New Monopoly Looks Much Less Fun
I have no idea why Hasbro has decided to completely ruin a classic game. The new Monopoly is a shell of it’s former fun self:
Hasbro has unveiled the design of the new 75th anniversary edition of their classic board game, Monopoly, set to hit stores in fall of 2010. “Monopoly: Revolution Edition” is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day,” and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”) that play after certain actions.
The game board looks like a roulette wheel. The song clips are already over-played. There is no paper money so there is no cheating.
Hey Hasbro there are only two ways to win in Monopoly: lucky die rolls or cheating. And how can you have a game based on the American capitalist system that involves luck but not cheating?
Is this Communopoly?

Yeah they kept the Mediterranean and Baltic Avenue properties as well as Oriental, Connecticut, and Vermont Avenues ones.
Pity. They should have gotten rid of those when the subprime mortgage crisis emerged. When will they learn their lesson?
