There was a lot of money, and an iron, at stake.

Not to worry, a good lawyer will prove the gun was just a game piece, and plea deal it down to his making a sizable contribution to The Community Chest, AFTER passing GO & collecting $200.

I thought this kind of thing only happens on Hollywood Squares, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy or Family Feud?

My family is very competitive and there were usually a lot of tears during a game of Monopoly however, my ex-husband's family was worse. We were all playing a game of Yahtzee one night and for some reason I threw three double sixes in a row. My ex-FIL said I was cheating and wanted to know where I'd gotten the loaded dice. That was my last Yahtzee game with them. One Thanksgiving my daughter brought a boyfriend over and a game of Yahtzee broke out. He told her later he never knew that Yahtzee was a contact game.

Do not let this guy near a Bingo hall when he gets older.

@nursecindy, no Monopoly or Yahtzee players in my family, but I was once threatened with bodily harm after a heated game of Pictionary because I'm a terrible artist. I haven't played it since.

I wanted to know if we were playing Monopoly after the Thanksgiving meal so I would know whether to include a prayer for absolution in the grace.
