sheeeeeeeeeeeesh. That IS lame!

May as well come with a book of credit applications so they can learn how to fill those out, too. Maybe even the paperwork to file for bankruptcy??

You can increase the money supply with ease now, so much more realistic haha.

It just won't be the same without money, next will be Yahtzee going digital instead of score cards and dice.

Next, they'll just ACTUALLY start taking you to jail and REALLY collecting luxury tax when you get those krappy 'chance cards"

LOL....

Or they'll have a stack of cards for lawyers so you can get out of jail.(not free) LOL!
