Welcome to blog that changes a game mechanic in an already existing game!

So for this blog I have chosen to change a game rule in the classic Monopoly. This rule change will be affecting the game mechanics. This game mechanic is based on luck so it will not break the game unless someone is really lucky or unlucky.

The rule I have added is if you roll a 7 you move in the opposite direction you were initially going before rolling the 7.

The way how this will change the game is that players will have more chances to get a property or specific tile they want in the game. This will speed up the game as well since there are more chances to also land on someone else's property.

There have been many times in my games of Monopoly I wished I could go back the other way and try to complete my set or even collect go just one more time. I can see this mechanic being over powered if the player managed to bounce back and forth over the 'GO' tile constantly collecting $200. This is highly unlikely since getting 7 several times in a row would be highly improbable. I think this mechanic will really increase the fun that Monopoly already brings to the dinner table.
