I played the board game Risk a few months back, and Hasbro has completely changed the way the game is played. The cards no longer have to be matched, and you simply collect more cards to get more armies. They don’t even put the symbols on the cards so you can play the old way.

These changes to Monopoly look cosmetic, but they completely destroyed Risk. None of the strategies you remember from the past work anymore.

Well at least they didn’t go with PC nonsense.

Though it’s only a matter of time before they replace one of the roads with Martin Luther King Blvd.

I’m outraged!! The symbols of honest work — the boot, wheelbarrow and thimble — are being traded in for evolution (the T-Rex), PETA (the penguin) and our cultural snowflakes’ retreat into childish comfort (the rubber ducky). Hasbro has gone PC!!!!

How about adding a syringe and a prophylactic. I got upset when they removed the battleship long ago.

The cynic in me believes that all these changes are simply setting Hasbro up to start selling a “classic” version of Monopoly with all the original pieces.

Have the Monopoly set that we bought some 40 years ago and at least once a month family all plays together. Was thinking about getting a new one but will just keep the one we have - as a collector’s item, one of these days it may be worth a lot.

The whole game is retro and that’s the appeal, trying to dumb it down to a child’s game is a mistake. A ducky, lol? Please.

Boot, wheelbarrow and thimble all relate to ACTUAL WORK.

Millenials just can’t relate to them.

The thimble was my favorite. A pox upon you, Monopoly.
