Monopoly Deal : A Card Game to Domain

It was midnight on a Tuesday, where I was holed up in an apartment with others crowded around the dimly lit kitchen table with stools to sit on and sushi to bite on. Time ticks as one player from the clockwise direction sets down two cards, one to claim property and the other to claim everyone's property. Within seconds, the player cashes in and the turn ranks so wild that the smell of wasabi wafts through my nasal cavity at the sheer shock of how my brother managed to destroy my empire of hotel chains, boulevards, and railroads in a single move. On the second move, placing me under enormous debt to pay him back with. The savagery between siblings, especially when my own pride went down the malfunctioning plumbing system in the apartment as well. For Monopoly Deal, it beats a game of UNO anyday when it comes to the definition of strategy. Perhaps I'm exaggerating.

The first time I played this game, I was completely lost in confusion of how many cards I should have in my hand, how many to put down, what constitutes as a turn, and how to win most importantly. For all of those factors, it required that I carry a good deal of prudence in placing the cards down to own property. The gist of the game is that each person has five cards in their hand, where he or she can allocate property cards into smaller decks based on the color of the card, buy using the money cards, or make a deal using the deal breaker cards. For these different types of cards in mind, it makes sense as to how I got lost very quickly by the specification of each purpose that each card carried as well as the amount of power it has when played. A turn is made when someone makes two moves, or two cards used at a time. When someone has three full sets of property cards, they win the game, since this is a Monopoly after all. With one of my frustration with the game is the amount of luck that is meticulously placed when drawing the cards you need as well as knowing when to play them properly. With each player building their empire, it's understandable if you're not able to get the cards you need to build your sets of property due to how 'randomized' the cards are in the deck. For that reason, it stands for a fact why this particular Monopoly game happens to be a card game after all. One of my favorite moments is being able to stack up my sets of property swiftly in one move, however. I do repeat that this card game requires a great deal of strategy after all.

Perhaps that is the reason why these game mechanics exist after all, as well. To increase the amount of suspense when the player next to you can easily determine your fate in the economic rainforest of possibilities by simple or elaborate moves in a matter of seconds. With this amount of speed and thought, it brings another level of why this game is especially challenging and popular with college students looking for a thrill with cards.
