Monopoly Game Updated: Credit Cards Replace Cash
Ironically, it's called the Revolution Edition!
Monopoly, which turns 75 this year, is celebrating with a modern redesign.
The game's anniversary edition, which features a circular board, eliminates cash altogether: instead of pastel-colored paper money, little real estate magnates will gobble up house and hotel pieces with credit cards. And gone, too, are the game's classic metal playing pieces, which are replaced with small, engraved plastic slabs.
Monopoly's owner, Hasbro, debuted the updated edition at at this year's Toy Fair in New York City. It's slated to go on sale sometime later this year, but the company promises to keep a traditional version of the game on the market.

This will get us used to the idea of using plastic instead of cash. The original Monopoly game was good for teaching kids how to count and how to spend their money carefully, etc.

We are really becoming a plastic society in more ways than one aren't we?
