The Classic Game Monopoly is getting a Social Makeover

a reply to: JAGStorm

wasnt the game originally made to highlight the dangers of monopolies within a capitalist system
so are they making a socialist version to highlight the dangers of that system ?

Sounds like the social credit system version. So even board games are becoming brainwashing now, grrrrrrrr!

If that is the agenda, it won't work. Kids don't play board games. They like violent videogames and follow stupid celebrities on facebook and twitter.

Think about the moment when they discover chess. That racist and sexist game. White against black. All the power to the queen. The king stays at home. Pawns used to protect an elite.

Has anyone ever actually finished a game of monopoly?
Serious question...

I found that game so boring that I was never able to finish.

Yes, we have.
BORING??!! There is nothing boring about building hotels, and taking all the rent money from
your kids and waving it in their faces....

THEN seeing them play twice as smart/hard next time...
The game is brilliant.

youtu.be...

Looks like someone already beat them to it

One of my grandson's beats me every time we play
and we do finish the game.

If you can monopolize two corners you can win the game every time.

Who wants to go in a time machine back to 1988 with me?

Let me know when you're selling tickets.

All 85 genders need to be represented in graphic glory.

I just heard that Stratego is going to a map with one giant homogenized country that's already been invaded.

Hungry Hungry Hippos is now considered "Fat Shaming" and instead, you'll have a player in the shape of a snowflake gobbling up Starbucks Frappacino's from a barista that's parked in the middle of the board, taking 4 minutes to make each one

Hopefully they change the railroad squares to meth labs to keep up with the times.

What about the game piece?

Hmmmmm

Can't forget the Pu$$y hat to replace the top hat!

Valid.

You can also dominate the game by locking down properties spaced in 7's.

I stopped playing when the false-reality started to crush me. Every time I pass Go in real life, the government takes 1/4 of my money instead of giving me $200.

Well you should come back to the game because now the stimulus give people 1400 when they pass Go.

I just hope they haven't changed the values of the properties. I've been holding on to Monopoly money for years because it has always held its value, unlike any other fiat currency.

In the currency investment market, it far out-performed Venezuelan currency.

I do hope tokens get a beatdown before they go to jail, though. That would add a touch of realism.

No jail, but you can be cancelled.

GREAT IDEA.

If you pick the new "Democrat Politician/Pedophile" card in Chance of the new updated Monopoly, you can now get pilfer as much money as you want out of the bank, and can rob and rape the other players with NO consequences.

That card also comes with a "rig the vote" privilege, meaning once you have that card, you keep that status forever no matter what the other players want.


/sarc off....

Theres a new version called

Manopoly its by turd-wave feminist and it attempts to educate and disMANtle the Patriarchy one boardwalk at a time.

These feminist would buy it, but they make less than men so they cannot.

Can we make it 1975? That's about the time my family emigrated to the USA. The only controversies going on then was the aftermath of the Vietnam war, Watergate and the gas crisis. We were a unified nation for he most part though. Plus I was young enough to be totally bored with political discussions. Those were the day!

I cant speak for other monopolies, but there are no more railroads in Ms. monopoly. They are just ride shares that instantly take you to the next ride share spot. Also the game ends as soon as the final tile is sold. Winner is determined by net worth. My ol lady tries to be nice and hesitayes buying. I buy everything i land on and keep winning. I prefer my children understand the merciless predatory nature of the world, and force them to play accordingly. Lately my daughter has caught on and is now begining to approach me in second place a few times. I am so proud of this merciless 6 year old little girl and hope the lessons carry on through her life.

If you ask one of my spawn what is Our family motto l, they will reply: "trust noone, suspect everyone" .

I don't have monopoly but I've got a copy of ghettopoly.
