Is it on purpose, or just simple coincidence that the newest version of the classic game Monopoly comes out at a time when academics and central bankers are calling in unison for the end of cash? Because the new Monopoly: Ultimate Banking version is one that is played without cash, and is completely electronic where property, wealth, and taxation is controlled from a central point using a form of debit card as the interface.

Oh my...

definitely could be purposeful, but it also might be so the most recent generation that grew up with plastic as money and calculators in every math class are actually able to play.

And that's just another cog of the same master plan to confuse the masses as to what is honest money.

It is an interesting look into their mindset, but I doubt if a board game will make any real impact on the public consciousness. Older people won't like the changes and millennials will wonder why they can't download the app on the their smart phones.
The game in the form of a smart phone app would make more sense.
