Monopoly cheaters kill the bank, cut corners

Monopoly is turning 75 this year.

Hasbro is revolutionizing the game
by introducing debit cards that eliminate the banker, aka your cheating brother, and creating sound effects for when you land on Chance or Community Chest. Another kicker? You get $2 million when you pass go and real estate prices have joined the 21st century.

Oh, and the most obvious change: The board is now round. According to Hasbro, they always intended to make the board round but opted for the traditional square version just before the release all those years ago.

So, will you buy the new game?
