Logan and Connor have been obsessed with Monopoly for days.  They would request to play part of the game every day.  They have good a concept and strategies to win good money.  The two of them often play nice to each other; they will not charge full rent with each other, but certainly will to the parents.  Last weekend when Stuart and I were working in the yard, the two of them would resort to playing on their own.  They played quietly for a long time.  When we came back into the house, the boys were proud to show us that both had built hotels or houses in each of their lands, and they still each owned plenty of cash.  We imagined that they had turned the game into a cooperative one, and we were happy that they entertained themselves.  We were also now pleased that we have finally moved on to other games lately, like King of Tokyo and Private’s Cove.
