Yup. See page 5.

I wrote a short article on Monopoly strategy and a picture of me at the world's largest Monopoly board and it all got boiled down to the fact that I like the hat and my "three house" strategy.

And a pity, because the Scottie is clearly the superior token.

I side with 'buy everything you can, mortgage when necessary'. The downside is that it tends to array people against you, in my experience...

Thanks Wizard! According to the website, the board is, "only" 930 square feet. I think this record can easily be beaten. The scale game pieces, houses and dice are very cool though.

One will notice that "favorite monopoly piece" is on every WoV member's profile page too! Clearly the Wiz is a monopoly enthusiast.

When I was a kid, we would bring our own tokens into play. I usually played with a penny or a nickel just to be different.

The piece I usually played with is retired apparently. I was always a horse on my parents' set.
