Monopoly Gets a Modern Make-over

Looks like our favorite board game is getting a modern make-over! For it's 75th anniversary, Parker Brothers is releasing Monopoly Revolution. It comes with a circular board and a computerized console where players will swipe credit cards to keep track of their digital currency. Out this fall, the game will cost $35.

You can check out more pictures at Pocket-Lint.

So what do you think? Should Parker Brothers modernized Monopoly?

Personally, I'm digging the minimal look of the board but I can't help but miss the iconic banker!

Comment by Suliman Azzouni on January 31, 2010 at 9:14pm: The boards design is nice. Having said that I went and bought me “New Monopoly” board ( not as cool as this one) a few months ago for us to play. All they had was the Credit Card system. I hated it !. I feel like the banker is essential for the fun of the Game. How else are you supposed to Cheat ;). I think it is enough plastic that we use in our everyday life’s!.
