What are your thoughts on the new Monopoly game?
Monopoly is my favorite board-game, I just saw a commercial for a new version, Electronic banking. Are they serious? A little girl saying she likes it because its fast and easy? No need to count money anymore. They took away the only part of the game that requires thinking. I can personally say that I will refuse to play the new version as it’s just one more small step towards the dumbing down of american society.
