Recently, a group who were playing the popular game on a sidewalk in Belgium were interrupted by an annoyed neighbour.
According to the Belgium newspaper, La Libre, the neighbour had initially emerged from their home wielding a stick and confronted the rowdy group.

Unfortunately, the situation quickly took a turn and escalated when the neighbour's son joined and brought his katana sword, which is a Japanese samurai sword.
There was a physical altercation between multiple members and the sword's scabbard was damaged exposing the blade.
The player tried to grab the katana and removed the holster. The son tried to get it back.

This resulted in two men being seriously injured.
The men were rushed to hospital, with the Monopoly player being released a day later, but the sword owner sustained a seriously deep cut in an artery and his condition was life-threatening and still very serious.
Hopefully, both men have learnt a very valuable lesson and they make a full recovery.
