I haven’t played monopoly since about 1996, but the house rules in your first point were how I was taught the game. Crazy how ingrained those mods are, and where tf did they come from!?
Well, the game was basically designed to show that rent as a concept is frustrating rich-get-richer bullshit. When people get frustrated, they try to tweak the system to make it less frustrating. Ultimately, it just delays the inevitable.
There was a spread of “Memes” or cultural context Pre-Intetnet. It traveled by mouth to mouth and sometimes via Television or Radio.
The legend that Maryiln Manson had one Rob removed to give himself BJs is one that comes to mind.
Or, different but also relevant, how kids call the place where they can’t be caught during a game of catch (I am no native speaker, so no idea if “catch” is the name of the game. You run after each other, once you touch another player they become the one to catch allothers). In my part of the woods you would agree on a (say, a tree) and couldn’t be cought while beeing in contact with it. We called is “House”.
Edit: It’s called Tag, as has been pointed out. Also corrected some spelling.
Only adding because you said you aren’t a native speaker and thought you might want to know:
It’s caught not cought
The referenced playground game is typically referred to as Tag as far as I am aware
We would always refer to your example of “house” as “home”, “base”, or “home base”
And I’m guessing “whole beeing” at the end was just a typo but in case it wasn’t, the correct use would be “while being”
Again, I’m not trying to critique anything, everything you wrote was perfectly understandable, especially with context, I just felt you might appreciate the information.
