I disagree. Monopoly's fake money made it l337 back in it's day, and now, seventy-odd years later, it's still l337. And really...who buys properties and bails out of jail with a credit card?

then again, who buys properties for less than 400 dollars and get out of jail for 50 dollars? And even if properties really costed 400 dollars i bet very few would pay in cash. The new monopoly should probably use checking accounts by your logic.

Then again, who gets rich by making a little tophat or a thimble run around a square and buy stuff?

No, they should change the mortgage system so that if you don't pay a certain interest every turn you have something mortgaged, they would start piling up credit card debt on you.
