Monopoly ditches the cash…

Monopoly plastic readerWell, I honestly dont believe it.
Those of you who know me may (or may not) know that I own a number of varying monopoly boards, and sort of collect them. Well, the day has come where Monopoly is changing. Yes, it’s ditching the cash, the ability to cheat, and half the fun of being the banker and moving to the digital age. Monopoly will now be played with credit cards. I personally believe this is a bad move. Afterall, do people not play board games to get away from the digital world? This is just making board games move a step closer to computer games.

While that may seem sensible to board game manufacturers, i genuinely think they target totally different audiences, and trying to cross the two is not the way forward.

Show me the money!

    I saw this, and I agree that it will take away some of the fun I think. There will be the novely of using the card system, but I reckon that will last two turns. After that it will simply be irritating that you can’t check on the size of your stash without swiping your card.

    I concur with you both – one of the only things I like about monopoly is counting out my cash!
