Eco-Friendly Monopoly

by Darren

Everyone loves “Monopoly”, the board game where you can learn the ruthless nature of business, overcome the odds, and go on to become filthy rich. So how can such a classic game be improved upon? Well, for folks in Canada, the answer is a much more eco-friendly version of the game.

The 73-year-old game is clearing the board of Water Works and Electric Company and replacing them with the more eco-friendly Wind Energy and Solar Energy in its forthcoming Monopoly Here & Now: World Edition.

“We just felt they were a little dated,” Hasbro Canada spokeswoman Marisa Pedatella said.

There’s no need to fret if you’re a purist of the game. Hasbro continues to sell their flagship version, unchanged, for those who aren’t interested in modernization.

At last, you can become a ruthless Monopolist, and stay green at the same time.
