I mentioned that infamous game of Lord of the Rings Risk many times in my lamentations…

fl,

Ironically, the second-such “anyone but tdaxp” game featured by vociferous (but ignored) claims that moneylending was explicitly forbidden by the Monopoly rulebook!

It's not as important that someone wins, just that tdaxp loses. I remember a similar situation with a game of Risk at one point in Aarons basement.

I agree. The approach of "lunch" was a complicating factor, but sadly, my Monopoly's deafness to the hopes & dreams of the other tycoons doomed its sruggle for rapid victory... Eddie,

Deichmans,

Excellent comment. I agree.

The approach of “lunch” was a complicating factor, but sadly, my Monopoly’s deafness to the hopes & dreams of the other tycoons doomed its sruggle for rapid victory…

Perhaps if you had slowly increased your potential revenue streams at your monopolistic corner (rather than exceeding your 3-RR "$100 rent" by more than 300%) you would not have forced the sectarian factions to unite against you. It would also have been worthwhile to employ a "Human Terrain Team" that could have advised you of the risks in that "Purple Triangle". By compounding the risks already associated with that corner, you encouraged your opponents to join forces. :-) You peaked too soon.
