Alan...yes THAT Alan's Comments

A few years ago, I revised the rules to make the game more fun, including:
- No $1 bills. Everything got rounded to the nearest $5, to cut down on all that clutter and time wasted counting ones.
- No Free Parking. That square became the Gas Company, so there were 3 utilities to own. Rent was calculated according to how many of the utilities you owned.

Then I made up a bunch of cards called Fate Cards, so I had 3 stacks - Chance, Community Chest, and Fate. 2 of the 6 designated Chance and CC squares were drafted into Fate squares, so there were 2 of each category. Some of those Fate cards were:
- Go to jail free (this is really helpful at the end, when you are safer sitting in jail than walking across other people's hotel minefields);
- Go the opposite direction around the board (this made it possible to hit the income tax BEFORE you hit GO);
- You may build 1 house now on a property, whether you hold the entire neighborhood or not;
- Title deed for Boardwalk and Mediterranean Ave immediately swap positions/ownership (since the rent on Med. Ave is rounded down to $0 anyway, this made it a valuable property to own, so one could pick up Boardwalk for really cheap).
- If you don't like the number you just rolled, you may play this card and re-roll 1 of your dice, but you must accept that second roll.
- Tornado (You may pick up any house on the board and set it down on any other buildable property);
- Mafia (Each player loses 1 property of their choice and the property can be bought by whoever lands on it. Houses remain on it.)

About 10+ years ago, when weird-colored ketchup was a thing, I bought some blue margarine and used it to make some oatmeal cookies. My dad refused to eat them, because he said it looked like they were moldy.
