Now just hold on a minute there, Baba Looey! Isn't the whole idea of "Monopoly" to become a capitalist landlord?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite game.

Sigh, whatever... so tired of Millennials ruining **** ... it's up to the GEN-Zs now...

Evolution and just like every other species that is not equipped to deal with everyday life eventually they die off.

Guess that made the one in the closet that much more valuable.
Perhaps its time to seek out more of these "offensive" games and make sure you have a copy, you know for posterity.
It also wont hurt to have a few extras to sell on ebay.

How about Risk? One of my favorite board games when I was a kid, nothing but wanton imperialism.

My god! Just wait until they discover chess! Royalty, violence, sexism, social hierarchy, black against white, exploited pawns, bishops….Bishops! For Christ’s sake! It’s a wonder any of us survived.

The old adage applies, "If you don't understand a situation, look for the money.' If this increases sales of Monopoly then more power to them. People will vote with their wallet.

The new adage applies too....Get woke, go broke.

They may be noisy, irritating and destructive--but there just arent enough of them, and they dont have the wallets, to keep anything afloat.

With the major companies tossing them crumbs, its a case of "give them a cookie and maybe they will shut up and go away to bother somebody else."

Oddly enough, I noticed that "Monopoly for Millennials" (which makes fun of Millennials) is still a huge seller, and currently being manufactured and sold. So Hasbro is definitely doing this to make money... and as they should. They're trying to cater to Millennials, while bashing them at the same time with a different variation, which is funny.

Its funny its just print on cardboard, they could make it say anything.
Hell they could have put years on them and had a box set every 10 years.
Use to play it all the time, I was pretty good at it and was lucky with the dice.
Too many distractions now and I have better things to do, oh look a squirrel.
