have cardboard cutouts that are bigger than their stupid little plastic holding stands??

I HATE THEM!  I'll try and substitute the pieces because they're too stupidly (not a real word I bet) big to be played on the board AND they fall over all the time OR slide out of the stupid little plastic stand.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

/Rant off

Is that Chutes 'N Ladders or Candyland? 

I prefer Monopoly myself.  Someday, I hope to shell out for the wooden set from the Franklin Mint.  Yes, I do love Monopoly.

I always considered the little cars with the pink and blue pegs that you had to shove in them for the game of Life to be the worst offender.  Your car falls over...and all your passengers spill out and you have to spend the next 30 seconds cramming them back in.  What a pain.

They should incorporate that into the game - the Medical Field career person should receive an incentive, per each passenger, and the cost is tripled if you didn't purchase the insurance.  BRILLIANT!

I love LIFE, hate Monopoly.  I have never made it through a complete game of Monopoly.  I either get too pizzed or liquidate and give it all away.

Ooopps... OP - I don't remember the last time I played a game with the pieces that are in question.  But if Fil doesn't like them, I don't either.

Beer rules Monopoly used to be great in college.  We had a couple cases of Leinenkugel's Bock (the good '80s stuff) and played.  Each time you landed on someone's property, you swigged one, and if you were sent to Jail, you had a slam a whole bottle.  One guy went to Jail 4 times within less than 30 minutes, and had one heckuva buzz real quick!  Ahhhh, those were the days.

Monopoly is good but I prefer Risk. My friends and I played one game for 3 days because no one could get a commanding advantage and the dice were all coming out about even.

and yes I hate those cut out pieces that are always falling over.

I don't like them, but I think they are designed for kids who might not have great manual dexterity and need something big to grab.

Like in Trivial Pursuit when some dolt was always putting in the colored pie pieces the wrong way into the little wheels, and they'd then get stuck forever so you always had to pretend like that one color wasn't there at the start of a new game until you actually earned that color... yeah. Sometimes it's the game design, sometimes it's the players.

Ah, but do you have Monopoly Deal? My new favorite.

Sorry Donkai, I haven't played those types of games in awhile. But yes, that sort of thing does tend to pizz me off. Then I have to sit down to pee.
