Classic games and toys should be left as classics.

Why not make it real and just get rid of the board after giving out a the money?. Theres no winner, everyone is equal. So why even play??

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

We still have the original Monopoly, Parchessi, and a couple others, including Scrabble.

No we don’t have to spent money for games put out by Politically Corrupt companies. Think we will donate the saving to “TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2024/2028”.

"You just micro-aggressed a POC (by claiming 'After all, it's a free country!'). Pay $500."

The money will be changed to food stamps and the houses and hotels will all be section 8.

“Classic games and toys should be left as classics.”

I agree, if they’re going to make a new game then do that. They could call this “Totalitarian Utopia!”

Monopoly was first produced in 1935. Its copyright and patent must have run out but perhaps Hasbro can still claim a trademark on the name. It looks like a golden opportunity for someone to produce and sale the original game.

spot on.

Fail out of the gate. Do they actually think they are going to get Wokies out from behind video games to play a board game like Monopoly?

[Blue Highway]

Wokeopoly it is.

*ANTIFA has taken over the electric company and turned it into the CUD Zone (Communist Urban Defenseless Zone). Pay $1000 and forfeit 2 of your property deeds.

You would surely need a “Get out of jail free” card, if you did.

*MS-13 needs a new HQ for operations on one of your properties, pay $550 for your initiation fee, or lose your life.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Hasbro to emulate Gillette just to see if it is true that everything liberals touch they destroy.

[SheepWhisperer]

I thought they already upgraded it.

You’d be surprised, to say the least.

While I played it in my youth lots its been decades since I last did so.

Same here, I also played it some as an adult with my own kids.

Grand and great grand kids have their video games now, Very little, if any interaction with others. Kind of sad.
