Education for This Era

Why This Book Is For You

while back, I was spending a long weekend in the Hamptons with some friends-a cute little couples getaway, one of those day-drinking, sunbathing, very chill kind of mini vacations. One afternoon, before heading to the beach, we swung by the local CVS to pick up some snacks, and on the way out my girlfriend stopped dead in her tracks.

"Oh my God," she said. "I have to have that."

It was a Monopoly game. Not just any Monopoly game, but a Hamptons-themed Monopoly game.

Not gonna lie, I definitely rolled my eyes as I took our M&M's and gummy bears to the self-checkout. But Lauren was so excited, and inevitably her enthusiasm rubbed off on me. If my bestie was so excited about this novelty tourist trap of a board game, then who was I to rain on her parade?

By the time we got back to the car, Lauren had sold me on game night and we were fully stoked. We were ready to play this game. We slid back into our seats, handing out the goods, and when Adam, Lauren's boyfriend, asked what we were so amped about, I told him, "Oh, Lauren just bought this cheesy Hamptons Monopoly game for us to play tonight."

No response. It was like the summer air had gone chilly all of a sudden. And then, from the front seat, Adam turned around. Not smiling. Super intense.

And he said, "You guys do not want to play Monopoly with me."

Naturally, we were like, "Uh . . . why not?"

Another pause.

"Because," he said. "There's a secret. Most people have never actually read the full instruction brochure for Monopoly. But I have. And when I play the way I know how to play, there's no way I lose."

"So what's the big secret?!" I asked.

But he just shook his head. Wouldn't tell us. Lauren and I brushed off the conversation and headed out to the beach.

Later that night, we broke out Hamptons Monopoly. It was corny, with little lighthouses and windmills all over, but the wine was flowing and we were fully invested. After we each picked our little pieces and divvied up our fake money, we rolled the dice.

Adam proceeded to dominate.

Personally, I think I'm okay at Monopoly, like above average to actually decent, but I never stood a chance. This was a bloodbath. Tensions ran rea…
