My brother took going to jail really badly.

He refused all offers of food and drink,

spat and swore at anyone who came near him,

and smeared the walls with his own feces.

After that, we never played Monopoly again.

A few years ago, I confessed to my friend that when I was the banker, every time the other players looked away, I stole money from the bank.

I think she is still miffed I got away with it, even if I didn't win the games. lol

He would end up with piles of money tucked under the bank and I never did figure out where he stashed his pilfered houses and hotels.

He also managed to cheat at pick up sticks, jacks, and hopscotch!
Oy!
He was, however, a really good cook like his father, my Grandpa Linus.

We had to quit because he wouldn't even go to jail. Absolutely refused. Claimed he was totally innocent and the "Go to Jail" card was the result of a witch hunt.

She would look at her score sheet, decided she needed to roll two sixes and POOF! She would roll two sixes.

We considered taking her to Las Vegas, but the pit bosses frown on 8 year old gamblers.

But is if won big it went in my pocket while I played what I came with. Last time I actually paid for my trip. But I leaned to play the small machines and bet all the lines.
