New Monopoly Game Uses Debit Card, No Cash

A British version of the classic Monopoly board game released this week substitutes a Visa-imprinted debit card for the stacks of yellow, blue and purple play money long hoarded by children worldwide.

I'm all for it if it cuts down the playing time.

I was thinking, "great, now my daughter will play this".. but then at her school, she pays for everything with her ID/"credit card".... I don't need her playing this though....I like watching her count the money.....

Save your money for something more valuable.

Is this for real, or just a hoax?

i actually think it is a very good and intelligent idea,

I think it's pass due for a upgrade of this game. I am very excited and will go buy this game. I hated keeping track of the paper money and wondering who was stealing the money. This is the best idea that Parker Brothers could have ever come up with! The "OLD SCHOOL" needs to catch up with the change of the world!

I think Monopoly World Cup Edition is the best.

Who buys properties with credit cards. Maybe they should have Cashier checks instead. If you go to a forclosure, they dont take credit cards or debit cards. Just Real Money notes or cashier checks.

It's funny how people get so worked up over things like this! Everyone has their own preferences. If you like it, buy it. If you don't, then don't. Isn't it nice to have options and choices?

[Its me]

i am sooo buying this! its soooo annoying having to count out the money everytime you play!

[Anna]

[Chloe]
