[iPhone] Monopoly, $4.99
Yup, $4.99. I stalled on buying Monopoly for so long because I’m a cheapskate when it comes to iPhone apps and for $4.99, it had better empty the dishwasher for me. Overall, it’s been pretty good. It’s just like the board game, but it goes much faster since you tap the screen to do just about everything and don’t have to count out paper bills by hand or fetch the dice out from under the couch. In fact, you shake your iPhone to roll the dice, and that’s the one feature I’m not thrilled about, since I get my playing time in while I’m nursing Spice down and even a flick of the wrist once in a while risks waking her up. It’s taken me a while to get used to the new properties and their inflated prices (c’mon, Montreal as the most expensive city?!), but I’m adjusting. Still, good old-fashioned fun all around.
