My favorite board game is Monopoly. To be more specific, Eurobusiness. I have played it since childhood. I remember that my parents didn't like that because it took so much time and we played the “short version”. It means that you receive cards randomly at the beginning of the game and money is unchanged. It was easier, I know but in my opinion that solution saved us a few hours that would be otherwise spent on the most boring part of this game when you are praying for the best cities and countries. Today I still really like it because it’s simple and everybody knows it. You don’t have to spend 30 minutes on describing the rules to others. The second reason why this game is my favorite is because you have a lot of time for other activities. Some board games demand 100% focus and it changes the ambiance of your party. Of course, we play only the basic version with cash. None of those new versions with credit cards have yet introduced features that have convinced me to buy them.
