Two men were taken to the hospital after a game of Monopoly morphed into a sword fight. It’s just the latest reminder of how quickly Monopoly can escalate from good-natured family fun to someone busting out their samurai sword.

Monopoly games can get testy. You start cutting some side deals then some feelings are hurt, names are called, and things get loud.
Them: “The perfect leadoff for today’s newsfeed doesn’t exist.”
