Life before the New Monopoly

new monopoly

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Monopoly, Hasbro has decided to give the game a makeover by changing the shape of its board from a square to round. They also got rid of the colored money, and replaced it with some kind of electronic debit 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 because they wanted to stop people from embezzling money from the bank.

WHY FUCK WITH A CLASSIC!!!!

Let me guess…the pieces are replaced with an iPhone, some type of -oodle blended dog, a Garmin, a prescription bottle, and a medical marijuana card..!

What’s next…Scrabble for dyslexics?
