It's really really rubbing me wrong

We played traditional monopoly as a family last night

(Love how my teens wanna play with their parents) BUT my dh said "hey we should get Millennials monopoly" so we can have an update and everyone was like

Until dd1 googled it. Everyone else had gone to bed but me. somehow millennium monopoly doesn't set right with me

I believe it's mocking for sure
"Monopoly for Millennials — the recently released version of the classic board game — centers around the often-mocked generation of people born between 1981 and 1996. The cover features "Monopoly" icon Rich Uncle Pennybags with a cup of coffee, earbuds and a medal labeled "participation." The tagline on the cover reads: "Forget real estate. You can't afford it anyway. "

I was hoping for something less mocking and more realistic to teach valuable lessons like paying with debit all the time or having no bank account or huge house payments and car payments, etc. NEEDING practical schooling w low debt to survive. Etc. BUT maybe that is the game of life for Millenials. Or maybe I should invent a game

Is this the right forum for this? Mods feel free to move
