I don't think the game was produced as a Monopoly parody, which would make it truly funny.<BR/><BR/>The WolfBrooklynWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994285019137108636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-2167885077003303522008-02-06T18:07:00.000-05:002008-02-06T18:07:00.000-05:00It's remarkable how most people who commented on t...It's remarkable how most people who commented on this here or elsewhere seem to have a total lack of any hint of sense of humor ...Sanegorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034171586302321045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-55406132073805915502008-02-06T17:24:00.000-05:002008-02-06T17:24:00.000-05:00Is there a card, "get out of Hell free" ?Is there a card, "get out of Hell free" ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-77495750255577151842008-02-03T23:17:00.000-05:002008-02-03T23:17:00.000-05:00This is not a patent law violation, nor is it a vi...This is not a patent law violation, nor is it a violation of any other form of intellectual property law (such as patent or trademark). Generally, the standard for such violations is that two products have to be so similar that consumers might be confused. There is no danger of any consumers believing this game to be Monopoly or produced by the Monopoly game's creators.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-91965350567798601812008-02-03T13:11:00.000-05:002008-02-03T13:11:00.000-05:00Forgive me if I just don't see it in the picture. ...Forgive me if I just don't see it in the picture.

I mean for me, maybe, but for the age that usually jumps rope?<BR/><BR/>Lemme see, no laughing around men, no jump-rope, and get out of the way when a man approaches. This sounds like one heck of a religion. Interestingly, it does not sound like one anyone in my family has ever practiced. One wonders.BBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939946821381798057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-76684994127993089432008-02-02T12:09:00.000-05:002008-02-02T12:09:00.000-05:00It's admirable that the other players kick in with...It's admirable that the other players kick in with tzedakah when you go bankrupt, but there's no incentive to keep your books balanced. . .mother in israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715046177293916034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-56510116438265309602008-02-01T15:51:00.000-05:002008-02-01T15:51:00.000-05:00I played this game with friends when we were learn...I played this game with friends when we were learning Yiddish! My family still doesn't believe me when I tell them about some of the rules, spaces, and "Chance/Community Chest" cards. It was fun to laugh at as outsiders, but it's pretty scary (and sad) that these are the lessons and values being taught in that community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
