Monopoly: Here and Now No Cash Just Credit Cards

July 26, 2006

Old time games aren’t what they use to be. The newest version of Monopoly titled Here and Now is doing away with cash and giving the game players the use of plastic. Credit cards that is. However this change is so far only in a new British version, but Hasbro is thinking about changing American versions as well.

Some other changes to the board game includes a raise in going completely around the board. Instead of the old 200, players now recieve 2 million pounds. The board has also gotten rid of some old addresses and added new ones such as Notting Hill where Julia Roberts filmed the movie of the same name. And oh yes, instead of winning money for winning a beauty pageant you will now win for winning a reality tv show.

The new name says it all. We are in the here and now and some old things do need to catch up. The game sounds interesting and even though I’m in the US I would definitely grab this on Ebay if I were to see it.
