Let's update Monopoly

[jmowreader]

The first obvious change is pricing: does anyone REALLY think they can buy a whole street in Atlantic City for three hundred bucks?

But there need to be more cards added, like...

"Hostile Takeover."
You have decided to do a Hostile Takeover. Move your token, either forward or backward, to the closest property owned by another player and purchase it for its Mortgage Value using only cash on hand. If the property has Improvements, you must purchase the complete Color Group and all Improvements at their Mortgage Value. If player cannot afford to complete the Hostile Takeover he must forfeit his assets to the owner of the property landed on and leave the game.

1. There actually IS a licensed Super Monopoly out there. But not like THAT!

I love that Hostile Takeover idea.

You could do a lot of fucking with the utilities, too. I mean, who the hell is gonna want to stay in your house or hotel without running water and electricity? There could be ways of turning them into one of the MOST important investments on the board! The possibilities are freaking endless!

6. hey you could add a privatization card to the utilities and the jail too

if they get privatized you pay twice as much and for the jail you stay longer and/or must pay to get out

2. Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition

I play this with my grandkids.

The Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition game combines the best of classic Monopoly with updated electronic transactions. As with the original version, players still operate with money, learn real-world economics, competition and strategy, try to stay out of jail and try their best to get filthy rich. But this version has been updated to reflect changes in how the real world uses money: All transactions are conducted with Monopoly's new banking card system. Anyone age 8 and up will enjoy this updated version of one of the world's most famous games. It uses two AAA batteries, which are not included. It also includes a gameboard, electronic banker unit, title deed cards, Chance and Community Chest cards, 6 debit cards, 2 dice, 6 modern tokens -- Segway Personal Transporter, Baseball Cap, Altoids Tin, Space Shuttle, Flat-Screen TV and Dog in Handbag, 32 houses, 12 hotels and instructions.

3. Update it to Drinkopoly

Any debt can be paid by taking a shot. You have to take a shot to collect free parking, when you go to jail, when you land on go, if you want to collect a positive chance/community chest card.

4. How about Beeropoly?

7. Slamming beers instead of shots? I guess it would work

I think the problem would be the carbonation and fluid volume.
