Monopoly Deal

2014 | Card Game

7.0

Tabletop Game Rating

The game is small and travel friendly. It allows you to play multiple games as it does not take as long as the original monopoly game boards. It is very different from the actuall monopoly game but I would personally say just as enjoyable. (0 more)

This game is a card version of monopoly which is very useful for being on the go. The game only contains card's no board or playing piece's. The main goal of this game is to complete 3 full property set's the fastest. This is a game which is family friendly and allows lots of people to play and can be a quick game so no one will get too bored. This game I would recommend for those that are travelling and want some fun to pass the time . I would also recommend it to the people who don't necessarily want to commit to an overly long game which you tend to find happening during the original monopoly games.

Okay, I really wanted to love this book. Who wouldn't love a book that tells you that you're a badass in the title? Obviously, this girl didn't.

Now, I'm not saying that this book was awful but I'm not going to say that it was glorious and wonderful. The advice in here is good advice but it's nothing different than your stereotypical self help book.

Advice includes: Love yourself, send positive vibes to the universe, believe in yourself (now you really don't need to read the book).

Honestly, I was hoping that this book would help me in some way and I do know various people that this book could truly help but I was not one of those people. I did not get any epiphany moments except for the Blah Blah would love this part, and So and So would like this part.

Ultimately, I'm not a huge fan but it does have some good advice in a semi-sarcastic way.

"From the ground, we stand. From our ships, we live. By the stars, we hope..."

The lives of five people and their friends and family are followed on board one of the ships of the Exodus fleet. These are the descendants of those who escaped a dying Earth, not knowing if what they were doing would result in their deaths anyway. It didn't.
I loved reading about these people: they illustrated the different kinds of lives they had, and how they were regarded in the wider universe.
Becky Chambers books are so descriptive without being boring: I felt as though I was walking the corridors and sitting in the 'hexes' with the families. All three of these Wayfarers novels have had that personal feel to them, and this is something that has really appealed to me and kept me coming back for more. I can't wait to see where Chambers goes next. Whether she continues with the Wayfarers or not, I'll definitely read them!

Outstanding cast and dialogue

I won't belabour this review, I have nothing new to say that isn't already in these reviews.
The dialogue in this film from start to finish is top notch. The jokes, the put-downs, the nastiness, the crass-ness is all on-point and perfect.
While I hate a film not having an ending, it seemed to fit this film. It really was some people trying to get by and work out how they deal with the hand life deals them and not really moving on. The film tells of the journey of those people, and not where they end up.
The subject matter is very grim, as are some of the events in the film, but it is told with enough realism and so wonderfully acted as to give it all the gravitas it needs, but also to cut through that at times with dark humour.
A brilliant film.
