New cards will require players to pay for donating to an animal shelter, failing to recycle the trash or not choosing to shop local.
'Covering topics like beauty contests, holiday funds, and life insurance, there is no denying the Monopoly game's Community Chest Cards are long overdue for a refresh,' Hasbro said in a statement.
'And, coming out of the tumultuous year of 2020, the term "community" has taken on a whole new meaning.'
It is unclear if Hasbro will no longer sell versions of Monopoly with the traditional cards.

“I wonder if there are woke liberal types running the Hasbro company now.”
I read an interesting take recently on Get Woke, Go Broke. The author said that companies like Coke were not getting woke without a good reason. Coke, and a few others, are in steady decline. Specific to Coke, and there were other examples, parents have been steering their kids away from sugary drinks for a long time and Coke’s sales have been in a steady decline. Coke is facing regulations and laws, like Bloomberg’s large soda ban. The impact is the worst kind, a steady, steady decline in sales. Coke, and others facing similar problems, are trying to go woke to protect themselves from further decline, further attacks. They are saying, “Look! We are every bit as socially aware as you arer, so please don’t hurt us. See?! Here’s a big donation to your cause! Don’thurtuspleasepleaseplease!”
My guess is that Hasbro and others have been hurt by PC games and phone apps. They are trying desperately to make themselves relevant and, at least, get few clicks to put their name out there. Perhaps they think some woke people will buy their kids the new Monopoly or the new gender neutral Mr...uhm Ms? Potato head. (I suspect the woke set don’t have kids. They are kids themselves, inside, if not in actuality.)
In reality, the woke crowd is not an audience you can market to. They are perpetually angry leftists siting in their underwire in their parent’s basement just spewing hate.
Polician Monopoly -Every space is “Get Out of Jail Free” and you dump all the money in the middle of the board. Everyone takes whatever they want.
Hasbro is such a disgrace. They destroy all of the properties they gobble up.
When you pass GO, you still get $200, but Whites get $150 taken out in taxes and are still listed as getting a salary of $200, and so are not eligible for additional benefits.
Others who pass GO get their $200, plus an obamaphone and free college tuition, but are still listed as earning below the poverty level and so get generous additional benefits.
Oh, because money is so much about this stuff.
Are capitalists shooting themselves in the foot? Next we will have slavery-monopoly... no more money, just Marxist human muscle work.
Will there be an Autonomous Zone?
Electric Company will go solar.
Cops find meth bag under seat. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Suspended from Facebook for post on COVID. Move back five spaces.
Lose job for 12 year old tweet. Pay $500.
It doesn’t seem right that only one company makes Monopoly.
Do you know how much you could make selling “copies” of that?
“”Will Boardwalk and Park Place be valued differently,””
Depends on whether or not the owner has been honest about the value of the property when obtaining a loan - ala OUR PRESIDENT and the Westchester County property the NY AG is moaning and groaning about!
The AG has shown that she understands absolutely nothing about buying property or the lending business and it doesn’t phase her. If I’m not mistaken, an “oppressed” person who wasn’t allowed to get an equal education or opportunity!

Hasbro. Also home of the transgender Mr Potato Head. I’m sensing Hasbro has been infected with SJWs.
How about “Take over your neighborhood street, and set up an autonomous zone,” “Loot and burn down you local Starbucks,” “Attack and set fire to your police precinct,” or “Throw Molotov cocktails at police cars,” and “Get out of jail with no cash bail,” and/or “Commit crimes, and not get charged.”
