The Anticipation Builds...

Tonight I will be playing for this:

We're starting a new family tradition. A championship game of Monopoly to be played each new year. The winner gets to keep the trophy for a year. I played Isabelle last week as a practice game. It was really tight, but I was weak. I showed mercy and it came back to haunt me. However, the real confidence-shaker was my game with Tanker last weekend. I got greedy with property, even mortgaging to buy more and more until I was spread so thin that I had nothing left to build with. It was probably one of the shortest games I've ever played.

But I've learned from my mistakes, and I will come back tomorrow the Armstrong Family Monopoly Champion!
