World's most boring board game to get even worse


Did you ever think, while playing Monopoly, that you were just going around in circles wondering when this game would ever end? Of course, if you were the devious sort, you could always throw the dice off the table near one of the other players and when that player bent over to retrieve the errant cubes, swipe some of the money he had accumulated or remove a house from one of his properties.

The folks at Hasbro, who devised this cure for insomnia, has decided to take even that one joy out of the game, although it is recognizing the "going around in circles bit." Later this year, the Hasbro hellions will unveil their new Monopoly game board (pictured here), replacing the square board with a cleaner, more compact, round one and replacing the money with (what else?) credit cards. Each player will receive a credit card that will be adjusted by that gizmo you see there in the middle of the board.

I'm tellin' ya: How much fun is that!
