MONOPOLY FOR CHEATERS

Because everyone already cheats when playing Monopoly, Hasbro is bringing out an official Monopoly: Cheaters Edition. In this new edition, there will be a real handcuff included, which will be slapped onto the person who’s in jail. In addition to that, there will be 15 Cheaters Cards that will encourage you to do all sorts of cheating, such as pocketing more from the bank when you pass Go, try to stick a hotel piece on one of your properties without anyone watching, remove a hotel piece from another player’s property, or shortchanging another player when you pay rent. Players get rewarded and reprimanded based on whether they complete the cheat or not. If you’re successful then you might get some extra cash from the bank or ruin someone else’s turn, but if you get caught you might have to pay a fine or even take yourself to jail.
* “Monopoly: Cheaters Edition. Shoplift one today!”
* They got the cheating idea from watching Wall Street banking firms.
* Is it still cheating if you buy the Cheaters Edition but don’t follow the rules for cheating?
* You could buy this new version, or just break out the booze the next time you play. Same game.
* What a fine, fine example of gamesmanship for today’s youth.
