Monopoly replaces cash with credit card

July 25, 2006 | Links

Cool - Monopoly has gone and done, what I think is, an incredibly cool thing. They have ditched the cash for credit cards. Each player gets a credit card and there is a machine that updates transactions as they take place. This removes the counting out your money nonsense and, more importantly, stops people from stealing your money when you go to the toilet.

Please note : I’ve not actually seen this for sale, don’t have a clue how much it costs. Would be interested if anyone else knows.

    You don’t need to hack the machine just punch in the wrong numbers (e.g. add or remove zeros)

    I’ve now seen it for sale. Woo Hoo. I seem to recall it was part of the new Simpsons Monopoly, but I’m sure it’s in other versions too.
