What do you think about this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

That would freakin' suck

! Seriously, the best monopoly game is the original. I mean, it'd be kind of cool, but it's more nostalgic and fun to play it with real fake money

Ditto Gamelver, ditto.

Besides counting the money increases your mental capacity.

I saw that on the news, sure would be a lot faster with lots of players. But, nothing beats the original

It's good for beginners, large groups and casual players, but anyone who really likes paper will opt for classic monopoly. Though the actual system is kind of neat.

just think how much our originals will be worth on Ebay in ten years

Not that much considering how many have been sold.

This will be nice for a fast game, but you can never replace the coolness of holding $500 bills.

I like the idea, as much as I love Monopoly

Anyone notice the obvious advertisement of "Visa" on the Monopoly cards? It kind of makes you (or at least me) wonder what other product placements will be found in board games soon.

Lol. Its a shame, but cool. I still think they should implement a bank system with ATM cards lol You use the card and go withdraw cash

But then some pc hackers would have up the terminal and steal the cards magnetic signature and you PIN etc. Then they would steal all your monopoly money!

Yeah I have to agree. You're more concoious of how much money you have when you can count the bills in your hands. If all you have is a card and you have to ask to swip it to see your balanace that's too different for me, perticularly on that game.

This reminds me, i got to get nintendo monopoly. also, i have 4-6 copies of the original game, and i will not be buying this new game. plus, my goodwill has like 8 copies of the game, i will probably buy those. stockin' up on monopoly.

guys guys guys. In the article it said that this new version is being sold along side the classic version. They're not getting ris of the old monopoly, this is just another version that will be available.

I think that this is a good idea. Monopoly should reflect modern times, and right now it doesnt do that very well because its from 1936. Maybe they can also take out the railroads and add airlines...
