premise: While tropical storm Fey cut the power in my house earlier today , my family sat down to play a casual game of Monopoly , which is really rare . Anyhoo , after about the first 45 minutes , my dad conceded and my mom and sister combined , later to have my mom leave the ' team ' with my sister left in charge of the seat . The situation was essentially my brother nad I holding around $ 4,000 each , with my brother owning all the railroads and all but one utility , and I owned the ' slums ' ( the first stretch of the board ) . Why did my family play a casual game of Monopoly ?
hypothesis: Because they sat down .
