Default Millennial Monopoly. . . not sure if this belongs in IF?

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

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...ls/2003129002/
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

That's just weird. I understand the regional Monopoly versions, but I don't understand varying the basic gameplay.
But I didn't grow up with Monopoly anyway, we just had the game Rich Uncle in my house. That could be kind of cool with new newspaper stories, including "millennial" ones. But don't really understand this Monopoly version. And the tone doesn't seem dignified enough.

I wouldn't expect Monopoly to teach financial sense. You get paid just for going around the board.

I think it's funny. I wouldn't buy it, but I think it's funny.

Every generation has been mocked when those people were in their teens and twenties.

It just seems...pointlessly mean.

As you say, there are ways you could re-frame the game to reflect the new economy and how young people live within it Like renting property until you can buy a house but you still need to loan that house out to Airbnb for X months per year to pay the mortgage, or buying a car that earns you money as a Lyft driver but costs you money in upkeep, or juggling contract work with tax and health insurance payments, or basically any of the ways that MANY millennials live their lives Plus options for trade school vs. traditional college vs. no college, and what kind of debt/choices each of those afford to players.

I should clarify. I think it's funny because t I know Millennials that joke about "maybe some day I'll own something." Because they rent and don't see that ever changing. They subscribe to things and change their decor frequently vs their mothers who have had the same sofa for 40 years. I think it's funny in that it's good to be able to laugh at yourself. Not that I laugh at Millennials. And I don't think it's good that older people always say that the younger generation is going to hell in a handbasket.

Not everything about the olden days was good. Not everything about the newest generation is bad. But I do think it's good to laugh at our circumstances.

ETA: Amazon is 4% of all retail (internet + physical stores), but 44% when you're looking only at e-commerce.

It's a great business ploy but it's still a house of cards. All it will take is for a competitor or two to undercut them in cloud services. Not my cup of tea but someone will do it eventually.

The old monopolies are crumbling (except the ones the federal government bails out) and the new ones are emerging. Amazon will crumble one day, too.

In fact, IF I am going to play a different version I would want it to be actually different. Assuming of course the different is fun and has a point. I have no idea if the new Millennial Monopoly is a good game despite* or in addition* to the Millennial theme but am ok with the varying of it as long as it works.



Oh and Pirates Life varies came play and we all love that game but don't like the traditional game of Life.



*despite or in addition: depending on how you feel about the theme

Mentioning Microsoft as a minor player in cloud services shows how quickly the modern economy changes.

Twenty years ago, there was no talk of the cloud. Microsoft was huge, you couldn't do business without doing business with Microsoft. Apple was a very minor player and only in small business. Apple never got in to servers and databases on a large scale.

Now, Microsoft is fading. Maybe they'll find a new niche. But huge corporations, including the one my dh works for, are dropping Microsoft. They've realized how much money they can save by not paying Microsoft's high license fees. They're going with Linux based companies.

All it took was for a few bright entrepreneurs to notice a few cracks in Microsoft's tank and find a better way.

At the last Red Hat convention, Microsoft had a table. !!!! They paid money to rent space at the big convention of a company that was once a little upstart, a gnat in their eye.

Amazon will meet their Red Hat one day. I'm not worried about they market share today. It will change.

That sounds more like the Game of Life. I crack up when I hear my kids play that one. (not that specific, but same sort of thing..making choices like go to school but leave with 100,000 in debt or get a job as something right away.

I expect it is just a "fun" parody. There are a lot of awful parody games now. We were looking for actual games around Christmas, and a ton of them have these parody versions. Like there was one Clue game that sounded awful about trying to figure out what actually happened on Las Vegas. Ick!

Wait, I can’t keep furniture for forty years because *it doesn’t last that long*

We have to replace our appliances more often. Most accessible clothing is also trash after a few months or maybe a year. Honestly nothing lasts.

I’m a millennial who owns three houses, three cars, is caring for a baby boomer, and would love to see Hasbro file bankruptcy after such a snotty, pretentious move. Boomers broke the economy, and the environment, the maternal mortality rate has gone up, and I couldn’t even finish college because my sensitivities to red 40, yellow 5, and so forth victimized me and left me nonfunctional.

Essentially, if life is a house, millennials were given the bathroom with the clogged toilet. Gross and who made this mess and why do I have to smell it for the rest of forever, while the boomers with the golden plunger hang out in the lounge with their cigarettes and statins while gen x is in the kitchen whipping up a big jaded batch of noodleroni.
