Reacting to Mr. Beast video spending 1,000,000 dollars in 24 hours

I stumbled upon this youtube video by Mr. Beast that was a person having won 1 million dollars and spending it in 24 hours.  Check out the video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs0SWXbty18&feature=youtu.be

Well the video had me thinking how I would spend the money. I am going to make the assumption that one of the requirements is that you have to spend a majority of it on what is considered good content meaning I can't just buy Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla stock or a broad market index fund. So investing most of the $510,000 in the stock market is out. (That is the amount after taxes that I am going with) Well that being said I would max out my 401k and Roth IRA. In 2019 that would be a little less than $10,000 so let's round up for simplicity sake and have half a million left to spend. 

Risk : Adding drinking to classic board game series

Sorry for missing last week but I has in Nashville over the weekend and it was Thanksgiving on Thursday so I took a week off from the series. Back at it again and this week we are taking on a true classic that ends friendships. Risk.

I am assuming everyone plays world domination and not the complete the mission cards, not that the rules for the most part couldn't be applied to that version. Now to the good part:

Mission Bbq for some after Thanksgiving lunch

Went to Mission BBQ for some post Turkey day lunch. Here is the review. Starting with the Brisket. I got it moist, which is my preferred way to eat it. Little more fat and just adds extra flavor. Here, the brisket is well cooked, good flavor, bark is a bit lacking but the meat flavor is good. One of my favorite things about Mission BBQ is the different types of sauces they have. 6 on the table and a white sauce in the back if you ask. With the brisket I went with the Memphis belle and KC Classic. Normally I would give a description but the 6 table sauces cover the whole spread and the description on the bottle holders do a great job. There is a sauce for everyone here.

Nashville and the 100 layer doughnut

Going down to Nashville to see a friend of mine. That friend happens to be a doughnut at 5 daughters bakery. Also made some stops at Hattie B's, Peg Leg Porker, and Edlys. Jump on in and see how it compares to the other food vacations, but first some pictures of the city and that doughnut. 

Titans jaguars game at sunset. This might be the best non food picture I have ever taken 

Leaving the stadium. Don't worry there will be more skyline!

Drinking and Gaming: Ticket to Ride edition

First I have to start with I love this game mainly because it a game that basically all my friends enjoy. I think it is the combination of simple game mechanics, travel themed and most of them like trains, so it is concept they can really get behind even without the inclusion of drinking.

Speeding up Monopoly with a few drinks

Well this one is going to be easy. First read the rules. The actual rules not the made up house rules. Now every time some one suggest putting money on free parking take a drink. Every time someone says are you sure you don't put money on free parking check the rules, take two drinks. When ever says this is not the rules I play take 3 drinks. Any other adoption of house rules take a drink.

Game ends either when a player passes out from intoxication or when the rules say the game would end, once 1 player runs out of money.

Well this one was easy.

What were you expecting more. Okay, fine for the people that actual know the rules:

Adding alcohol to classic board games: Settlers of Catan

New series for all my readers. Now it is my belief that you can enjoy a nice beverage while you play a board game or not it not going to impact the enjoyment of the game itself. Unfortunately, I have some friends (Editor's note: the term friends is being used very loosely) that basically refuse to do anything in a group that does not involve to much alcohol, additionally I think that they believe board games are childish, which is completely wrong but they are allowed their opinions.

So in order to try and find a compromise, I am going to attempt to come up with some rules to board games to incorporate drinking so those friends can escape their lives.

First game up in the series is Settlers of Catan.
