Tuesday Teaser photo verification
I was feeling pretty rushed last night when I put together my Tuesday Teaser post for the week. A friend and I watched several hours of The Tudors, then sat and chatted for a while. Before I knew it it was midnight. I didn’t have a puzzle prepared and I was a little distracted by concerns that a late bedtime would make it difficult for me to keep a very early appointment this morning. I’d been toying with the idea of using something from my game collection for the puzzle, but I should have thought the idea through before staging my photo. Had I been more “on the ball” I might have selected something a little more obscure, or perhaps a less recognizable piece fo the game I chose. I’m thinking now that I didn’t give you much of a challenge, since almost all of you immediately recognized the Monopoly logo, lol!
Congratulations to Jennifer who once again beat you all to the punch. Y’all are going to have to start setting your alarms each Monday evening if you want to get a look at the puzzles before she solves them. Jennifer has won a review of her blog and an entry into the monthly drawing for a $10.00 gift card. Mahalo to all of you who played. I’m working on a little variation that I hope will put the challenge back into Tuesday Teasers, so make sure you come back next week to check it out!
Since there was a question raised as to which version of Monopoly I own, you get a bonus photo this week. It’s the Deluxe Edition, produced in 1995 to celebrate the 60th Anniversery of the classic Parker Brothers game. Sadly, mine has never been played. The golden tokens and wooden houses and hotels remain pristine in their little plastic bags, unspoiled by human hands. I bought it around the time my son moved to the mainland and have yet to find a worthy substitute for my favorite opponent.

Aha!!! You are a sly one, you are!
This was a fun game, though.
This was the first Tuesday Teaser I participated in. I think I like them!

I wasn’t trying to be slick, Mrs. Mecomber - promise! It didn’t occur to me to even think about the Monopoly version until I saw your original comment, lol! Once you brought it up I thought it might be a good thing for me to show you all which version was used for the original photo.
