Ultimate Gambit

Well, I honestly dont believe it.
Those of you who know me may (or may not) know that I own a number of varying monopoly boards, and sort of collect them. Well, the day has come where Monopoly is changing. Yes, it’s ditching the cash, the ability to cheat, and half the fun of being the banker and moving to the digital age. Monopoly will now be played with credit cards. I personally believe this is a bad move. Afterall, do people not play board games to get away from the digital world? This is just making board games move a step closer to computer games.

While that may seem sensible to board game manufacturers, i genuinely think they target totally different audiences, and trying to cross the two is not the way forward.

Show me the money!

When i was back home recently, i went to Ikea and bought a Detolf cabinet to display my recent purchases of toys and busts. Afterall, what would be the point in buying them if they werent going to be on display?!

Now, i know many of you reading this will not appreciate the beauty of these items, however its an addiction that i cannot cure (and actually quite like). A bit like cocaine… but cheaper and less harmful to my body…
Anyway, onto the photos This is not my whole collection, rather a selection of the ones that are still at home (i have some on display up here in Nottingham too). Enjoy
