"All it takes is a card swipe for money to change hands. Now you can collect rent, buy properties and pay fines - with the touch of a button! It’s a new way to play the family classic that’s been brought up-to-date with modernized tokens (including a Segway personal transporter, an Altoids tin, space shuttle, flat-screen TV, baseball cap and a dog in handbag!)"
-- seriously?
What should go here?

I saw that at the store, disappointing. I just wanted the original. haha I like being the banker. Swiping a card limits cheating. Suppose there's still a way around it.
@deck--it does seem like it would be less fun! the original is now being marketed as "retro."
doesn't also seem really societally irresponsible, what with this recession an' all?
I still prefer the one me and some neighborhood kids made from memory using an old street sign as the board and butcher paper to draw it on and cut out cards, deeds and money. THAT'S baller.
if I can't be the fucking schnauzer, I ain't playing.
@j--calvin ball!
@ss--exactly! they probably replaced it with some wack-ass chihuahua with a gucci collar.
haha
Does it also come with ARMs and collapsing credit?
