Board Games

Remember once that the word games means physical activities? It is either spent outdoors or indoors but it always involve physical exertion such as running, climbing, jumping and etc. Not like today where the term game means sitting in front of the telly with hands permanently glued to the controller of a video game console.

Bought a Malaysian Edition Monopoly for the boy last weekend. Ever since that he'd been bugging me on playing it with him. So far, we had one quick game and another extended game, in which he manages to procure the most prime location of real estate and actually built houses on it. The intention us buying the game was actually to teach him the concept of money but the way he's playing the game is like a duck to water. While the adults are busy buying all the plots that we landed on, he coolly waited until he could get a suitable plot and develop it. And in those prime areas, the return are so much better, hence he's raking it in. Could he be the next Trump in the making?
