Who plays Monopoly anymore?

April 24, 2006

In the days of gathering around the radios and the traditional family unit...the board game Monopoly may have reigned king.

But does anybody play anymore?

I know I haven't. Actually...I'm pretty sure that I never ever finished a game, ever.

Well, the good folks at Monopoly are introducing an updated version to match today's landmarks and famous streets...

New Monopoly Board

Now, they've introduced themed Monopoly boards for years. Colleges, major cities and the like. And I just don't think this is going to work.

The biggest problem with bored, er, BOARD games is that kids are being given laptops in the first grade. Nobody plays board games anymore.

They're all too busy reading blogs.

Oh, I think you could argue that companies like Enron have been playing "Monopoly" for years...or trying to.
