04/05 SPWAW Top Ten List

Post by Bernie »

Top Ten Reasons SPWAW is better than Monopoly:

  • #10 Our field artillery really works
  • #9 No little dog to piddle on your spit-shined jackboots
  • #8 Cars are targets
  • #7 You can sink a battleship with counter-battery fire
  • #6 Air strikes can level any hotel
  • #5 Satchel charges are better than "Get out of jail free" cards
  • #4 If the property you want is owned you can still take it
  • #3 You can ambush the competition
  • #2 Steel helmets instead of wimpy top hats
  • And the #1 reason SPWAW is better than Monopoly...
  • Tigers on the Boardwalk!

I enjoy doing them, but I have to give credit where credit is due... AbsntMndedProf posted the original list, I just took his idea and ran with it.

I'll try to do them weekly, possibly just adding them onto this thread instead of starting a new one each time, that is unless anyone at Matrix objects to the lists as being off-topic...

Sharing a space is no longer vaild due to the automatic overrun feature crushing your opponents.

"#4 If the property you want is owned you can still take it" That's my fave, and I enjoyed the list in general... now here's MY list!

10 - Roll dice? We're MEN, we press a BUTTON!
9 - Rather than paying a property tax, we just guard it w/ MG's on the perimeter
8 - Monopoly is a SOCIAL game, we KILL our opponents :)
8 - We don't worry about charging rent, we just CHARGE!
7 - When you run out of cash in Monopoly you have to sell your houses... We just call for reinforcements!
6 - People on horseback in SPWAW carry GUNS
5 - SPWAW has cooler sound effects
4 - People complain that Monopoly games can take long... we can spend over a month on a game and still wish for a few more turns!
3 - In Monopoly when you occupy the same space as your opponent, you sit side-by-side... in Panthers, it's called Alt-M or Alt-O!
2 - SPWAW does not have a beauty contest

And the #1 reason SPWAW is better than Monopoly...

1 - When you win Panthers, your not RICH, you're a HERO!
