Hasbro have just released a cheaters version of Monopoly for those of you who just can’t help but cheat when playing lovely family games about fake real estate.
Ya bunch of ruiners.
Jonathan Berkowitz, senior vice president of Hasbro, explained:
“A recent study conducted by Hasbro revealed nearly half of game players attempt to cheat during Monopoly games, so in 2018, we decided it was time to give fans what they’ve been craving all along – a Monopoly game that actually encourages cheating,” he told Insider.
In the cheaters edition, players must aim to get away with cheating as many times as they can during the game.
They can:
Stealing money from the bank
Placing a hotel on one of your pieces of property
Removing a hotel from someone else’s property
Taking an extra $100 in Monopoly money from the bank when you pass go.
Moving another player’s token instead of your own on your turn.
Giving someone less money than you owe them.
Collecting rent for someone else’s property
The best part?
If a player gets away with a cheat, they’re not punished, they’re rewarded.
That being said, if they get caught, there are consequences. The back of the cheat cards shows a list of rewards and punishments for each cheat:
Here’s another bombshell for ya:
For the first time in Monopoly history, there is no designated Banker.
Instead, players are in control of the Bank on their turn, and pass it to the next player when their turn is over, making it easier to pull off ‘cheats’, such as a the Bank Heist.
