It's time for me to discuss another site I love! I'm fairly new to it--I've only done one campaign so far, but it's been love at first sight!
BzzAgent has you fill out surveys and chooses a campaign for you to apply for based on your answers. The campaign I got was My Monopoly. Anyone who knows me will tell you that's the perfect pick for me! I've collected Monopoly games for quite a few years. The idea of making my own Monopoly game thrilled me. I actually attempted to make my own once when I was a teen with a few of my friends on a camping trip. We called it "hansonopoly" and based it off the the band Hanson, who we all adored. (side note: the band ended up releasing their own monopoly game with the same name years later!) While I waited for the game to ship, I thought of all the different games I could make. it took me longer to think of an idea than to actually make the game. I finally settled on a traveling game of sorts. Half the board is fun places I've been to, and the other half is fun events (based on bands/actors) I've traveled to see. The game came with everything you needed, from the cards, tokens, sticker sheets, ect. You have to make an account on the
my Monopoly website to upload your photos and caption them. You can personalize properties, chance/community chest cards, and tokens. It was super easy to use and print. The only issue I ended up having with my game was when the stickers printed, some of them didn't line up correctly and it cut part of the photo off. For some, it didn't matter, but for others it cut heads off! It was an easy fix-I just carefully peeled off the sticker scrap and lined it up (photo below). My oldest helped me put stickers on and set up the game board. Over all, it was a fun experience, and at a price point of around $15 (walmart) it is well worth the price.
