Monopoly Goes Plastic
Yes, it's true. A new version of the classic board game features a debit card instead of paper money. And say goodbye to the dog and iron playing pieces; they've been replaced with a burger and a mobile phone.
From the article on yahoo:
A spokeswoman said Monday the changes have been rolled out in a new British version of the game, which also includes an increase in property prices and a change in the London addresses printed around the board.
The new version of the game, called "Monopoly Here and Now Electronic Banking", comes with a little machine that transfers money from one player's bank card to another.
A US debit card game is scheduled for release in 2007. Anyone ever bought a house with a debit card? Yeah. That's what I thought.

Too funny -- buying houses, and hotels I'm assuming, with a debit card!
I was in Hamleys in London last week. They have SO MANY versions of Monopoly. An Olympics version, all kinds of versions. Amazing.
