Borderline offensive.
Last week, we shared the full list of locations in the new edition of Dublin Monopoly, and how much each of them cost.
It’s a fun take on the classic board game, and we can see why a group of friends would enjoy playing a game that includes the places that they see and spend time in every day.
We reckon it will be a hit at Christmas time in particular.
But Monopoly for Millennials, not so much…
According to Hasbro’s official description of the game, the game is all about racking up as many experiences as possible.
“Instead of collecting as much cash as possible, players are challenged to rack up the most Experiences to win. Travel around the gameboard discovering and visiting cool places to eat, shop, and relax. Interact with other players via Chance and Community Chest cards, (which are super relatable).
“And players don’t pay rent — they visit one another, earning more Experience points. This board game is a great way to bring a fun and relaxed vibe to a party or casual get-together.”
Or just a constant reminder of the loans hovering over our heads.
And we’re not even joking about this, but the official tagline of the game is “Forget real estate, you can’t afford it anyway.”
Thanks for the reminder, folks.
The game got quite a negative response online from Millennials, so we can only assume it’s not going to be on top of many people’s Christmas lists.
