 Hi everyone, this is Gio. Welcome to my channel and welcome to a quick little short video as an introduction for the next 17 videos are going to be loaded on YouTube and the next 17 videos are basically the live stream Monopoly marathon games that we had back in 2018 in this space where our sort of gaming group got together here and we ended up doing two days of playing Monopoly are variant rules that we've talked about right and What we ended up doing was basically live stream the game with a sort of a top view of the board as well as a couple of other views where you can see us sort of the players and How the dealing takes place and stuff like that So there's already three videos available on YouTube all these live streams have been loaded on pitch shoot back in 2018 but the three videos that are available on YouTube are Sort of me letting you know that we do play Monopoly with our gaming group and we do have a variant rule So I sort of talked about with that initial video How we go about playing the game and then we put out a video sort of a top view Showing you the mathematics of the game right because a lot of people have asked me what the best way it is to teach mathematics to kids that are growing up sprite and my reply has basically always been One of the things that I say anyway one of the best ways to learn mathematics to apply mathematics in the real world is to play Games board games specifically right console games computer games and stuff are legit as well But board games are sort of a hands-on way to learn mathematics and Monopoly is a phenomenal way to do it right and sort of that second video we sort of goes through Sort of the mathematics of how to do the calculations and what the dealing involves and whatnot right and the third video you put out for a Monopoly playlist was sort of Me giving you a sort of an introduction just the way I am now and at the end of that video I sort of cut out a few minutes of each of the live streams and put them back to back so you can see a condensed version of how to Game play takes place during those live streams But to get a real feel for it is a it's a good idea to watch the each game from beginning all the way to the end Right and these are rapid Monopoly games that we play we deal out the cars We do a little calculation and as soon as one person the you know as soon as a player can Passes go they're able to build on the sets that they have right But for the details of that you can look at the previous three videos that we have and they're in our Monopoly playlist Okay, and the reason I'm uploading these to YouTube now is because we are sort of Huge chunk of the world is sort of in lockdown mode. There's a pandemic going through Many countries right now right so people are keeping a sort of a physical distance and Everybody's at home and if you're used to playing board games getting together with your board gaming group and stuff like that That's one of the things you must be missing because that is one thing that Me and the rest of our gaming group we've been talking a little bit and we're trying to get a game going online But it's not the same thing when you sit around the board and you You're close proximity to each other and you're talking you're discussing you're arguing you're debating You're you're trying to psych each other out and bluff each other out and whatnot. There's a sort of a Dynamics when there's a whole bunch of people sitting around a table with a central focal point being the board and Everybody's focus is on on the board and how the game is going to be played and you're Keeping close tabs and all the other players. It's it's a beautiful state of being right So that is something that we are missing and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of gamers out there Board gamers out there that you know what I'm talking about, right? So I thought it was a good idea just to load up these videos to YouTube and share those live streams that we had back in 2018 with you just in case you're missing that that action, right? Hopefully this will satisfy That craving even even by the slightest right because I ended up watching a little bit of it And it was just so satisfactory and I thought you guys would enjoy it as well Okay, aside from that we do have the rules for this variant game that we play this rapid monopoly game that we play On our website the three videos are up on YouTube and bit shoot the live streams that we're loading on YouTube right now They are available on bit shoot already, but there is a Link and there will be links in the description of this video taking you to the article where we talk about the rules And we have the tables laid out of how much money each person gets and what gets dealt out Delta and whatnot and all that jazz right and the videos will be archived in that blog post as well if you're interested in taking a look and Figuring out how these variant rules play and when you're able to get together with your gaming group I hope you give it a you give it a go that is a phenomenal game And it's a lot of fun to play Aside from that for the next couple of days two three four days, maybe I'll be loading up these Livestream games Every few hours and I'll be premiering them and for some of them I'll try try to be available in the live chat as well.
