Monopoly Not For the Squares Anymore

[sexualbanana]

Apparently, the new version of the game will have a circular board amongst other changes.

I'm a traditionalist myself.

P.S. See what I did with the title there? Get it? Get it?

Isn't this just one of a kajillion version of the monopoly game?

[D'z Nutz]

Jeez, all it's missing now is a pop-a-matic bubble.

Is that thing in the middle a calculator?

I'll /wrist if it is.

[Melinda]

WTF is a rocket zone?!

yeah, my gf and i picked up this newest version of LIFE because her original one is missing half the accessories, well theres a gdamned credit card system which just does withdrawals like real life i guess, part of the game for monopoly and LIFE is to have wads of the fake cash that you tuck underneath your portion of the board to show off, we played this new LIFE game once and never again in 3 years.

the game is played with credit cards instead of paper money, so the middle thing is like a credit transfer thingy

Ya what the hell? The entire point of Monopoly is to have a stockpile of cash and to learn how to God damn count! I go to cashiers now and they have the machine that automatically spits out change. Monopoly used a bank card, how are kids supposed to learn basic math anymore?

They could of just rounded the corners..

[swak]

they even cheaped out on the pawns now.

No longer little metal dogs, irons, cars etc...

It looks like some plastic stands with a picture of a top hat.... on them.

Lame.

[Xtrema]

Since we are modernizing.....

I should be able buy a property with 5% down so I won't run out of money by the time I land on Broadwalk.

I should be able to collect rent on mortgage property. Like who the hell pay cash in full anyway!

I should be able to buy mortgage backed securities from bank.

Banker should get huge bonus.

Top Hat, and Iron? Should be G5 and yacht

:D

[natejj]

If the Banker runs out of money, he should collect 30% of each players net worth.

[goat_killer]

somethings should never change.

Id rather play on that board than the new one.
At least the 'squares' look normal.
