Here we go again! Synapsis of Turn #7 ------------------- Tom rolled [6][1] and landed on Ventnor Avenue. He already owned it. Wayne rolled [5][5] and landed on New York Avenue. It was unowned, so he bought it. He then rolled [6][3] and landed on Waterworks. It, too, was unowned, so he boughht that. Bill rolled [5][3] and landed on Chance I, passing GO! He received $200, but lost $15 of it by paying poor tax, as the Chance card told him to. Evan rolled [3][2] and landed on Community Chest II. His card read, "Income Tax Refund - Collect $20". Unrealistically, he received the refund immmediately. Turn #8 ------- Wayne rolls [5][4] and lands on Park Place. It is unowned, so he buys it. (Now Wayne and Bill get to duke it out for the honor of a monopoly in deep blue). Bill, after cursing Wayne's roll, rolls [5][2] and lands on Virginia Avenue. It is unowned, so he buys it. That gives him two properties in the violet color group, while Tom owns the third one. Evan rolls [2][2] and lands on Kentucky Avenue. It is unowned, so he buys it. He then rolls another [2][2] and lands on B&O RR. He pays Wayne the $25 rent. Then, praying he stays out of jail, he rolls [6][2] (lucky devil, his prayers were answered). This puts him on Community Chest III (he does love those Chest spaces, doesn't he?). His card reads, "Life Insurance Matures - Collect $100." Tom rolls [2][1] and lands on "Go to Jail." After a failed appeal, he finishes his turn in the clink. Well, that's it. Will Bill make a deal with Wayne or Tom for a monopoly? Will Evan stay out of jail? Will Tom stay in jail? For these answers and more, stay tuned! Same bat-time, same bat-channel! Robert Ace Ekblaw, the Honorary Judge and Jury. P.S.
