In that chronological order.

I have a lot of good Monopoly memories. My two sisters and I, plus two older boys who were the sons of the woman who looked after us after school played it at least once a week. We had the Free Parking Jackpot rule and they had extra Monopoly money from somewhere because the Jackpot used to be stacked up very high. Basically whoever won the Jackpot used to win the game. My two sisters and I never won one game. We talked about it years later and came to the conclusion that the two older boys cheated because they seemed to land on Free Parking a lot more than we did (we were young kids and probably easily fooled).


 That's an amusing anecdote. My memories are fighting for who got to be banker (because that person usually won) and what tokens each person used (top hat and race car being most popular). We did not have a Free Parking house rule. I forgot the other game I played a lot, D&D. Most of my friends in high school started playing it when the AD&D rules came out.
