Supporters of the new version might deem it gamesmanship or sport. The company, therefore, “simply gives fans what they crave.” And nearly 70% of players report never reading the rules at all roughly a third create their own, and most pass along “house rules” not found in the official rulebook. The decision to introduce it follows a company-sponsored survey that revealed nearly half of game-players attempt to cheat while playing. Hasbro representatives admit it is a darker version of the game. Most rules of the classic Monopoly game will remain the same however, the new version will include “cheat cards” within the Chance and Community Chest, that encourage players to do just that: cheat. The cheater’s edition? Not to worry, we're assured.
MONOPOLY GAME CHEATERS EDITION FULL
The game and its themes are tweaked occasionally to “unlock the full potential of the brand.” Thus, this fall we’ll be introduced to Monopoly, the Cheater’s Edition. Acquired by Hasbro in 1991, Monopoly is now licensed in 103 countries and played globally by more than a billion people. Introduced in 1904 and redesigned for Parker Brothers by 1935, Monopoly became the leading proprietary game throughout the western world. During that time, in a simpler, slower slice of life, we relied on the likes of Parker Brothers to occupy our time and space.
Oh, how we loved that game! We especially loved when the west winds swept across the heartland and whipped up a snowstorm that isolated us for days. So accustomed were we to the wobbly leg that we took turns bolstering that side of the table with our knees, our eyes intent on the colorful Monopoly game board before us. A relic from the past, its turquoise surface was scuffed by use one leg failed to catch. We spent endless days hovered over the dilapidated old card table set up temporarily in the far corner of the living room in the home where we grew up. Both affirmed this adamantly when I asked them if they had ever cheated at Monopoly when we played as children.
