MONOPOLY

The famous family game is going plastic. Monopoly Money Traded for Debit Cards
A new version of the famous board game will swap paper money for an electronic banking system. Is it blasphemy?

Board game giant Hasbro is giving one of their most popular games, Monopoly, a distinctly modern makeover by swapping out its trademark multi-colored paper money for debit cards. The new electronic banking version of the game (pictured here), which is as-yet only slated for release in the U.K., features plastic Visa cards that are swiped through a device to keep track of a player's funds. "The new electronic Monopoly reflects the changing nature of society and the advancement of technology," spokesman Chris Weatherhead told Sky News. We can't help but wonder what's next. Will the Monopoly Man's dandyish attire be swapped out for designer threads, or for a millionaire in a double-breasted suit with a horrible comb-over?


This is outrageous!! The kids of today are going to be taught that it is okay to put things on plastic. You spend 12 to 18% more when you buy with plastic. My family will stick to the old fashioned version.
