Monopoly game at our house

[quote=no_such_reality]Tsk, tsk, tsk. Have you people forgotten monopoly? You are a tenant, the property owner is the land owner. So when you land on your middle child’s property and he’s offering partial payment, declare you’re squatting and force him to pay you a cash for keys payment of $200.[/quote]

Perhaps I wasn’t clear… I think the new rules are that every person that decides to purchase a property must immediately finance it with a mortgage, unlike previous versions of monopoly in which you bought the property outright….Because in this new version of monopoly, housing is not affordable to be purchased outright…just like how it is in today’s market. So as an element, you have to select the type of mortgage product to finance your purchase, and each time you pass go, you are obligated to pay the bank for the mortgage. At the begining of the games, the selection of mortgage types are plenty.

30 year fixed jumbo, 30 year fixed conforming
15 year fixed jumbo, 15 year fixed conforming
5 year ARM
I.O. loans
Also, in the beginning, stated income loans are just fine….

Then as the game progresses, some of these loan products start to disappear, and rates start to go up…But not before “intervention” which happens in the second half of the game, in which rates on the conforming loans drop like a brick, and the conforming limits are increased…However, some of the players will still not qualify….

Beyond the second half of the game, I’m not sure the direction the game should take…Because well, we don’t have a model of how that will turn out yet….Although, we can potentially tie this game to vote polls here on piggington, in which us in the community determine the outcome on a game by game basis.

Rich can make a fortune on this, because everyone who plays this new version of monopoly must register with this blog and the outcome of each game is determined by piggs voting on a poll.

Heck, we can even simulate “live interest rates”… Someone can play sheldon… And someone can play SDR and sdrealtor…

I’ll make an android version that runs on tablets and phones so that folks can get up-to-date live quotes on interest rates and “lock in on those deals”, because rates are going to go up, or “lock in on those home prices”, so that players won’t be “priced out forever”….

We need additional variables, like a tie-in to map displaying offenders that detract one’s property values too.

This will be our little version of “augmented reality”….

That’s easy. Every four turns, each player is allowed to make contributions to the Government. He that makes the most contributions get’s made whole and then the original monopoly rules apply.

But but but, what about the “China factor”? We need to to have an outcome when china stops accepting USD’s…We then need people to simulate foreign buyers that come in and snatch up property left and right and enslave us with our national debt…

Ooo ooo.. Can I play the evil China entity?

We then need someone to simulate the U.S. military that test fires a rocket across the pacific, but later denies it’s a rocket….Then we need to get into a trade pissing match…

Ooo oo.. I got it. Let’s bring in the other board game called “Risk”… Let’s call the new game… “Risk-opoly”…Internally, we’ll deal with the the mechanism of home prices, etc…But all the financing will be toward stockpiling ammunitions to wage war against other countries….. Someone can pretend to be rich taiwanese investors, that lose their fortune when China sinks the island into the ocean….
