Credit cards, Debit cards, paypal… but cashless Monopoly?

Parker has ditched their colourful paper money and partnered with Visa to come up with a debit card and a card reader for all future editions of the Monopoly games.

“We started looking at what Monopoly would look like if we designed it today,” said Chris Weatherhead, a Britain.-based spokesman for Hasbro Inc., which makes the best-selling board game. “We noticed consumers are using debit cards, carrying around cash a lot less.”

I guess coming up with this idea isn’t that bad at all since many youngsters have racked up debt with plastic money, it’s about time there’s a game that teaches how to use plastic cash properly. I’m going to miss counting the money, guessing how much money my opponents have and showing off my brick of monopoly cash.

If you hate the debit card idea, don’t fret because you can still print the monopoly money at the Monopoly website.
