For Smile on Saturday 'Tabletop Game Components' theme. Have a good weekend you wonderful folks out there.

Дубай, центр города, дневное время.

Каменный джунгли........на улице пешеходов можно по пальцам посчитать. Дороги широкие, перекрёстки есть такие сложные, что по 5 мин ждёшь зелёного света. Но несмотря на то, что дорога практически пуста, 5 пешеходов запаслись терпением и смиренно ждут зелёного. А почему??? Уже можно было 10 раз перебежать....... Ответ простой- ФТРАФ!!!!

Огромные штрафы за любое нарушение, сделали всех граждан законопослушными!

Stone jungle ........ on the street there are almost no pedestrians. The roads are wide, intersections are so complex that you wait for 5 minutes of green light. But despite the fact that the road is almost empty, 5 pedestrians wait patiently for green light.

...and you can forget about collecting that money.

Full size top hat game piece on a miniature Monopoly board.

So I heard on the radio that today in the US happens to be National Play Monopoly Day in recognition of this iconic board game.

The place to go to play boardgames!

Old school games

Zany and bonkers!

Pawns.

I have this theory that totally blurred pictures are a much underrated genre of photography. Like all theories it needs extensive testing :)

So far so good. I am less convinced about the peer review though...

Another one from the set last Saturday, deliberately unfocused (honestly... I worked out how to change it to manual focus. Eventually... :) ).

The real question, of course, is is this a picture of pawns, or is it a picture of the light around pawns? Answers on a postcard (preferably with a sizeable cheque attached, but I'm not fussy - any sized cheque is good...).

For the Thursday Monochrome group and for my 100x Monochrome and Toned.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Thursday Monochrome, and also MBT :)

Searching the shelves in our basement laundry/storage room, I came upon a little box of plastic, multicolored board game pegs. The game board that they belonged to was nowhere in site. Still, I instantly recognized them as pieces from a board game. While my wife and I both had vague recollections of playing a game with these pieces, neither of us could immediately dredge up the name of the game. Fortunately, with the help of a little internet sleuthing, we were finally able to pin it down to MASTERMIND.

We did need to read instructions more than once.

After the first run through it was much easier and quicker :-)
