Millennials can't even with the new Monopoly, where players collect experiences

They should replace jail with a hospital, and instead of being behind bars you stay in bed for several turns and come out owing tens of thousands in medical debt that you have to pay off over the course of several decades. Also you can no longer work and have to live off disability.
The two things boomers love to do the most are give kids participation trophies so their parents can feel better about themselves, and be angry at the idea that those participation trophies might make the kids feel better about themselves.
The next edition of monopoly will just have a bunch of cardboard buildings that you set on fire.
looks too complex
now THIS is a board game that is easy to learn hard to master and is known by seemingly no one

It doesn't fucking matter how well of an environment they grew up in or how "emasculated" the men are, if people are working themselves to the bone just to barely get by with basically no chance of moving up
in the world people are gonna snap eventually.
Dude chill the fuck out I am just making a dumb apocalyptic joke about the troublesome state of the world at the moment regardless of its accuracy.
Of the myriad tropes millenials have been described with, The Participation Trophy is quite possibly the dumbest one, because it doesn't even acknowledge the fact that it's the parents of millenial children, not the children themselves, who demand participation rewards.
When i saw this, I was really expecting this to be fake.
This time line is so many forms of fucked up.
Hey bud, you first.
i see you're a history major
What a crock of shit. Insulting when you consider that Monopoly was created as a piece of biting social satire that continues to go misinterpreted and misunderstood by the literal comic book villains at Hasbro. Which only puts the joke even more on their stupid asses.
Yeah, it's definitely got a learning curve to it but once the learning is out of the way it becomes a whole lotta fun. It's a question of how much time someone is willing to invest in order to understand a game and then have fun with it. I think the same concept applies to video games, for example games like Stellaris, Hearts of Iron, Civ V, Total War games, etc. To each their own ofc.
Also you're correct, I've never heard of that game you mentioned. :P
I have a very distinct memory of receiving what was effectively a participation trophy when I was in little league, and rejecting it because I was aware of how awful I was at baseball, and knew that I didn't do anything worth receiving a trophy for. My dad insisted that I take it. I never asked for it because a participation trophy is extremely obvious "you didn't really do anything meaningful but we don't want to hurt your feelings" award. I really don't understand how these "haha stupid millennials and their participation medals" people actually imagine this going down. Do they think children asked for them? Why is this a criticism of a generation that had something happen to them, instead of a criticism of the parenting of the generation that gave these out?
You know that the term millenial also covers factory workers, welders, soldiers, police officers, firemen, etc.? I don't disagree about the ironic background of some protesters, but the generalization you're making is laughable.
I feel like the response to this is a pretty inline with the caricature. At the end of the day, it's easier and more productive to ignore this shit and pretend it doesn't exist. Does more to avoid more it then they will suffer with abysmal sales.
you're so fucking cringy lmao
Judging people based on their avatars is greatly undesirable unless it is literally a butthole.
fucking idiot liking things I don't!!!!!
Yes he's sure
Because success for new products in the toy industry is heavily geared toward whether or not you sell out.
You really didn't wait long to prove his point did you?
hot take: your hot takes are bad
Knob off, you tosser.
Imagine being so incapable of defending yourself that your response to "you're so fucking cringy lmao" amounts to nothing more than a brainless "no u!!!"

I couldn't find the reaction image I wanted for this, so I made my own version.
I giggled when I saw this version of Monopoly.
Honestly, why would anybody care enough to get upset at a board game that's designed to make all but one of its players impoverished? I just see it making jokes based on its very own premise that have parallels to today's real world.
Millennials can't have anything when most of the worlds real estate is owned by very few.
Its doing a poor job of being funny beyond making a joke similar to "pokemon go to the polls".
Which Monopoly is this Mr. Moneybags gonna be in?
