1. Monopoly.

Buying cities and building houses and hotels over it is amazing fun. While it is supposed to be an entertaining game, it really reflects the craving of getting ahead of everyone by collecting maximum possible money, assets and beyond. As the number of players append, the fun increments. The race becomes more crucial and the competition all the more cut-throat.

There are several defined rules and several customized rules like making partners, taking loan from bank / participants, paying interests, selling the assets, etc – all with an intent of survival.

The game is gonna last for not more than few hours for sure but the excitement / agony / frustration / ecstasy dwells till the end and all the participants who were competitors take their original role by resuming as friends / relatives.

I have always loved to play monopoly. I am relentlessly playing it. One day it will end.
