Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, debuted the updated version at the 2010 Toy Fair in New York City last week. The classic board game isn&#8217;t really a board game anymore &#8212; it is being relaunched with a circular board,  and in a sign of the times, with no cash. Monopoly now features a chip and pin credit card that has to be swiped on the central console. Gone, too, are the game&#8217;s classic metal playing pieces. They&#8217;ve been replaced with engraved plastic slabs.<\/p>\n<p>The new Monopoly arrives in stores later this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/www.popcrunch.com\/monopoly-75th-anniversary-comes-with-circular-makeover-no-cash\/new-monopoly-gama\/' title='New Monopoly Game'><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.popcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/New-Monopoly-Gama-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"New Monopoly Game\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.popcrunch.com\/monopoly-75th-anniversary-comes-with-circular-makeover-no-cash\/new-monopoly-game-unveiled\/' title='New Monopoly Game Unveiled'><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.popcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/New-Monopoly-Game-Unveiled-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"New Monopoly Game Unveiled\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.popcrunch.com\/monopoly-75th-anniversary-comes-with-circular-makeover-no-cash\/new-monopoly-75th-anniversary-edition\/' title='New Monopoly 75th Anniversary Edition'><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.popcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/New-Monopoly-75th-Anniversary-Edition-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"New Monopoly 75th Anniversary Edition\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pocket-lint.com\/news-gallery\/31127\/monopoly-75th-anniversary-edition-announced\/1#image\">Spotted@<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-jJYhg3dbbzOh_C0EmTO53W6Q00\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-jJYhg3dbbzOh_C0EmTO53W6Q00\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-jJYhg3dbbzOh_C0EmTO53W6Q00\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-jJYhg3dbbzOh_C0EmTO53W6Q00\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monopoly is celebrating its 75th Anniversary with a facelift.
