how/ where?

I managed what I asssume was a JP on Monopoly deluxe yesterday- basically there were no cash amounts at all on the ladder but got the points needed to get the £19 cashpot and a £4 spot prize on the way for a £23 total. Think I ened up with about 8640 points in total.

Agree with all of NS' comments on Crazy Golf. Having spent an afternoon with a mate mastering all the shots on the original one so that for any given course you knew the optimum place/power for the tee shot this was a nice little earner. Typically on a virgin/unspoilt machine the end game would be a...
