Hasbro is rewriting the Community Chest cards for Monopoly in order to be more woke. I read them, and it is nauseating. Some examples:
- You volunteer to paint a mural at your local school. Collect $50
- You volunteer at your local literacy center and learn some fun phrases in a new language! Collect $100
- You help a local school build a playground- and you get to test the slide! Collect $100
- You graciously host a group of international students. They appreciate the home cooking! For each house you own, pay $40. For each hotel you own, pay $115.
- You didn’t shop local! Pay $50
- You found a wallet on the ground and decided not to return it. Go to jail, go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200
- You held a neighborhood party- but didn’t recycle your trash. Pay $100
- You volunteer to run the social media accounts for a non-profit art center, and you meet some pretty talented people. Collect $100
Woke garbage. Still, who plays board games any more?

Ha!
You’d think they’d have learned their lesson with the woke Ms. Monopoly fiasco.
Everyone hated it and made fun of it.
When everyone was looking for board games early last year, it was the only one that didn’t go out of stock or have a bump in price.

maybe they want us to stay home forever, never speak to anyone…that way we can’t offend anyone…what’s next, jacks, ball and paddle, jump rope?…i have better things to do with my life than walk around afraid i might offend someone…

About the only board game I play now is chess. It’s good training.
