Someone at Hasbro apparently thought Monopoly for Millennials was a great idea
Someone really though a millennial version of Monopoly might be a fun idea.
The very bitter people behind the board game known for tearing apart friend groups and getting children written out of wills released an especially cursed version of the game titled Monopoly For Millennials.
In this version of the game, players don't buy up properties — because what IRL millennial can afford to buy houses when they're too busy spending their money on avocado toast, right? Instead the game employs tired stereotypes of younger generations, as players buy "experiences" like going to the Vegan Bistro or crashing on their Friend's Couch. Skip the Boardwalk in favor of a Week-Long Meditation Retreat!
You win the game when you rack up the most Experiences. According to the game description, the board also includes Chance and Community Chest cards "which are super relatable."
"This board game is a great way to bring a fun and relaxed vibe to a party or a casual get-together," the description claims. Alternatively: it's a great way to send your friends spiraling over their crushing student loan debt.
Speaking of loans, whoever has the most debt gets to roll first. Yikes.
The game pieces include a hashtag, so you know this board game was created by a Fellow Kid.
Naturally millennials on Twitter are pretty annoyed by the release. After all, the game doesn't include typical millennial experiences like trying to live without healthcare or dealing with a rapidly declining job market as older generations refuse to retire.

Should you actually want to play this cursed game, you can find it at Walmart for $19.82. Or you could just treat yourself to brunch, instead.
