Hasbro has unveiled the design of the new 75th anniversary edition of their classic board game, Monopoly, set to hit stores in fall of 2010. "Monopoly: Revolution Edition" is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s "Umbrella," Daniel Powter’s "Bad Day," and Beyonce's "Crazy in Love") that play after certain actions.

I was reading this a few minutes. I think its a mistake but I'm not much for change

FAIL.

On a round board? :no

It looks weird. And having little audio clips play every time certain actions happen? That should be cute the first dozen times or so.

AGREED! A round board? Sacrilege!!

[Shannon]

That is a travesty

Wow. I don't mind change in board games, especially all the different editions of Monopoly they've done, but... I have to say, I don't get this one. Why is it round?!

I'm okay with the different Monopoly boards they are cool, I have Disney and Star Wars. But the concept is the same with those, including the play money.

I do think board games have tough competition. Some take forever to play and I don't think the new generation attention span last that long.
