Debit Card Monopoly

Ok...so, I just saw a commercial
For a Monopoly game
That doesn't have any money.
It has a debit card system
And a machine that calculates everything for you.

What is this world coming to?
Are they serious?

The whole fun of Monopoly is the money.
The bills in your hand that you think is yours
But it really isn't.
The feeling of being rich
And taking other people's money
When they land on your Park Place hotel.

Now you just have to swipe a card!
Where are the adding and subtracting skills?
Where is the fun of being the banker?

Blah...I will never purchase this version of the game.

I just saw the commercial, too. All I could think was how it takes away one more skill practice (counting) for kids. Blah!

1. You are busted. This posted at 6:48 p.m. which means you were not on your roof as you claim.

2. Dustin really wants this game.

3. Our kids are one day going to say to us, "You mean, you played Monopoly with fake paper money?"
