Wow! How quickly did this week roll around? It feels like hardly any time has passed since I last sat down to post up a puzzle image for Mother's Day (and it was only last week!)

But it is indeed that time again, and so I have selected a new puzzle image for today- Monopoly.

I have no real reason for choosing this one today- besides the fact it's been in my photo pile for quite a while- so I thought I'd get it out there regardless. The weather is lousy outside today and I don't know about you, but that always makes me want to cosy up and do something like a games night... and no games night is complete without a few rounds of monopoly! 

The above puzzle wasn't too hard to do when you sorted the pieces by section on the gameboard- I enjoyed putting this one together. The pieces fit together nicely and I didn't have any problems with the quality. 

Do you enjoy game nights with family and friends? Or would you just prefer to cosy up with a puzzle or good book instead?

The Monopoly board game has such a, well, monopoly I guess, over the gaming world. There are so many different versions- covering music, pop culture, and even cities.

Now they have a few variations in jigsaw puzzle format. 

I have the original Monopoly jigsaw puzzle, which I plan on doing soon but I also have the above one, which was released as a fundraiser for struggling Australian communities. In it, the towns names have been changed to some of those affected and in need of aid (although I'm not sure if it was because of fires, floods or some other disaster which has befallen the towns- I really should read what it says on the box!)

This puzzle was quite different, in that the piece shapes followed a certain format. They were longer and narrow, and followed a pattern as you assembled the pattern. That said, it was quite quick to complete, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
