The teams are selected, the game is set, and it's about time this competition started! Apologies to our readers who have been enjoying the occasional sauciness the comic dips into. This indeed will be a clothed affair. I'll have to see if I can get a nice treat for those who sign up with us on Patreon!

Controversial opinion, but I actually really hate the auction rule.
Auctions make up about 30-50% of the game when you use the rule, and they are painful to conduct. So the game becomes a slog instead of fun dice rolling.

Of course Lots of games I play are over-complicated messes (in the good way) so maybe I should re-evaluate, but I've played with auctions and my experience at the time was worse not better.

Hey I totes understand that. Hell I avoid the auction rule when I play with others too. That being said, I can also see how that totally gets Jamie's creative juices flowing XD

The only thing that gives me question about this is the idea that Jamie thinks Monopoly is a good game, haha (no shade, I see the justification, I just find it unbelievable because Monopoly is a capitalism simulator that requires almost no input beyond dice rolls and I'd have thought Jamie would like more complicated games than that - but I'm not his writer, so ultimately not my call to make!).
