Monopoly board undergoes makeover

Media_httpcachegawker_mleyj

Board game purists will likely throw a plastic house-chucking hissy fit after seeing the newly revamped Monopoly game. In celebration of the classic game’s 75th anniversary, Parker Bros. has ditched the old square board and replaced it with a circular one and made the switched from cash to credit. “Monopoly Revolution” hits shelves this Fall with a $35 price tag.

Oh, and before you whip up anti-Monopoly protest signs and organize a Facebook group, take comfort in knowing the old-school boards will still be available.

Well, I was tempted to "throw a plastic house-chucking hissy fit"...:-)

It looks good...the new board will take a bit of getting use to...and paying with credit instead of cash...? An interesting twist and a "fake head".
