A Giant Monopoly Board Was Found While Renovating The House

The stories of finding treasures in the house hidden by the original homeowners are quite common. But the story of the monopoly board painted on the floor is rather new. The incident was shared by a man whose in-laws just shifted to the new house. While renovating the house, they removed the carpet and found a big monopoly board.

The monopoly board was highly detailed and it seemed like someone had painted it on the floor. It has a jail, Park palace, the boardwalk, and other places related to the original board. It showed a resemblance to the Parker Brothers game, which is now known as the Hasbro game. It seemed like the original owners of the house were the big fans of board games.

Nonetheless, people were amazed by seeing a picture of the huge monopoly board. They could never imagine that board game fans can make something like this. However, one of the users who saw the post commented that it was very common in America in the mid-century. The original homeowners might not be a big fan of the monopoly board game. It might be there in their house because hand-painting board games on the basement floor was a part of making houses in the 50s. It was considered a good selling point for the house.

Whatever be the reason behind painting this board on the floor, in today’s world it is unique as well as antique. The user who posted the story on the internet tried to convince his in-laws to let the board game be intact in the same place. The point he made to his in-laws was that its presence would add uniqueness to the house as there are not many houses available in America that still have a board game on their basement floor.

The user gave an idea that the in-laws could add a layer of epoxy over the monopoly board to keep its paint intact. They could then design the rest of the floor as per their wish. It would make their house look different from all the other houses. However, the in-laws were not a fan of board games and they wanted to change the whole floor and design it as they wanted to design originally. Let’s just hope that the one who posted the story would succeed in convincing his in-laws.

If painting board games was really a fashion in the mid-50s, then there can be houses existing in the world that have other board games painted on their basement floor. No wonder, anyone could find Candyland and The Game of Life printed on the floor. It must be exciting to live in a house where you can play games on such a large board. It would give a different experience of playing board games altogether.
