This a game called Chess. You've probably heard of of it but you may not know how its played. the object of the game is to capture your enemy's king by using all of the pieces you have been given.
Monopoly is one of my favorite games because it very competitive. it is a strategy game where you try to establish properties around the board and you attempt to bankrupt your opponents. It one of the few games i can play with my friends and not get bored and walk away.
