5 add-ons for Monopoly to fit this generation

Our life, if you still haven’t noticed is one big game. Mixed with different kind of board games, our financial investment decisions would be like those in Rich Dad Poor Dad board game. You get to have every opportunity but sometimes, you get a bad one or you pass. In the Game Of Life, it is more focused on the job you will have and the kid you will raise. In Monopoly, it teaches you to do business by monopolizing.

There are only a few differences here. In life, you do not wait for others to roll the dice. You just roll one turn after the other and every once in a while, you roll and go to the jail, get a “Doodad” or meet a financial crisis. Also, we do not get to choose to play the best board game. We only play what life gives us whether it is orange or lemons. The game is only over when we think the game is over.

In life, you can improve and control your own life. How about in games? What if we improve them by ourselves? Here are some add-ons you would like!

New Chance Cards

Are you tired of getting the same “get out of jail free” card or getting a tax refund? Well, here are some improvements you can have now! Of course, it is retro-fitted to our generation now. Ask ladies and a majority of them knows about Melanoma. How about the man to man marriage issue?

New Community Chest Cards

In our present justice system, we depend on our lawyers AND our money. Money makes the world go around and money is a better talker than our lawyer. This is a cliché when in sales. I’ve heard several stories of them sleeping with their clients just to bag the sales. No comments about the hooker part though.

New Boxes
Also, here are some new boxes to improve the board. Who really here computes the income tax box? I for one always would rather to pay the $200 than compute my 10% worth. Of course, this is only applied in the game and not in real life!

Paris Hilton Special Edition Monopoly

This one here is a limited edition Paris Hilton Mono-opoly! Notice the star box? I do not even think she has to buy any properties because they already own a handful of them!

Monopoly Money Dress

In real life, it is easy to flaunt your wealth. Buy expensive cars, jewelries or yachts. But in Monopoly the game, you can’t but, now, you can! With this Monopoly dress, make sure that everyone playing the game knows who the riches person is! One risk here though, everyone would like to defeat you to bankruptcy!

A few years back, a professor told me a story. One student who took a test came in late but managed to finish the test on time. He thought that the two written questions on the blackboard was a bonus. He answered one but can’t answer the second. The next day, the professor told him that, because he was late, he never heard that those two are unsolvable questions. He was just like the bumble bee, scientist say that their bodies are too large for their wings to lift them. But they fly anyway.
