#monopoly but everyone is playing as the banker

[centrally-unplanned]

Have told this story before, but back in college our group added a Central Banker player to the game, whose goal it was to maximize the amount of asset development on the board while preventing any one player from winning too early and bankrupting the rest (anti-monopoly actions by the FTC were also under their remit). They could set interest rates on loans and issue special liquidity infusions, things like that, and the game also evolved dynamic asset pricing based on the value of money given how flexible they were

At a certain point we realized that trying to play it with the paper money was just way, way too much work and so we ditched the bills for a cloud-hosted spreadsheet that tracked everyone's financial accounts. So we played all hunched over laptops, huddled around the board.

We may have gone a bit too far on that one.

my friends don't play monopoly with me anymore because i invented swaps and used them to technically keep people in the game as long as possible while i effectively owned all their properties

Do you do request? If you do can you do x men on a board game night? (Before the games were banned 😭)

Absolutely! Here’s some pre-banned game night headcanons:

- Charles introduced the idea as a ‘team bonding’ activity. It’s now one of the biggest regrets of his life.

- Logan would argue with Scott about what game they were going to play every. single. time.

- When they played Monopoly, Morph would morph into the Monopoly Man every time someone passed ‘Go’, and they would enthusiastically shout “you have passed Go! Collect $200!”. It got very annoying very quickly.

- Later in the evening when board games got boring, Jubilee would hold Mario Kart competitions, in which someone had to race her and the winner would come away with a cash prize. She never lost, and this was how she earned all her money.

- It was not a Game Night if Remy didn’t blow something up. Charles kept having to order in more versions of the same game because Remy kept destroying vital pieces of the games so they couldn’t be played.

- Hank was always the banker in Monopoly.

- Rogue and Remy weren’t allowed to play UNO, because they always got in an argument. You know that audio on TikTok that goes like ‘you cheating son of a bitch, you’re meant to say UNO when you only got one card left’? Yeah that’s actually them.

- Jean has been known to use her mutation to cheat on several occasions. She’s moved mirrors to be positioned behind whoever was opposite her when playing card games, so that she could see what their cards were. She’s also used her psychic rapport with Scott to secretly team up with him when she shouldn’t.

- Kurt and Rogue would bring snacks as a peace offering, but everyone forgot about the food after an hour or so. Most Game Nights ended with Kurt and Rogue chilling on the sofa, sharing snacks and watching shit go down between the others.

- Ororo is actually a bit of a sore loser. She lost to Logan in a game of cards before and subsequently made it rain whenever he stepped foot outside for the following week.

- Pietro was banned from Game Night immediately

Let me know if you want more!

haikyuu characters playing monopoly inspired by a 3 hour long game i just finished:

Suga: typically sits out as banker because of past instances where his competitiveness got the best of him (he flipped the board. twice.)

Hinata: gives it his all and gains like 50% of the properties but gets cocky and ends up having to mortgage most of them

Kageyama: could not care less about property, solely focused on gaining and maintaining money

Yamaguchi: rolls doubles so often that noya and tanaka start a campaign to have him eliminated because he’s “cheating” (he’s not, he’s just as confused as they are)

Tsukishima: Acts uninterested in the beginning but secretly develops a complex plan to win, and then poorly hides his annoyance when his plan fails

Noya: Is mostly focused on antagonizing others so he only gets like 3 properties but for some reason everyone keeps landing on them so he ends up with a lot of money

Tanaka: Gets pissed when everyone else won’t go along with his trades (“if you give me all of your greens i’ll buy you a soda” “you don’t even have a green???”)

Daichi: Remains quiet for most of the game and hides half of his money so people underestimate his wealth, then buys up everything at the end of the game and wins… every time.

Girls Night

“You owe me 200!”

“Fine! Just take all my money!”

You laughed, throwing the paper money at her and taking a sip of your wine. It was safe to say that you sucked at playing Monopoly. Ellie had ownership of all the railroads and utilities, Abby had at least 2 hotels on each of her properties, and Alex spent most of her time in jail.

It still wasn’t a match for you, who had 25 dollars to your name, 2 properties that only generated around 30.00 total in rent, and would miss the free parking space every chance you got. When your time came and you rolled the cursed dice, the Monopoly Gods decided to end your pathetic gaming reign by putting you in jail.

“Alright, well I’m out,” you stated defeatedly, taking a long sip of wine as your confirmation.

“Aw, it’s alright Y/N. Maybe you’ll do better the next game!” Abby tried but you shook your head with a quickness.

“Absolutely not. Not only is this game rigged to make me realize how terrible of a homeowner I am, but it lasts forever! Alex knows, she’s been in jail for the last three turns.”

“Hey, I don’t mind it. I just collect all my rent money while I’m in here,” Alex retorted.

You laughed as you heard the front door open and saw Jethro walk in with a grocery bag and a bottle of whiskey. You got up from your spot immediately, happy to see him home finally and walked over as he set the stuff down on the kitchen counter. He had let the team go home earlier in the night but told you he needed to stay behind to do some paperwork on their latest case. Abby was the first one to suggest the girls game night and it didn’t take much convincing of Ellie or Alex when the promise of wine, snacks, and a warm fire were included.

“Hey hun. You just missed my embarrassing defeat in Monopoly. Remind me to never play this game with your team again, they’re entirely too good. And I think Abby’s been hiding all the good chance cards up her sleeve.”

He chuckled as you gave him a welcome home kiss and started noisily poking around in the goods he had brought home.

“Ooh. Chips, dip and whiskey? You trying to butter me up sir?”

He smiled and pried the bottle from your hands. “Whiskeys mine. And it sounds to me like you’re already buttered up,” he teased softly, not wanting his special agents to hear your two’s playful PDA. With another small kiss, he walked out to the group of girls and surveyed the real estate war.

“Doing well Abbs. Bishop, I like your strategy. And Quinn, stop hiding in jail.”

“I’m not hiding! I’m just taking my time,” she defended as everyone laughed.

“I’ll be downstairs if you girls need me. Good night.”

They called out their farewells as he made his way into his little woodworking dungeon and you took your spot back, bringing the new snacks with you.

“Alright Banker Abby. I need a loan,” you pleaded.

————

The clock read 11 pm once the girls left and you cleaned up your game space. In the end, it was Ellie who won, most likely due to her incredible NSA analysis skills and you had ended up with at least more than the small loan Banker Abby gave you. Once you put all the furniture back and glassware in the dishwasher, you made your way downstairs to see Jethro.

There was light country music and a muted tv playing as you watched him slowly move the sandpaper over his newest project. He had finished the boat a while back and offered to build you some beautiful planter boxes for the garden you wanted to start once spring came around.

It was always a treat for you when you watched him work. His movements were smooth and calculated, knowing just how much pressure to apply or what angle to use and seeing him wearing his tool belt and covered in sawdust just did it for you.

“You gonna stand there all night?” he called out with a smirk.

Walking over, you hopped up on one of the counters and took a small sip of his mason jar whiskey, slightly cringing at the taste.

“You know who would be really great for Ellie? Nick. I think their different personalities would really even each other out.”

“Rule number 12, sweetheart.”

You rolled your eyes at his comment. Since when do any of his subordinates follow it, including himself. You knew all about his past with the director and Sloan, he wasn’t fooling anyone.

“Rule number 83. Don’t be a hypocrite,” you quipped, making up your own rule.

He gave you the look that you see from him to his team all the time but it didn’t work on you so you just smiled cheekily back at him. He stopped sanding and came over, taking the glass from your hands and finishing the awful brown liquor, your arms snaking around his neck. He smelt like a lumbermill mixed with a distillery and you loved it. You loved it even more when you pulled him in for a kiss and tasted the leftover vapors of his whiskey on his tongue. The effect of drinking your 3 glasses of wine had you feeling warm and fuzzy and made Jethro’s touch electric.

When you two pulled away, he tucked a loose strand of hair behind your ear before speaking. “Let’s go to bed.”

Not needing any convincing, you nodded and he helped you down, taking off his toolbelt and carelessly dropping it on one of the tables before following you back upstairs.

“Uhm, no? We don’t have, uh, starsniffs as you say.” Sniffing stars would explain why this girl is talking like she’s on another planet, that’s for sure.

“I’m… quite baffled you don’t even know where you are, but this is the Magnus Institute.” He looked for some sense of realization in her face as he continued. “…London.”

“Those papers on my desk are documented ‘paranormal experiences,’ or so they want to seem.” The latter was mumbled beneath his breath. “Anyways, this celestial jade of yours. Would that go under the same category orrr?”

Jon was trying to make sense of this and was failing terribly.

“Oh, huh… I don’t think that’s supposed to make that noise, but okay…” The young woman standing in a dimly-lit office begins shuffling through the papers once more. A red light attached to device in a corner goes off.

“Damn it, noooo! I’m supposed to be playing celestial jade in an hour, how did I get here…?” She mutters, completely engrossed in her aimless search.

if Lokius becomes canon there needs to be a scene where everyone in the TVA is playing Monopoly (no one knows about Lokius yet) and Mobius is the banker rather than an actual player so when Loki lands on a space where he has to pay a lot of money Mobius will go “okay you gotta give up x amount of dollars” and Loki just gives him a seductive look and go “do I have to?” And Sylvie slams her hands down on the table and yells “THIS BITCH IS FUCKING THE BANKER!”

[gracies-baby]

this account is the reason i am on tumblr fr. could you do one where audrey and abby are plotting to get gracie and y/n together but theyre already together and audrey and abby either see them kissing or bump into them on a date or something

Monopoly

(Gracie Abrams x Reader)

I’m so sorry this took so long 😭

——————————————————————————

"What're you smiling at?" Audrey teases her friend when she sees her smiling at her phone.

"Nothing. It doesn't matter" Gracie replies as she puts her phone down to face her best friend.

"Nothing wouldn't happen to be coming over today, would she? Me and Abby decided we should talk to her. We know you're never gonna make the first move so we're just gonna have to convince Y/n to like jump on you or something" Audrey smirks as she watches her roommates face turn red.

"Ew Audrey! What the fuck?!" The brunette groans as she walks to the kitchen.

"Don't act like you wouldn't love that!" Audrey teases before walking back to her room.

--

"Hey!" Gracie exclaims as she answers the door to see Abby and Y/n on the other side. She steps aside to let the other two girls in. Abby greets her cousin before walking to the kitchen to find something to eat, leaving the other two girls alone.

"Hi, I missed you" Y/n smiles as she quickly leans up to press a quick peck against the brunette's lips.

"I definitely missed you more. Audrey thinks I've got a crush on you by the way. She won't stop bugging me about it" Gracie replies as she looks around to make sure neither of the other two could hear them.

"Well, is she wrong? Abby thinks I've got a crush on you too. She keeps telling me stories about you as a kid by the way. Did you really rip the heads off all her dolls?" Y/n asks as she walks further into the apartment to sit on the couch.

"She was being a bitch. I wouldn't have done it if she didn't deserve it" Gracie replies, wrapping her arm around her girlfriend's shoulders, allowing Y/n to rest her head on her shoulder.

"You seem like you were a mean kid. I don't think we would've gotten along" Y/n jokes as Gracie scoffs jokingly.

"I wasn't mean! Abby was just annoying. She would always cheat at games. One time, we got into a big fight over monopoly and my mom said we weren't allowed to play anymore. We haven't played it since then"

"She still cheats at games. We should play monopoly tonight. I wanna see you being competitive" Y/n replies as she moves away from the brunette, seeing Audrey walk in.

"Gracie's always competitive. The other day, she threw my phone across the room because I beat her at Scrabble" Audrey tells her as she sits on the chair next to the couch.

"You definitely cheated. I would've won if you hadn't cheated" Gracie grumbles as she turns her eyes to the TV.

"Gracie, not everyone cheats at games. Maybe you're just not as good as you think you are" Y/n replies causing the brunette to jokingly glare at her before Abby walks in.

"Yeah, she kinda sucks at games honestly. She only thinks she's good because she always beat Henry and August but that's only because they suck even more" Abby teases as she takes a seat next to Y/n on the couch.

"Fine, lets play monopoly then. I'm gonna kick all your asses" Gracie grumbles as they all go to sit at the table.

--

"You need to pay!" Gracie yells at her cousin when she lands on her property.

"No I don't! You didn't even pay for the property! You just took the card" Abby yells back as she covers her money, making sure the brunette can't steal it.

"Y/n, tell her I paid for it!" The brunette asks the banker only to be interrupted by her cousin.

"Of course she's gonna side with you! You're her favorite!"

"Guys maybe we should stop playing-" Y/n tries to say only to be interrupted.

"I am not her favorite! You're her best friend and roommate! She would only side with me because I'm right" Gracie yells at her cousin before storming off to her room.

"That was.. intense" Y/n says as she begins packing up the game.

"Well, Gracie did tell you we weren't allowed to play. Now you know why" Abby replies before getting an idea.

"You should go follow her. Me and Audrey can finish packing up"

"Are you sure? It's just a game. I think she'll be okay"

"Just go. You would definitely cheer her up" Y/n agrees before walking to her girlfriend's room and closing the door behind her.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry, we shouldn't have played" Y/n tells her girlfriend as she takes a seat next to her on her bed before leaning her head on her shoulder.

"It's not your fault. Now you know why I broke her dolls" Gracie replies as she lays down on the bed, bringing Y/n with her and allowing her to rest her head on her chest.

"By the way, you're definitely my favorite. I love Abby but she's got nothing on you" Gracie smiles before leaning down to connect their lips. Y/n sighs into the kiss before Gracie moves to lay on top of her girlfriend so she can deepen the kiss. Just when she's about to take the other girls shirt off, the door opens causing them to jump away.

"Don't you two know how to knock?!" Gracie exclaims while Y/n lays on the bed in shock.

"How were we supposed to know you two were sucking face in here?! When did this start?!" Audrey replies with a big smile on her face.

"Around 3 months" Gracie tells them while Abby and Audrey begin to glare at the other two girls.

"So this whole time we've been trying to get you two together, you already were? Why didn't you tell us!" Abby asks.

"It's just been kinda fun sneaking around. Besides, you two would always leave us alone for hours trying to get us to confess and the alone time was kinda nice" Y/n speaks up for the first time since the other two girls walked in.

"Do you know how much I was panicking when you came home the other night with a hickey? I thought you were with some random girl! It would've completely ruined my plans" Abby tells her roommate while Y/n grins at her sheepishly.

"I'm so happy you two are together but if you ever have sex anywhere other than one of your beds, you're both getting kicked out 'cause we don't wanna deal with that" Audrey tells the both while Gracie and Y/n both look away with guilty looks on their faces.

"What the fucks wrong with you guys?!"

[canisalbus]

Okay, its game night and tonight's game is monopoly. Can be Vasco/Machete only or you can also include modern versions of the fic characters, you choose

Who's winning? And more importantly, who's taking this way too seriously?

Vasco (horse and rider) has gotten bored and largely given up, he's messing with people's houses and hotels and stacking them on top of each other, fiddling with his phone and wandering into the kitchen to get a snack and stretch his legs every ten minutes or so.

Vittorio (thimble) is winning. He doesn't seem to follow a specific strategy but has played his cards well and luck evidently favors him. He owns the most properties and is the most financially stable player by far. He's been the quietest of the bunch all night and feels shyly pleased about being at the top, but gets very apologetic when someone lands on one of his high-rent locations and he has to take money from them.

Machete (howitzer) and Piero (tophat) are taking it way too seriously. Both have agreed that Vittorio may be invincible at this point, but they're on a head-to-head battle for the second place. Everyone else has expressed willingness to call it quits but they're way too competitive to give up until one has clearly and objectively beaten the other. Machete has fancier and more developed streets but he keeps ending up in jail more often than anyone else. Piero is the banker, owns three of the four railroads and is trying to get the last one from Machete.

Maurice (battleship) was the first to go bankrupt and has retired from the game, now he's mostly chilling with Vasco and giving moral support to Vittorio. He's getting sleepy and peckish and thinking of maybe getting late night takeout on his way home, but he doesn't quite have the heart to leave yet. At 11:56 he joins Vasco in the kitchen to make grilled cheese sandwiches that will surely give him heartburn next morning.

Alonso (racecar) was just a little too rude last time and he wasn't invited.

cheat, april 2 -- @jegulus-microfic -- 1,144 words

kind of went a little over here lol because this was so fun to write! anyways, enjoy <3

-----

“That’ll be 850, please,” Regulus says smugly.

Lily, rolling her eyes, reluctantly hands over a sheaf of brightly coloured Monopoly money. “And now I’m basically broke. Regulus takes my money yet again.”

Glancing over at his boyfriend, James watches Regulus add the notes to his bank, all of them arranged neatly from highest to lowest in a line next to his properties. They’re already quite far into the game, with several houses on the board and the odd few hotels, mainly on Regulus’ properties. He’s the banker, and James is unsure if that’s the reason for his success, or if he’s genuinely just a good player.

Sirius seems to think the former, as he angrily tosses the dice onto the board and lands, surprise, surprise, on one of Regulus’ properties. Again.

“No!” he howls, slapping his hands on his forehead, earning a bemused look from Remus. “I swear he’s rigged the dice!”

“Sirius, how I can rig dice?” Regulus responds brusquely. “That’s 330.”

“Lily, you shouldn’t have let him be the banker,” Sirius accuses, glaring at Lily. “Whenever he’s the banker, I lose!”

James leans over to Regulus, resting his arm on the back of the chair, mumbling, “Sirius seems to think you’re a cheat, Reg.”

“He’s just a sore loser,” Regulus informs him matter-of-factly. “Every time I’m the banker, he says—”

“—It’s bad luck, Lily, he rigs it—”

“That I’m a liar,” Regulus begins.

“He lies, he schemes, he plots, he—”

“—Plans.” Regulus nods. Sirius flashes him an irritated look, but Regulus doesn’t even sound upset about it, just amused, as if he’s heard all of this before. His fingers are laced together in front of him, a businessman about to suggest a proposal. “You need to get more creative at your insults, Sirius.”

“Oh, shut up,” his brother growls, flinging the money at Regulus in a shower of coloured paper.

James can’t help chuckling, leading to Sirius narrowing his eyes at him. Caught, James drops his arm, straightening in his seat.

“I see how it is,” Sirius announces. “James is helping him.”

There’s a beat, and Regulus laughs. “I don’t need help. I build my Monopoly empire with my own blood, sweat, and tears.”

The game continues. Sirius stews in silence as Remus rolls the dice, missing Regulus’ properties completely and landing safe on an unclaimed plant. Then Mary rolls, grinning as she gives Lily 100.

“I don’t mind giving you my money,” she tells Lily, who swoons.

Regulus goes, where he lands on one of Sirius’ properties. He has to hand over 200 through gritted teeth, like it pains him to part with his fake money, much to Sirius’ delight.

And then it’s James’ turn.

It honestly couldn’t have worked out better. James rolls six, putting his figurine right on one of Regulus’ properties.

With a hotel.

“Ha!” Sirius crows, jabbing a finger at it.

Defeatedly, James asks Regulus, “How much do I owe you?”

Regulus looks at his cards, though James and everyone else at the table knows Regulus is doing it just for show, pretending as if he doesn’t know exactly how much James owes him.

“1150.”

Even though he’s played Monopoly so many times, James has never won at it. One time a few years ago, he’d played with his parents and Regulus. It had gone on for hours, and both him and Effie had lost, leaving it a tense battle between Regulus and Fleamont. James’ dad had won by the skin of his teeth, and has never let Regulus live it down.

James can’t help comparing that time to now, how he only has 500 left, majorly under the rent due, and how the same thing had happened last time. Regulus had let him lose then, hellbent on beating Fleamont, but now he has a mischievous gleam in his eye as James presents him with the last of his money.

“Oh, don’t worry,” Regulus continues. “It’s a hotel. I’ll let you stay there for free, if you give me a kiss to make up for it.”

“What?” Sirius explodes. “That’s not— You can’t do that— Lily—”

Lily holds up her hands. “It’s just my game, I can’t control what he does.”

Scrabbling for the box, Sirius finds the rulebook and flicks it open. “It’s against the rules.”

“I’m the banker.”

“That means nothing—”

Remus and Mary are silently laughing behind their hands, tears in Mary’s eyes as she tries to keep quiet. Lily’s eyes dart between the two of them, pressing her lips together.

“Are you calling my boyfriend a cheat, Sirius?” James asks innocently. “I don’t think it’s in the rulebook.”

“He’s also my bloody brother, James—”

“It’s not in the book,” Remus confirms.

A charged silence falls over the table. Regulus, grinning, hooks a finger under James’ chin to tug him closer. Entranced, James follows, like a dog with a bone, the tide to the moon, the planets to the sun.

The kiss is chaste, sweet, as people are watching, but underneath the table, Regulus squeezes James’ thigh, the promise of more to come later.

They part, and it’s an effort for James not to grab him by the neck and kiss him senseless, but he refrains, the butterflies in his stomach fluttering at the wink Regulus sends his way.

“Cheaters,” Sirius huffs. “Thought you did this alone, Reggie. If you’re doing that, I’m also doing it.”

“Be my guest. You don’t have to hotel yet,” Regulus quips.

The game continues for another few rounds. Mary goes out first, after divvying out her savings to Sirius, of all people. Remus goes out second, unable to pay his debt to Regulus. Lily is soon to follow, tossing her leftover bits of money to Regulus as well. Sirius is the fourth out, coming dangerously close to flipping the board as he also hands all of his money over to Regulus.

It’s just him and James left.

And James, in a cruel, or rather predictable, twist of fate, lands on one of Regulus’ properties. Again.

It’s laughable, honestly.

Sirius puts his head in his hands and wails because his brother has won. Mary, bursting into laughter again, excuses herself to get a glass of wine, and Lily and Remus try to smother their laughter at Sirius’ dramatic reaction.

“You going to steal all of my money?” James whispers. “It’s yours, if you want it.”

“Don’t need to. I’ve already won anyway.”

Regulus kisses him again, and Sirius, mumbling something about cheaters, best friends kissing brothers, and how shitty this game is, flips the Monopoly board.

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

okay time for the real questions whose monopoly nights get the most intense: toman, tenjiku or 10th gen black dragon?

Ykw that is a good question, generally stumped rn. This is how I see each night going though

Toman-

Lots of swearing and shouting, pretty much everyone here is a sore loser.

No one has actually read the rules so they're not even playing the game correctly, Mikey sometimes makes up random rules in the middle of the game.

Mikey also offers to switch his property for snacks if anyone has them.

They fight over who gets to be what piece at the start too.

There's a bite taken out of the corner of the board and no one can remember how that happened (most of them blame Baji and his sharp teeth)

Tenjiku-

They all think they're the best at this game and actually threaten each other while playing.

All of them try to cheat too and smirk at each other when they have to pay each other.

Ran makes dad jokes anytime someone lands in jail "ah just like old times".

Izana continually reminds everyone that he's the leader of them throughout (especially if he's losing)

Rindou and a few of the others try to turn it into a drinking game everytime

Half the pieces are missing

10th gen Black dragons-

They all know Koko will win no matter what so usually Inui and Taiju try to team up against him

None of them actually like this game so they never know why they even play

Lots of shouting

Koko doesn't want to play the banker role but knows the other two will cheat otherwise

Taiju always gives Inui the dog piece

The board 100% ends up flipped before they can finish

[a-tear-in-space]

Milgram characters playing Monopoly (some random HCs I made)

Haruka - Does not want to be the dog piece. Doesn't know how to play, so one of the other players typically have to tell him what to do as he goes along. Pretty much just happy to be there since he's getting attention. Has the least amount of properties bought.

Yuno - Doesn't care for the game too much, but plays it anyway. At some point another player (probably Mahiru) buys a space she wanted and she silently holds a grudge against them for the rest of the game. Has a fair amount of properties.

Fuuta - Oh boy. When he's unhappy with a roll, everyone knows it. Probably the type of player to just get progressively more pissed off as things go on. He keeps landing on properties that others have bought and it's slowly draining his money. He ends up landing on one of Shidou's properties with a hotel and gives up trying. Has maybe one or two properties. Kotoko calls him a bad player and he tries to start a fight.

Muu - Actually kind of good at the game. Has somehow remained stocked up on money for most of the game because she keeps asking Haruka for his, and he doesn't mind giving it to her. She keeps trying to get out of paying tax to other players by guilt tripping them. Has a few properties, some with one or two houses.

Shidou - Relatively good at the game (he probably played it with his family.) Definitely has the smartest method when it comes to property management - investing everything into one property and fully upgrading it before founding another. Has been calm the entire game and nobody can tell what he's thinking about. Has one or two fully upgraded properties.

Mahiru - Mostly just goes for the properties she likes, more than anything. Not the greatest player, but not the worst either. She's pretty much just happy to be here. Has a fair amount of properties across the board.

Kazui - The banker. Actually kind of good at the game, though he does end up in jail a few times. Has to stop Kotoko and Fuuta from fighting. Usually the one who has to give pointers on how to play to Haruka and Amane. Has a few of the more expensive properties on the board.

Amane - Keeps trying to take money from the bank. Has been silently staring at the board with a blank stare the entire game as she plays, and nobody knows if that's a good thing or not. Probably the type of player to try and flip the board at some point if she gets annoyed. Has a few properties to her name, but nothing major.

Mikoto - Has spent like 75% of the game in jail. Nobody knows how he keeps getting sent there, especially him, but he insists he finds it funny. Spends most of his time talking to the other players. Has a couple of properties that he's managed to buy (when not in jail.)

Kotoko - By far the most complex player, rivalling Shidou in terms of prowess at the game. Switches sporadically between pointing out mistakes/flaws in the other players' decisions (especially Fuuta's) to being completely silent and observing what's going on the entire game. Nobody knows which is worse. Has somehow avoided going to jail the entire game. Has a few well stocked properties. Ready and willing to fight.

Es - Does not want to be here, probably only forced to. Refuses to play, claiming that it's not something a warden should do.

Marauders playing Monopoly:

Lily would bring monopoly to Hogwarts

Everyone was confused because of it but excited

Except Remus (he knows what is about to be unleashed)

Sirius and James would agrue cause they want the same counter

They resolved the conflict by wrestling (James won)

Remus would be the banker cause he doesn't trust others with it

Sirius would buy every single possession he landed on without second thoughts

James would hate it cause he would land on them just after Sirous bought them

Lily would lose her mind trying to trade with Sirius

"You don't even NEED this card! Just give it to me!!"

"I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU THE RED CARD IT'S THE COOLEST COLOR, PISS OFF"

Marlene would hide money in her sleeves/pockets

And every time everyone thought she was bankrupt, she would take out ANOTHER STASH OF MONEY

Dorcas and Mary would partner up to collectively destroy Sirius, Lily and Marlene

With all that, no one really paid attention to Peter

He slowly built his empire in the pink section

He already had 4 houses on each possesion and they had to pay him a FORTUNE for each

He won in the end

Remus and Lily were extremely impressed

....................................

Inspired by the game I played yesterday with my friend and her siblings. Yes, it was monopoly. Yes, I absolutely DESTROYED THEM.

Also, I haven't seen this done with marauders, so ye. It needed to be done.

Designated monopoly banker no one else can be trusted

Also if they are playing a board game Donnie is the only one who actually reads the instructions. He'll read them out loud but there is like a 3% chance any of them were actually listening.

He has a million niche hobbies like he'll be leaving the lair with a pair of binoculars and a giant encyclopedia and they'll be like donnie where are you going and he'll be like oh I'm going bird watching

He has like an extensive rock collection he started when he was like 7 and if you make the mistake of asking about it he will go through each rock and give an in depth history

At least 3 shelves in his bedroom are dedicated to his lego collection and when he gets a new set he scurries off to his room and you won't see him again for like 8 hours

He does freelance programming work solely to fund his lego addiction

Him and Mikey sit at his computer and play runescape together Donnie plays and Mikey watches and it's what gets Mikey into mmorpgs

Omg him and Mikey play fire boy and water girl together and it almost destroys their relationship

Donnie gets cold easy and in the winter he'll walk around the lair with a blanket draped over his shoulders and he'll fling it back dramatically like it's his mysterious cloak

and when he sits on the couch for a movie he creates like a blanket igloo with just his face sticking out

Donnie tutors Angel she'll come over to the lair and he'll make her a cup of hot chocolate and help her with her homework in the kitchen

Everyone once in a while Donnie's brain will do like a factory reset and he'll forget a very basic fact because his brain is so filled with random knowledge

He's obsessed with peanut butter and if left to his own devices he would eat nothing but pb&j sandwiches for the rest of his life. It's a regular occurrence to walk into the kitchen and donnie is mid eating a spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate chips on it.

And he'd kill a man for a reeses peanut butter cup

I had the most stupid thought. Monopoly with the ghouls... I just know that'd be a disaster. Somebody would be trying to eat the game pieces. Others are fighting over property.. Somebody is just sitting in the corner scared of everything that's happening.

I imagine Copia had put them in timeout many times which did not work and ended up having to ban the game completely because they can't act right

I very almost added the Monopoly videogame to the 'ghouls and videogames' ask you sent last until I had images of the Nintendo Switch being thrown out of the window when someone gets bancrupted.

The pack has never actually been able to finish a game of Monopoly because it always ends up with someone crying (normally Phantom) and someone in a blind rage flipping the table (Dew.)

The fighting always starts from the second the game box is opened when everyone quarrels over which piece they all want, despite how they always pick the exact same ones every time. Mountain prefers to just watch and mediate any quarrels that break out while Copia acts as the banker because nobody else can be trusted with the fake money.

everything goes smoothly for the first few turns until more and more properties get bought up. the board quickly fills up with bought properties. Sunny somehow always manages to lose all her money which prompts an argument if she gets new notes or if they consider her bankrupt already. The table gets knocked and they have to pick everything up off the floor and try to remember who was where.

Swiss rolls the dice so hard it goes skidding off the table and under the sofa, so they have to pause the game to move it to retrieve it. It's already been an hour and most of them are getting bored. Phantom ended up in jail 2 turns ago and is unable to roll a double so he has to mortgage his properties to pay bail. Cirrus and Cumulus have somehow managed to build houses already which sends Dew into a blind rage when he lands on them.

Copia has had to move the bank to the other side of the room because Rain kept trying to distract him to steal money so he doesn't have to mortgage his properties. Aurora and Phantom quickly get bankrupted when they run out of properties to mortgage. Cirrus now owns half the board.

Swiss has gotten bored by this point and has started flicking houses at Phantom from over the table. He then pulls a card and has to bankrupt because he can't pay his taxes. Only Dew, Aether, Cirrus and Cumulus are still in the game by this point. Dew and Aether have about four properties between them and the rest is owned by the ghoulettes. Most spaces now have hotels on them. Aether loses to Cumulus.

Dew tries to kick Cirrus from under the table but instead boots Phantom in the shins which makes him burst into tears. He gets told off but it only makes him more angry. Aurora and Sunny are trying to stack the unused house pieces as high as possible on the edge of the table.

Dew lands on Cirrus' Boardwalk with a hotel, immediately loses all his money and gets bankrupted. he flips the table in a blind fit of rage and starts screaming at Cirrus. She screams back at him. There are game pieces all over the floor in the living room. Phantom is crying in the corner with Swiss trying to stop him. Aether is trying to calm down Dew while the ghoulettes try to calm Cirrus down. Rain is somehow managing to ignore the chaos while playing Pokemon

Copia bans the game after that. (it's not like they'd have been able to play again anyway given how most of the pieces were now missing)

hiiii!!!! love ur posts, ur hcs specifically always eat. i was wondering if u had any hcs for family game night w/ the gang??? ty!!!!

THANK YOU!! and OF COURSE I DO!!

they're probably playing monopoly and after every game night they all yell they're never playing it again (they play it every week)

they fight about who's banker and then finally they all scream "FINE DARRY YOU DO IT" because he's the only trust worthy one

Could also someone making Johnny do it

Darry was probably sitting on the couch minding his own business 😭 he's there to keep the peace

Steve and Two-bit probably start wrestling for some reason

Steve takes it SO seriously, like he is LOCKED IN

Two-bit is robbing the bank FOR SURE

If Johnny was banker everyone would start yelling and Johnny would be like "uhm please don't rob the bank?"

bro is stressing

Dally yells at everyone to shut up and yanks the money back from two-bit

NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!! what pieces are they using??

steve: car

darry: shoe

soda: dog

twobit: thimble because he thinks it funny

dally: canon

johnny: hat

ponyboy: would wanna use the shoe but cant because of darry so instead he chooses ship or wheel barrel

if you know me you know I gotta include some papercut

oh if curly comes over??? he wants to use the ship. but he sees soda reaching for the dog?? he picks the dog.

and soda starts being like wth but pony just tells soda to let curly use it because curlys excuse would be "I use the dog at home :3"

(he doesn't. pony knows this because pony has gone to the shepard house and played monopoly with angela, tim, and curly. but pony doesn't wanna call curly out on lying because he knows soda would always use that as another excuse to why curly is horrible and they should break up)

ponyboy loves snakes and ladders because because it reminds him of his childhood (they used to play it a lot trust)

he doesn't care for the game much itself though

I feel like Pony is the type to get genuinely upset when people start cheating and not taking the game seriously

like he probably leaves the games sometimes because things get too hectic

and everyone thinks he's just being a sore loser and its like "actually no i just wanted to play the game"

this would probably mainly happen because he'd wanna play a specific game that no one else likes but soda makes them because pony's turn to pick

congrats on 5k!!

for the prompts: 11 with maximum fluff please :)

Thank you ❤️

11. "Are you taking his side against me?"

Steve and Eddie had an agreement when they started dating to no matter what always make time for the kids. Steve was worried the kids would feel abandoned and Eddie didn't want to be the guy that took Steve away from his family.

Saturdays became family days. Sometimes they'd go over to the Hopper-Byers for a BBQ, or to the bowling alley and die from brain freezes after Steve easily defeated them all, or to the arcade where they'd cheer Mad Max to another high score.

This week was a games night at Steve's house. The kids were all sleeping over, a couple mattresses from the house's many room had been dragged into the living room for the kids to dogpile onto later when they watched a movie. For now they were arguing over which game to play.

"Monopoly has the most players."

"Yeah but you always cheat as the banker and El just gives everyone her money."

"I think we should share our money, do you think sharing is bad? What about Twister?"

"Max can't play twister with her bad back, what about Clue?"

"No Mike always let's Will peak at his cards and Will always wins."

Steve feels the beginning of a stress headache coming on and decides to put an end to this, "Let's just play monopoly, Will is right it has the most players, I'll be the banker and El can give money to whoever she wants."

El sticks her tongue out at Mike but the party agrees. An hour later Steve wishes they'd just played connect four.

"Pay up Edward!"

"No you're in jail I ain't paying a criminal!"

"You literally sell drugs!"

"Yeah but Hopper doesn't let me get caught!"

"It's the rules to pay me!"

"I don't care!"

"Steve!"

"Steve!"

Steve closes his eyes sighing, "Eddie pay Dustin, it's literally a white space it's like five bucks."

"Are you taking his side against me?" Eddie pouts trying to give Steve his best doe eyes.

"Yes Eddie, our son needs his five bucks to buy his harmonica for jail, do you not want him to persue music," Steve giggles.

Eddie giggles back, handing over the money. El passes Eddie a ten dollar note as a replacement, "Here Eddie we can share."

The table erupts in chaos again but Steve can't help but smile at his family, they won't finish the game, no-one ever does but later they'll all curl up in front of the tv and it'll feel like home.
