If you are a fan of Harry Potter, then you've surely heard of Wizarding Chess. This is almost completely different from that.
It all started out as a normal game of Monopoly, I think, but once Gwen had laid out the board, I waited for the inevitable battle over who got to play the wheelbarrow.
"Actually, I don't want any of those," Xavier said. "How about I get some Lego guys to use instead?"
A few minutes later he reappeared with Harry Potter and Snape lego figures. "Here, Gwen, you can be Snape and I can be Harry Potter!"
"What will Mom be, then?" Gwen asked.
"Hold on!" He disappeared for a few minutes, then returned with a Lego pirate and a Bionicle mask that looked kind of like a skull. "Which one do you want?"
"I'll take the pirate guy," I replied.
"Well, actually, your character is actually a Ani- Ani- Ani- a shapeshifter! You can go back and forth between being a pirate and skull, see, so you have to take this skull with you whereever you go!"
"Fine." After a couple of rounds, evidently play got too mundane for Xavier. "Guess what! You see this here in jail?" He referred to another Bionicle piece that looks kind of like a jellyfish (I don't remember what actual purpose it serves.) "That's a disease! If you go to jail, you get a disease, and it follows you everywhere!" It sounds like Xavier is more familier with the rougher league of prison than I ever wanted him to be.
Unfortunately (or maybe quite fortunately, depending on your perspective), no one went to jail for a long time. I had to go cook dinner, then deal with a work emergency, so Adam took over for me. As he sat down, Xavier piped up, "Hi Dad! Would you like to buy a troll?"
I've been away from the game for awhile, but last time I checked in, "Snape" was having a meltdown because she is losing, and "Harry" was threatening to chop up Daddy's houses with his wand/sword.
Clearly, standard Monopoly is WAY too tame a game for Xavier.

that is one heck of a comment, "anonymous."
Sorry, Anonymous, but I had to delete your comment. It was so incomprehensible to almost be frightening. (Admittedly, I was an English major, and we are easily terrified by meaningless gibberish.) I can only assume you meant that message for someone else.
Take care!
