Monopoly
Este Monopolyo es en parte único como pueden ver, fue hecho en la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, es decir en mi país natal, por lo cual dicho tablero contiene ciertas avenidas icónicas de la Gran Ciudad de Caracas y por si eso fuera poco tiene un llamativo eslogan que dice "El Juego de la Reconversión Monetaria" haciendo en parte referencia a los distintos cambios que sufrió el Cono monetario durante ese periodo de tiempo.
Mi mente viaja al año 2009 cuando toda mi familia estaba junta en el mismo País, no como hoy en día que está dispersa en los diferentes países hermanos, recuerdo que para esa temporada decembrina compramos este especial juego que consta de 6 jugadores, compuestos en mi familia por primos y tíos, donde el principal objetivo era arruinar al otro y volverse la persona más adinerada del juego, comprando avenidas, casas, hoteles, estaciones de ferrocarril y las empresas de servicio icónicas del Venezuela (Servicio de Luz - Corpoelec) (Servicio de Agua - HidrocCapital).
This Monopolyo is partly unique as you can see, it was made in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, that is, in my native country, for which the board contains certain iconic avenues of the Greater City of Caracas and as if that were not enough it has a striking slogan that says "The Game of Monetary Reconversion" making reference in part to the different changes that the monetary Cone underwent during that period of time.
My mind travels to the year 2009 when my whole family was together in the same country, not like today that is scattered in different sister countries, I remember that for that holiday season we bought this special game that consists of 6 players, composed in my family by cousins and uncles, where the main objective was to ruin the other and become the richest person in the game, buying avenues, houses, hotels, railway stations and the iconic service companies of Venezuela (Servicio de Luz - Corpoelec) (Servicio of Water - HidrocCapital).
Para poder ganar dependíamos de la suerte del dado, todos comenzábamos la partida con un monto de Bs 150.000. Yo en particular soy bastante supersticiosa, asi que soplaba el dado con la intención de pedir a los dioses que en la primera ronda me saliera un “3”, para comprar el título de propiedad de Sabana Grande, ya que este se encontraba en la 3ra casilla a partir del punto de partida. Dicho titulo tiene un valor de casilla equivalente a Bs 15.000 y asi luego poder comprar mi primera casa por un costo de Bs. 7.000.
Así solia seguir hasta tener el título de propiedad de todas las casilla de color verde, por otro lado uno de mis tíos tenía tal suerte que justamente los dados daban en el número exacto para caer y comprar las estaciones de Ferrocarril, las de Puerto Cabello, Caracas-Valencia, De Occidente y Venezuela eran las mejores.
Mi madre iba por los títulos de propiedad color azul oscuro, ya que se encontraban ciertas avenidas icónicas cómo la Avenida Bolívar, donde una sola casa tenía el valor de Bs 10.000, es decir si caías en esa casilla debías pagarle más. Y asi, jugando con los billetes y monedas en mano negociamos casas y hoteles, nos sentíamos los mejores agentes inmobiliarios del planeta, comprar propiedades y llenarlas de casas y edificios se volvia adictivo y brindaba muchas horas de diversión intentando ganar.
In order to win we depended on the luck of the dice, we all started the game with an amount of Bs 150,000. I in particular am quite superstitious, so I blew the dice with the intention of asking the gods that in the first round I would get a "3", to buy the property title of Sabana Grande, since it was in the 3rd box from the starting point. Said title has a box value equivalent to Bs 15,000 and thus later to be able to buy my first house for a cost of Bs. 7,000.
This is how I used to continue until I had the title deed to all the green boxes, on the other hand one of my uncles was so lucky that precisely the dice gave the exact number to fall and buy the railway stations, those of Puerto Cabello, Caracas-Valencia, De Occidente and Venezuela were the best.
My mother went for the dark blue property titles, since there were certain iconic avenues like Avenida Bolívar, where a single house had the value of Bs 10,000, that is, if you fell into that box you had to pay more. And so, playing with bills and coins in hand, we negotiated houses and hotels, we felt like the best real estate agents on the planet, buying properties and filling them with houses and buildings became addictive and provided many hours of fun trying to win.
Otro de los recuerdos que tengo de mi infancia y por el cual siento alegría al recordarlo, es el hecho de jugar con pistolas de agua junto a mi hermano, cuando íbamos a la piscina jugábamos a ser ladrón y policía, tanto él como yo nos divertíamos disparándonos y mojando nuestra ropa, lo que era bastante absurdo en retrospectiva, porque de igual forma terminábamos metidos en la piscina.
Another of the memories I have from my childhood and for which I feel joy in remembering it, is the fact of playing with water pistols with my brother, when we went to the pool we played at being a thief and a policeman, both he and I we had fun shooting ourselves and getting our clothes wet, which was pretty absurd in hindsight, because we ended up in the pool anyway.
El campo de juego era el patio que rodeaba la piscina, teníamos dos cubos de agua para cada uno, como pueden ver en la foto anterior, una pistola de agua se recarga llenando de agua por completo el envase que trae roscado en la parte de atrás. Yo tenía la pistola rosa que verán en las fotos de abajo, la más hermosa. Esta se recargaba hundiendo la pistola completamente en el agua, es decir la estructura de la pistola hacia el papel de ser el propio cargador.
The playing field was the patio that surrounded the pool, we had two buckets of water for each one, as you can see in the previous photo, a water pistol is recharged by completely filling the container with water that is threaded on the back. . I had the pink gun that you will see in the photos below, the most beautiful. This was reloaded by sinking the pistol completely in the water, that is, the structure of the pistol towards the role of being the charger itself.
Era una competencia, hermano contra hermana, quien mojaba la ropa de quien. Corríamos por el patio disparando a paredes, mesas, sillas y una que otra vez a nuestros padres, que hacían el papel de peatones inocentes. En ocasiones nos caigamos en la tierra, cosa que aprovechábamos para hacer la interpretación de matarnos y morir. Si, también hacíamos una pequeña actuación que la veía toda la familia, luego de reírse hasta no poder más, nos mandaban a bañar y a limpiar el desastre que habíamos causado. Daños colaterales.
It was a competition, brother against sister, who wet whose clothes. We ran through the yard shooting at walls, tables, chairs and once in a while at our parents, who played the role of innocent pedestrians. Sometimes we fall to the ground, which we used to interpret to kill ourselves and die. Yes, we also did a small performance that the whole family saw, after laughing until we could no longer, they sent us to bathe and clean up the mess we had caused. Collateral damage.
En la investigacion descubrí que esto es una variedad del clasico Yo-Yo, la forma de utilizar este juguete o variedad de Yo-Yo en especifico era agarrando con la mano el mango y luego realizar movimientos ascendentes y descendentes de muñeca, con ese movimiento por efecto de gravedad, velocidad y fuerza aplicada las pelotas lograban colisionar entre si. Visualmente era divertido el movimiento, sin mencionar el sonido que se generaba producto del choque de las esferas, las risas venían cuando no mantenías el movimiento constante de muñeca y te golpeaba en el pulgar o en alguna parte de la muñeca, "lo divertido".
In the investigation I discovered that this is a variety of the classic Yo-Yo, the way to use this toy or variety of Yo-Yo in particular was by grasping the handle with the hand and then making up and down movements of the wrist, with that movement for effect of gravity, speed and applied force the balls managed to collide with each other. Visually the movement was fun, not to mention the sound that was generated as a result of the collision of the spheres, the laughter came when you did not maintain the constant movement of the wrist and it hit you on the thumb or some part of the wrist, "the fun thing".
Por otro lado el Yoyo clasico consiste en dos discos inicialmente de madera unidos enre si, al cual se le acopla un cordón enrollado alrededor de un eje central, la manera de jugarlo es colocar en el dedo índice o medio el cordón como una especie de anillo, enrollar el cordón totalmente en el eje central del Yoyo y a cierta distancia del piso soltarlo, es de los juguetes más adictivos ya que era fascinante ver como los dos discos giraban en el aire y se devolvía a tu mano. Fue tan popular que de un momento a otro los veías en ciertas propagandas de televisión, incluso la Coca-Cola tenia un Yoyo.
Gracias a internet puedo ver como distintos grupos de personas se organizan y realizan campeonatos de Yoyo, donde se muestras las diferentes técnicas y figuras que se pueden realizar con este clasico juguete.
.
Este ultimo modelo es una adaptación para niños ya que a pesar de ser un juguete, el Yoyo tiene sus origenes como arma de caza y aunque no lo parezca puede llegar a ser bastante peligroso y mas para un niño. No obstante, al utilizar como imagen principal un erizo conjuntamente con colores vibrantes llaman la atención de todo niño, es más amigable con los pequeños ya que esta hecho de una goma elástica. Recuerdo que solia pasear por el parque con mi hermano, era muy divertido ya que solíamos hacer un estilo de competencia para ver cual era el erizo más elástico, yo solía tener el de color verde fosforescente y mi hermano el amarillo, eran muy suaves y unos venían con luces incluidas que lo hacían brillar en la noche, así enfrentábamos a la oscuridad y los monstruos debajo de la cama.
.
On the other hand, the classic Yoyo consists of two wooden discs initially joined together, to which a cord wound around a central axis is attached, the way to play it is to place the cord on the index or middle finger as a kind of ring Rolling the cord fully around the central axis of the Yoyo and releasing it at a certain distance from the floor is one of the most addictive toys since it was fascinating to see how the two discs rotated in the air and returned to your hand. It was so popular that from one moment to the next you would see them in certain television commercials, even Coca-Cola had a Yoyo. Thanks to the internet I can see how different groups of people organize and hold Yoyo championships, where the different techniques and figures that can be made with this classic toy are shown.
This last model is an adaptation for children since despite being a toy, the Yoyo has its origins as a hunting weapon and although it may not seem like it, it can be quite dangerous and more so for a child. However, by using a hedgehog as the main image together with vibrant colors they attract the attention of every child, it is more friendly with the little ones since it is made of an elastic band. I remember that I used to walk in the park with my brother, it was a lot of fun since we used to do a competition style to see which was the most elastic hedgehog, I used to have the phosphorescent green and my brother the yellow, they were very soft and some They came with lights included that made it glow at night, so we faced the darkness and the monsters under the bed.
En mi caso en navidades nos reuniamos al rededor de 5 familias en casa de mis abuelos, conseguir un juego donde pudieramo participar todos era bastante complicado, ya que la mayoria tienen como mucho espacio para 6 jugadores, no solo era una cuestion de la cantidad de jugadores, sino que a la vez tenia que ser un juego facil de entender y divertido para adultos como para los niños, El bingo era la opcion ideal, cada juego venia con aproximadamente 20 cartones asi que era mas que suficiente para reunir a toda la familia en la mesa. Jugabamos apostando el billete o la moneda de menor denominacion que hubiera en ese momento, logicamente casa padre costeaba las entradas de sus hijos, al final de cada noche las ganancias o perdidas eran muy pequeñas, pero si tomamos en cuenta que navidad dura 15 dias, quien lograba ganar podia juntar para al menos un par de dulces para el viaje de regreso a la ciudad. El juego es bastante simple, se van sacando numeros al azar y cada quien lo va marcando en sus respectivos cartones si es que los tienen y el primero en llenar el carton gana y se lleva como premio la entrada de los demas participantes.
In my case at Christmas we met around 5 families at my grandparents' house, getting a game where everyone could participate was quite complicated, since most of them have as much space for 6 players, it was not only a question of the amount of players, but at the same time it had to be an easy game to understand and fun for adults as well as for children, Bingo was the ideal option, each game came with approximately 20 cards so it was more than enough to bring the whole family together in the table. We gambled by betting the ticket or the smallest denomination coin that there was at that time, logically, the father's house paid for the tickets of his children, at the end of each night the gains or losses were very small, but if we take into account that Christmas lasts 15 days, Whoever managed to win could save at least a couple of sweets for the trip back to the city. The game is quite simple, numbers are drawn at random and each one marks it on their respective cards if they have them and the first to fill the card wins and the entry of the other participants is taken as a prize.
Para mi, juegos al aire libre habian muchos, pero considero que hay que tener respeto por el contrincante y decidí irme de igual forma por juegos de agua, en este caso Globos, ironicamente yo tambien los usaba para jugar cuando iba a la piscina, como si no estuviera ya bastante mojado. Recuerdo jugar con mis primos y mi hermano, la idea era muy simple, hacerle marcas de guerra al otro, lo que se lograba lanzando el globo con la mayor fuerza posible o simplemente haciendo trampa y amarrando el globo de tal manera que quedara con mas presion.
For me, there were many outdoor games, but I consider that you have to have respect for the opponent and I decided to go in the same way for water games, in this case Balloons, ironically I also used them to play when I went to the pool, like if it weren't already wet enough. I remember playing with my cousins and my brother, the idea was very simple, to make war marks on the other, which was achieved by throwing the balloon with the greatest possible force or simply by cheating and tying the balloon in such a way that it would have more pressure .
Si bien era una metodologia de juego bastante simple, habian reglas, teniamos media hora para llenar la mayor cantidad de globos posibles y solo esa cantidad seria la que podiamos utilizar para jugar, ahora bien, teniendo herramientas como las que ven en las imagenes de arriba, seria extremadamente facil llenar al menos 50 globos en media hora, el problema es que solo teniamos una maguera y un llave de chorro, Si, eramos 3 y solo dos fuentes de agua, asi que nos turnabamos y con mucho respeto por el adversario, haciamos una especie de baile en sincronia perfecta donde uno se iba moviendo entre manguera y tubo y asi no interrumpir el tiempo que tenia el otro, dificil de explicar, pero basicamente mientras el 3ro llenaba, el otro amarraba su globo.
Although it was a fairly simple game methodology, there were rules, we had half an hour to fill as many balloons as possible and only that amount would be what we could use to play, now, having tools like the ones you see in the images above It would be extremely easy to fill at least 50 balloons in half an hour, the problem is that we only had a hose and a jet key, Yes, we were 3 and only two water sources, so we took turns and with great respect for the adversary, We did a kind of dance in perfect synchrony where one was moving between hose and tube and thus not interrupting the time that the other had, difficult to explain, but basically while the 3rd filled, the other tied his balloon.
Por ultimo pero no menos importante, decidí seguir con caracteristicas similares a mi adversaria, en este caso me puse a investigar sobre el balero, boliche o perinola, Segun como le digan en tu pais, descubrí que tambien al gual que el Yoyo exiten varias versiones, iniciando por la de la foto de arriba que al parecer es la clasica, aunque para mi en lo personal, seria la menos utilizada de la tres que voy a mostrar.
Last but not least, I decided to continue with similar characteristics to my adversary, in this case I began to investigate the ball, bowling pin or whirligig, according to how they say in your country, I discovered that also the same as the Yoyo there are several versions , starting with the one in the photo above, which apparently is the classic, although for me personally, it would be the least used of the three that I am going to show.
Todas tienen el mismo mecanismo de juego, constan de un mango y una cuerda que al final tiene una esfera, en algunas dicha esfera tiene un agujero y en otras no, dependiendo del modelo, en el caso de la imagen a la derecha, la Kendama si posee un agujero y consiste basicamente en ir golpeando la esfera con las distintas partes del mango hasta lograr encajar la esfera en el bastago de arriba. La Kendama es originaria de Japon, es muy poco conocida en el continente americano, recuerdo que de pequeño llegué a tener una, pero no logré entender como se utiliaba, era uno de esos juguetes "nuevos" que tus padres te compraban.
Como digo, todas funcionan de la misma menera, la Perinola por otra parte es mas sencilla pero comparte la misma tecnica, con tu mano dominantes sostienes el mango y haciendo un movimiento de brazo de adelante hacia atras, logras un movimiento de pendulo en la parte esferica, en este caso con un agujero en el centro que intentarás encajar en la parte de arriba del mango, si bien la idea es simple, requiere horas de practica hacerlo de manera correcta y cuando digo correcta, me refiero a sin hacerte daño, al igual que el Yoyo ete juguete tambien tiene historial de ser utilizado originalmente como arma de caza y por muy inocente que parezca, puedo asegurar por experiencia propia, que dá unos contundentes golpes a la muñeca si haces un movimiendo demsiado brusco.
They all have the same game mechanism, they consist of a handle and a rope that at the end has a sphere, in some this sphere has a hole and in others it does not, depending on the model, in the case of the image on the right, the Kendama If it has a hole and it basically consists of hitting the sphere with the different parts of the handle until the sphere fits into the upper stud. Kendama is originally from Japan, it is very little known in the American continent, I remember that as a child I had one, but I could not understand how it was used, it was one of those "new" toys that your parents bought you.
As I said, they all work in the same way, the Whirligig on the other hand is simpler but shares the same technique, with your dominant hand you hold the handle and making an arm movement from front to back, you achieve a pendulum movement in the part. spherical, in this case with a hole in the center that you will try to fit in the upper part of the handle, although the idea is simple, it requires hours of practice to do it correctly and when I say correct, I mean without hurting you, Like the Yoyo, this toy also has a history of being originally used as a hunting weapon and as innocent as it may seem, I can assure you from my own experience that it will give a forceful blow to the wrist if you make a movement that is too abrupt.
Viendo en retrospectiva y siendo justos, creo que llegamos a un empate, en la secion de juegos de mesa, yo (EL) poseo la delantera, ya que El bingo posee espacio para mas jugadores yno necesitas saber sumar o restar para jugarlo, simplemente conocer los numeros. Luego en la parte de juegos al aire libre, creo que mi compañera de aventuras (ELLA) anota un punto a su favor, esto debido a que en algun momento yo me quedaria sin globos para jugar, en cabio ella podia recargar su pistola de agua las veces que quisiera. En cuanto al desenlace, creo que lo justo es declarar un empate, ambos juguetes tienen pasado como armas de caza, ambos tienen distintas versiones, requieren tecnica manual y ambos son doloramente divertidos de jugar. ¿Tu quee dices? ¿Tienes un ganador?
Looking back and being fair, I think we reached a draw, in the table games section, I (EL) have the lead, since bingo has room for more players and you don't need to know how to add or subtract to play it, just know the numbers. Then in the part of outdoor games, I think my adventure companion (SHE) scores a point in her favor, this because at some point I would run out of balloons to play, instead she could reload her water pistol as many times as I wanted. As for the outcome, I think it is fair to declare a tie, both toys have a past as hunting weapons, both have different versions, require manual technique and both are painfully fun to play. What do you say? Do you have a winner?
