Cashless Monopoly

In an effort to stay on top of the latest posts page I present to you cashless monopoly -

In a deal with Visa Monopoly (the board game from Parker Brothers) will no longer come with money but with fake credit cards. These mock cards are designed by Visa and look just like real credit cards. The banker is equipped with a scanner/calculator which he can scan through transactions for players.

Gone are the days when you could slip money from the bank whilst nobody was watching it (come on we all did it! Or is that an ENTJ thing?)

I suppose less and less people use real money any more so it's just a sign of the times. But isn't this also teaching kids they can use a card for anything? I suppose atleast it's a debit card so they can't spend money they don't have. Though I like the idea of buying Mayfair plus a hotel with a credit card.

But wheres the fun in that ... half the fun when I play is figuring out how to discretely "borrow" money (either from the bank or the closest player ) without being noticed . Ok so maybe i'm just evil like that.

But an interesting thought .... you could start a new range of technologically advanced remakes such as txt message scatagories.
