Hasbro has unveiled the design of the new 75th anniversary edition of their classic board game, Monopoly, set to hit stores in fall of 2010. "Monopoly: Revolution Edition" is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s "Umbrella," Daniel Powter’s "Bad Day," and Beyonce's "Crazy in Love") that play after certain actions. read the rest..

If this makes the game any less boring....i'd take it.

I mean, Monopoly is like the Game of Life (at least for my fam)---they are fun to play for a little while, but then it gets to the point where you either stop cause you're so bored, or you just want to finish and get it over with.

I loved Life when I was younger. I bought it a couple of years ago and I've played it once.

Monopoly, on the other hand, is fun for me :)

@Jen That means you're dead?


@ the topics....hells no...that looks ugly.

I love Monopoly and Life!

It's less of a journey going around the circle, though! :P Also, I'd rather handle money... actually work my brain just a tad. I think I'd go bankrupt instantly with the credit card.

I have always loved Monopoly but there is no chance I would buy this version.
1) No money? That takes a lot of the monopoly-esque feel out of it for me.
2) I have NOOOO desire to hear Rhianna, Beyonce, or even Daniel Powter when I land on certain spaces. That little novelty will wear out REAL fast.
