BOO: There's No Cheating In The New Monopoly
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Monopoly, Hasbro has decided to give the game an extreme makeover by changing the shape of its board from a square to a donut. They also got rid of the sherbert-colored money, and replaced it with some kind of stupid electronic debut card. And instead of collecting $200 when you pass go, you now collect $2 million.
Hasbro said that the original concept design of Monopoly was round, so it's not something they randomly came up with as a way to get collectors to buy a new version. They came up with the electronic pin card idea, because they wanted to stop people from embezzling money from the bank. Boo. Ooo.
Thank you, Hasbro, but no fucking thanks. I'll stick with my beat up Monopoly game with the beer-stained money and Barbie Peekabo game pieces (I lost the iron and top hat). I'm all for Monopoly being in the shape of a pill, but I won't play a game that doesn't allow you to cheat. The only way I can ever win a 22-hour long game of Monopoly is if I Bernie Madoff the bank and my fellow players when nobody is looking.
When playing Monopoly with me, either wear a diaper or bring a bottle to piss in (like - NSFW - this boy), because I will loot the bank if you go to the bathroom.
Methinks Hasbro is going to realize their mistake and try to fix it by coming up with a way for you to commit credit card fraud or hack into the bank.

Embezzling in Monopoly has a long and honored history. That's just crap.

Monopoly is fun but DOGopoly is REALLY the way to go. Ask anybody.

What kind of fuckery is this? I can't mess with a classic. And that little ATM shit in the middle totally kills any way of playing variations of the game. In my family we play with "free parking" where all of the taxes that we pay go to the free parking space and then whoever lands on it gets the kitty.
Monopoly is no joke around the holidays. One time my brother and I played on and off one game for three days straight. Funny thing is that I'm pretty sure that this game shaped our lives because now he's going to school for Accounting and I'm a Math/business double degree major.

I have Monopoly Here and Now Edition, Monopoly Star Wars, Deluxe Monopoly... I'd buy this one. It really doesn't matter which version I play because I will still kick everyone's ass.
You are one serious Monopoly player Michael!

What's next? A PC change of "Sorry" to "I Hope You Haven't Been Offended"? "Operation" to "Body Modification?" "Hungry Hungry Hippo" to "Eating Disorder Elephant"?
Hahahaha.
I'm really hoping for a Dlisted version of monopoly.

Fuck Hasbro.
I've got the new 3D Monopoly and hate it.
Well, the only thing I like about it is that if your opponents build up too many houses, hotels etc you can buy and build a toxic waste plant or prison right next to them so they can't collect cash. LOLOLOLOL okay, that is cool, but that's it, the rest SUCKS!
A debut card?

Fuck this shit. Hasbro should know better than to mess around with a classic. Didn't they just screw around with Clue recently? Anyways, who wants a little electronic debit card. In this economy, cash is king.
i play drunk monopoly
i created my own pieces
i have a rusty fishing weight, a lint ball with fritos holding it together, a used toothpik, a roach clip and a giant toe nail clipping
I'm convinced NO ONE can beat my kid at Monopoly. I may have to get him this new version.
let's be honest - how often does anyone ever play monopoly? and even when they do, they cheat.
(sniff this)--------------------------->>> (_!_)
Monopoly is the most BORING fucking game ever invented. The only reason I would ever play is because I creatively came up with new ways to cheat.
but damn MK, I really wanna play Monopoly with you after reading that post of yours.
Do NOT pass GO.
Do NOT collect $200.
I liked Monopoly when I was winning and when I could be the Scottie dog. When someone else was winning or it was going on too long, I got bored. Plus, just COLLECTING MONEY is a boring game. Bernie Madoff will disagree, I know.
I liked Sorry! better. SLIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!! SORRY!

And btw we didn't call it cheating, we said someone robbed the bank and that was a perfectly plausible real-life occurence.

LOLOL YES!!!
And slowly slamming down the little metal pieces on the board as you near the unsold park place to the groans and gnashing of teeth!
... oh and madame s - you're such a hard ass!

Like it's not bad enough we have every city/sport/movie version of Monopoly. It looks like a shitty version of Life. I agree MK, what fun is a game you can't even have the option to cheat at? And btw we didn't call it cheating, we said someone robbed the bank and that was a perfectly plausible real-life occurence.

I can't believe people still play Monopoly. It's so boring.

It's not boring when you're the one winning.
Ugh it's not going to be as fun flipping the board over now. Fuck Hasbro.

no way! this shit looks like that electronic detective game I had as a kid, it's not high tech enough for me to want to give up my old standby Monopoly game, no fucking way. People are just LAZY, too lazy to count out the money at the beginning.

That's why I never win playing that game. Bitches are stealing behind my back all the fucking time!
Car and Dog were always the most desired pieces.

Getting stuck with anything other that the top hat of the iron (I was always the iron...ALWAYS) is like getting the bitch seat in the back seat of a car.

Fighting over who got which playing piece always got really involved and took a lot of time.

Ahhaha! Some of you guys are vicious. I'm so anti-cheating, once when I was little (around 14) I was babysitting a really young kid (around 6 or 7) and he cheated on a game and I told him he was on his own and that I would never play a game with him again. And I packed that game up and kept my word too. Little bastard.

BOOOOO!!!!!! Stealing money was what actually made the game fun. That and pretending to fake iron the board with that little iron and moving the piece forward when no one is paying attention.

Oh God NOOOO --- what the holy hell? This sucks ass. No retribution to the banker when you pay that hotel bill all in ones? Fuck that. I ain't buying it.
When Monopoly released a similar game on iTunes music store, people HATED it and wrote vicious comments and low ratings. A year later they came out with the "normal" monopoly and people rejoiced.
You don't mess with a classic. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. How many other bon mots do I have to toss out there before they quit pulling this shit???

Agreed Albatross. Monopoly was just fine the way it was. Who wants to deal with that electronic crap when the fake money was one the best things about Monopoly? Pfft. Pass.

Monopology gets ugly in our household because we are bunch of dirty, trash-talking, thieving mofos. That electronic system might come in handy. My husbands parents divorce was initiated by a really ugly game of Trouble (I am totally serious about that, he won't even play the game b/c of the memory).
------------------------------
Word. My family gets so violent and cut-throat with monopoly that I refuse to play it. You never know how dirty anybody can be until youre fighting for park place and the boardwalk.
