INSANE Monopoly.

Massive respect for Candy, who upon realizing he was going to lose, set out to extend the game and torture his friends as much as possible 👍

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, haunted by a single question... "why is it Lynx telephone he have fat nut"

Fun fact, I always wanted to play ultimate monopoly, and would always show it to friends as a joke for the next boardgame to play, one night my friend said "1v1 me" on a whim and moved the first piece, we then 1v1'd in ultimate monopoly over the course of three days, she won.

Not even 5 minutes in and they're divided on the rules. This is the true stock market experiance

Monopoly is the only board game I know of where the game doesn't end when a goal is met, it ends when everyone loses what little sanity they had going into it.

Hey! I was part of the group that made this! Super cool that you played this! And if you thought that this was needlessly large, an even larger version is in the works, likely to be put on tabletop simulator workshop within a couple weeks. It's got 8 tracks across two boards, more properties, a Pyramid Scheme, more investment volatility, and even more ways to lose friends. ...and yes, we refer to Beacon Street as Bacon Street as well :)

When Vale was a kid, his family thought boardgames was just hitting each other with boards.

So the problem with Monopoly is you're stuck in just one city going round a board, what you really need is a denser metro area with layers and a sub section to hide out in, then whoever gets an advantage and initiate a hostile takeover on the smaller sectors

Yknow, one of my favorite boardgame memories back in the day is actually playing what me and my friends called "Batshit monopoly" Where it's basically monopoly but we took other random boardgame and card game items from other games and implemented it into monopoly and we had to use our imagination to make the game mechanics. So for example, I would play monopoly with my buds, but then I'd draw a pikachu pokemon card and use my pikachu to shock the electric company my buds owned to avoid paying rent. and I would use a +2 uno card to get an extra 400$ when I pass go. It was basically a frankenstein'd amalglamation of various other board and card games into one game and it was beautiful. It was like 4 different card games + 2 board games mixed into 1.

30:10 "He's completely fucked, but he's still in the game." Arguably, that's even worse.

Honestly overly complex versions of traditional games are fun as fuck. I demand a video on 5D chess with time travel and multiple dimensions. (It's a real game)

On this episode of ValeGear, Vale instigates a Jacobin uprising through the game of Monopoly, Lynx almost says a racial slur, Maivi drives Vale's 2009 Honda Accord through every firm on Wall Street (multiple casualties), Virtrial hooks Vale up with high grade black tar heroin, Solll recreates Tianamen Square, Chamber causes hyperinflation by buying 99% of the Tesla Stock, and Candy finds true love within the Monopoly Man's loving and affirmative gaze.

Now I want to see monopoly Earth edition, with 7 different boards for the 7 continents, each board having a number of spaces and rings based on the size of the continent and the quantity of notable locations… maybe each board has a different set of decks to draw from with region based effects… I can see the Antarctica board having 2 locations and a ton of utility and chance spaces…

Utilities in regular monopoly: "Spend money you'll never get back." Utilities in this version: "So you like winning?"

7:47 Railroad historian here, there was one account of a railroad building across the Atlantic and it was from Florida to the Keys. It was called the keys west extension and was built AND operated by Henry Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railroad (which still operates!) intended to be a way to ship goods from Cuba, it didn’t get much traffic and was DECIMATED by the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. What was left of it was sold to become State route 1. And yes this was an actual thing in Florida

20:08 he used the calculator to retract 1 dollar

The fact that flip table is an option that’s always accessible means I could never play this game the temptation is too great

Imagine if the boards used different currency so you had to exchange before you could buy anything
