micah was a great host. I would absolutely come again!
While many hosts get the mundane aspects of hosting correct, few get the finer details. By finer details, I am referring here, specifically, to Monopoly. Monopoly is the best game of all time. This is a well accepted fact. Unfortunately, many hosts stubbornly refuse to provide access to the game. (Perhaps they do not wish to take on the implied liability with their insurer.)
Micah hit it out of the park here. Within 5 minutes of us arriving at the space, we were able to locate the board. It only got better from there.
While there are many strategies/philosophies for Monopoly, our clan choses leverage. The risk|return curve is, of course, the crux of the game. In a crowded field, you have to make moves or get left behind. A balanced, considerate strategy is the key here. (That said, the hubris of the players can be disastrous.)
Our game followed a tried-and-true path. As our small metal pieces moved around the game board, our balance sheets grew. The winning strategy for this game was similar to others:secure early monopolies and bet smart. At the end of the day we all learned quite a bit about estate development. We also learned about ourselves.
Ultimately, I give Micah a 9.5/10 stars (the AirBnB 5-star system is antiquated). Micah loses marks for having the inferior, post millennia version (Mediterranean Avenue should always retail for $40).
