Monopoly 2010
by thetodaynews on Feb.05, 2010, under entertainment
The classic board game Monopoly will get a makeover for its 75th anniversary. The new version, called “Monopoly: Revolution Edition”, includes two major changes.
Besides the new shape of the round game board, the other major change of the game is the elimination of paper money and a banker, replacing them instead with an ATM and debit cards!
The handing over of your hard-earned money to your laughing kid-brother after landing on a hoteled Boardwalk was a core experience of the game. Replacing that with just a virtual transfer via the push of a button pretty much destroys the unique appeal of the game. Expect this once iconic brand to soon become a part of gaming mediocrity.
