The board game “Monopoly” will be the next classic entertainment brand to receive a socially conscious makeover, publisher Hasbro announced this week.
Hasbro will change all 16 of Monopoly’s “community chest” cards to remove outdated concepts. The company said the classic versions of the cards, which included prompts referencing beauty contests and holiday funds, were “long overdue for a refresh.”
New community chest cards will focus on topics that emphasize “community.” Hasbro asked the public to vote on potential replacements, with rewards for in-game actions such as rescuing a puppy or shopping local among the options. Other cards would penalize players for forgetting to recycle or blasting music too late at night.
“The world has changed a lot since Monopoly became a household name more than 85 years ago, and clearly today community is more important than ever,” said Eric Nyman, Hasbro’s chief consumer officer. “We felt like 2021 was the perfect time to give fans the opportunity to show the world what community means to them through voting on new Community Chest Cards.”
Hasbro said the updated version of Monopoly featuring new community chest cards will be available this fall. It wasn’t clear if a classic version of the game will still be sold.

You landed on Woke Mob Square.
Contribute $200 to local BLM organizations so you aren’t cancelled and your business burned .
So Boardwalk and Park Place will become Calle Ocho and Martin Luther King Blvd.
Go on Hasbro, kill another simple icon that offended no one.
Has-Doh!
Homer Simpson and they own play-doh.
No railroads since they’re either state-owned (for passenger) or oligarch-owned (for freight).
Therein lies the problem - the rich. Gawd forbid anyone to win the game with hotels on Park Avenue. It must be racist if a white kid is playing and wins.
While I played it in my youth lots its been decades since I last did so.
I think I’ll go out and buy a monopoly game before the new one comes out. I haven’t seen ours in ages.
What about the name? Shouldn’t it be something like “Unfortunate Result of an Oppressive Capitalist System”?
Ha...found an old Monopoly game in inlaws house, probably from 50s..guess we won’t throw it out afterall. Leftists ruin EVERYTHING.
I’m not touching this one.
I was thinking name should be COMMIEOPOLY
Yea, because if you do, you can no longer continue the game, as all your money is stolen, and you have to sell any properties you own in order to pay for your hospital bill.
Just plain stupid.
Getting rid of Mrs. White in Clue was another garbage move of theirs.
Definitely the latter, with a huge BLM “mural.”
Have a permanent moratorium on rent—see if anybody buys any property!
Take all the suggestions on this thread so far and call the game....
Marxopoly
A movie of extraordinary magnitude...
You have my gratitude...
