Putting the NO in Monopoly

[TheSportsPredictor]

Here's your 21st century version of the game of Monopoly.

No money. It's all ATMs and debit cards.

You get $2 million for passing Go.

The tokens you use to move around the board play snippets of popular songs.

It's called Monopoly: Revolution.

It should be called Monopoly: FAIL.

That is absolutely turrible.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Ugh.

Part of the appeal for me as I teach one of my kids is how to make change. Not having cash isn't going to help.

The cash register tells them how to do that!!

A few months ago, bought something for $17.25

Gave the cashier a twenty, a toonie and a quarter so I could get a five dollar bill back. (Trust me, in Canada, this is important; otherwise you take a pound/half a kilo of change out of your pocket and you've got $15.00)

She looked at me like I had asked her to prove the Theory of Relativity.

You're funny, honey.

You lost me after you said you're taking a half-kilo of something out of your pocket.

 

[User 1019]

Credit card companies just wet their pants and know exactly why.

 

[RickStain]

The circular board is all kinds of awful.

The debit-card banking system seems neat until you realize it kills house rules. Nobody ever plays Monopoly according to the actual rules, do they?

Damn metric system. It's why a Quarter Pounder in France is called Royale with cheese.

But a Big Mac is still a Big Mac.

I know, eh? Like he has any money. ;D

You're funny too, JJ. Just slightly (and only slightly) less debonair.

Generally not what I envision when I think of Royale...... :-\

I'll take that.

I actually kinda like the changes and might get that game.

I mean, if Monopoly can make 70 million different versions of the game to accommodate pro sports teams, colleges, NASCAR, states, etc., why not this version?

 

[Bob Cook]

So what are you supposed to put in the middle of the board for people to collect when they land on Free Parking?

 

[Double J]

Ownership of the Phoenix Coyotes. ;D

 

[Football_Bat]

The circular board is the only change I can live with, even though the corners are key in old Monopoly. Monopoly money made Monopoly and the musical pieces seem a distraction.

And in Germany, a Big Mac is a Big Mäc.

This.

And this. Always make up your own rules. My siblings and I were always in full Monty Hall mode, making side deals on everything. And the free-parking pot always started at $100 and could go through the roof.

 

[ucacm]

couldnt you just add the free parking money on the debit card when someone lands on it? i doubt the game is so advanced it electronically tracks why someone puts money on a card
