Monopoly For Millennials is Actually a Thing and People Are NOT Impressed

Monopoly has created a new board game just for people who can’t afford to own a home.

Hasbro has devised a new Monopoly For Millennials.

“Forget real estate. You can’t afford it anyway,” the cover of the board game reads.

Players don’t win with money to buy homes or railroads, but instead collect “experience points” by earning rewards such as a three-day music festival or going to a vegan bistro — because memories “last forever”.

According to the description of the game on the Walmart website, this version of Monopoly was made because “adulting is hard.”

Instead of earning money as players do in the traditional Monopoly, players in this game collect experiences as they travel around the board.

The board features spaces like “three-day music festival,” “parent’s basement,” and “farmer’s market” and includes game pieces shaped like a hashtag and an emoji.

Not everyone is impressed!

People have turned to Twitter to express their feelings about the new game.

Some of them feel it’s a bit unfair that a generation is being “trashed” by a board game.

Monopoly for Millennials might be one of the worst things ive ever seen you ruined monopoly

I think it’s extremely corny hasbro created the monopoly verison for millennials. The reality is ridiculously sad.

@Hasbro Can you provide the URL for the Hasbro-official website featuring “Monopoly for Millennials,” where you trash on my age demographic because baby boomers caused an economic catastrophe that rendered us financially impotent for a decade? Thanks! pic.twitter.com/wmm0WQwnld

Is this supposed to reduce gambling habits? It looks pretty strange to me

If that is what floats your boat then know you won’t ever have a house.
Is this a warning in disguise? The old Monopoly made us realise that not all of us were able to own Mayfair.

Mum’s R Best sums this up well for me.
Also my daughter is a millennial and she owns her own home.

I know so many people travelling and going to festival…. some fit in the ‘millennial’ category, some don’t. I can imagine some people would be offended by this game

They’re always putting out gimmicky versions – that’s all this is…

I guess for people who want to purchase a house it’s like another kick.

I am a millennial myself and I see the funny side in it and may just buy it for someone for Xmas to take the piss out of them. But then again there is the game of life…
