Wait this is actually real? I thought it was a hilarious sbubby but instead it’s just a depressing slap in the face…

This was a gift for my dad who is an avid collector. His generation is so judgemental of us so this was perfect. So perfect in fact that my step sister gave it to him for Christmas too, which meant we got to open and play one of them. It was very satisfying to watch that old man come in last place at being a millennial! I asked him if a participation trophy would make him feel better. 🤣
It fun once or twice but still Monopoly, Hasbro couldn’t commit to the bit so ithe rules are barely altered. If you’re expecting a player is the Asset Manager, who slowly buys all the property and jacks up rent of the whole board, you’re going to be disappointed.
Or just run around the board, tracking your laps. Every lap, shit gets more expensive. The first player to go around the board 5 times without going bankrupt or drawing a “you died” chance card wins.
Other chance cards could include “you survived the round of layoffs, but productivity goals remain the same. Lose $50 buying coffee to keep up.” Or “Take a mental health day. Gain $20 since you didn’t spend it commuting.” Or “Sunday brunch with friends. Lose $30 on avocado toast and mimosas.”
Community chest cards can all be like $5 of help and specifically point out that social safety nets have been all but dismantled. Some can be dropping like $100 on you, but at the cost of your next turn because you spent all day on the phone and/or doing tedious paperwork to maximize assistance.
Somebody take these ideas and just make a new board game called Peasants or Surviving Capitalism or Proletarians or something. If you make a ton of money off of it, just throw me 1%. If you only make a little money, just throw me a free copy.
Not for sale to persons under the age of 16. By placing an order for this product, you declare that you are 16 years of age or over. This item must be used responsibly and appropriately.
Even the disclaimer implies we’re irresponsible. That’s a weird age limit, too.
Probably an attempt to avoid repeating the mistake and letting gen alpha see how easy millennials and gen z have it compared to what they’ll have. Gen alpha monopoly will probably involve watching ads to stay in the game because they don’t have any money in the first place.
Shit, you’re right. I bet all the properties will have a corporate sponsor. Like, “McDonald’s™ on Ventnor Avenue” or “Walmart™ of Baltic Avenue” (because let’s be real, Baltic Avenue would totally have a Walmart.) Companies would go into bidding wars to get put on Boardwalk or Park Place.

I’m reading the instructions manual and I’m losing my mind
