Monopoly is my favorite board-game, I just saw a commercial for a new version, Electronic banking. Are they serious? A little girl saying she likes it because its fast and easy? No need to count money anymore. They took away the only part of the game that requires thinking. I can personally say that I will refuse to play the new version as it’s just one more small step towards the dumbing down of american society.

I would not buy it, It makes monopoly go to fast and it loses the fun. I remember playing the regular monopoly and the banker cheating lol. So where would the fun and the lesson be? Shows how lazy we’re getting.
I wouldn’t like it.
The best part is to see all of the fake cash in the palm of your hands and feel great when your opponents only have $150 left in twenties and fives and ones…
I think that “Getting Paid” feeling might go away with the credit card idea. Plus, laughing when someone is having a hard time counting $2000 when landing on Boardwalk w/4 hotels is great!
Personally, I like taunting my opponents by getting heaps of 20s and saying that since normal 100 dollars are green, so are 20s, and then throwing them up in the air. With this, you can’t do it anymore!
