Monopoly boards are now circular

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on January 30th, 2010

That is a weird sight. What you see above is a Monopoly board that looks nothing like a Monopoly board. For its 75th anniversary, Monopoly is trying something new. A circular board. Also digital currency. There is sure to be some controversy as some will love it and some will want to cling to the old game.

The change does make it easier to keep track of the cash, I like that. The circular board has to go though. Why not just make a kick-ass video game version and be done with it? What do you guys think? Do you like this one better? Or the old game?

Monopoly Revolution will arrive in the Fall for $35.

    I think a circular board is an interesting idea but the design of this particular one is absolutely horrible and based far too much on current fashions (the train stations appear to have wifi).

    There is a video game version of monopoly and it KICKS BUTT!!! It came out for the Playstation 2 a couple of years ago.

  3. EndlessWaves Says:

    There have been lots of video game versions but when you’ve got Sim City why would you want mere monopoly?
