What is it with corporations? Hasbro, the owners of Monopoly, have decided to give the 75 year old game a makeover which could make it even worse.
As reported by pocket-lint, the board becomes circular and the cash is replaced with credit cards which you run through a central console.
This might well destroy everything. With fake credit cards, you can't steal your opponent's money when they leave the room to go to the toilet, answer the phone or make coffee. It takes the fun out of the game and means it will drag on for even longer. The new game goes on sale later this year.
