This is my thread!

This is weird because it doesn't look like anyone has posted but it's in recent posts.

Anyway, we set up 2 boards, with pieces and dice and houses and hotels on both sides, but only put the cards on the "home" board.

Kid in hospital and parent with them have a white board where we keep track of money, and properties. We just add and subtract on the board, although I guess we could have money. If someone moves on one side, they just tell the other side and they move the equivalent piece. If they land on chance, or community chest, the person at home just reads the card to them.

We could probably sort out how to play with just one board, but Child Life had one, and there was one at home so we didn't bother.

Kid is home now, and we still play the same way with cousins. Cousins are younger, so we let them have the cards and the actual paper money and our house plays like it's the hospital.


I think people are looking into how to play games while social distancing.

Glad your kid is okay.


I understand why this thread would be useful now. I'm just not sure why it was in recent posts, when the last post was in March. If someone had dug it up and responded that would make sense to me.



It is March! Someone did dig it up and responded just before your post.


OMG you are right! It just feels like we've been locked up for months! I am an idiot, a very very sleep deprived idiot.
