Imo, the old-school paper money was the ownage. It also allowed you to strike all sorts of awesome deals, or make sweet variations in the rules.

lol, that takes so much away from a great game.

This is because the kids of today cannot count or think without a calculator/computer. The original game is too hard for them to play.

do you earn interest on the cash balance?

Another perfectly good thing ruined by technology

So we make it easier for them to get by without having these skills. Nice.

[Tremulant]

[mwtgg]

I gotta admit, that's pretty clever... but so entirely stupid.

Don't say WE. I am dead set against the way kids are coddled and taught that competition and earning your way is bad. The education system of this country has become useless.

LoKe, looks like you're paying for a new sarcasm meter for this guy... I hope you have insurance.

It is part of an international deal between Parker and finance giant Visa, which designed the mock debit card and its electronic machine.

... and now we know why they are doing it. <sigh> A little co-branding and money from Visa means that now Monopoly requires a battery to be played. That's no longer a board game, IMO. :disgust:

That being said, I prefer to play Monopoly in "party mode" on the Xbox.

It was so fun trying to steal money from the bank. Guess you can't do that anymore.

 

[EvilYoda]

LOL, that's so ridiculous...I could never play that version.

There goes the house rule about money for Free Parking.

Actually, that was me agreeing with you.
