So much for teaching the next generation of kids basic math skills through something fun like a game. Games like that are good for disguising learning so kids don't think it's school. Sometimes I think I learned more outside of school than in it on certain subjects.

For realism, they need to add a 3.785% transaction fee, force the players to spend 45 minutes before the game to set up paperless billing (Or elect to be charged a $50 terminal fee per move), and introduce disputes and chargebacks.

What was wrong with the old one? You learned some math, and had fun. They really need to quit trying to reinvent the wheel.

There is a big push towards a cashless society. Apparently Hasbro is pushing that way too.

Why is this news now?

2011 electronic banking edition.

Personally Monopoly should be played like poker, using that big wad of cash in front of you to intimidate other players who can see at a glance you rule.
