Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition

Board Games No Comments »

Have you seen the Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition? It looks pretty cool. All money transactions are handled through an in-game debt card, so when you have land for sale you will swipe your card to receive money from the sale. You will also swipe your card when you pay for land, buy a house, or pay taxes.

The paper money in Monopoly has always been very cumbersome for me to manage. It always seems to shift under the board when I have it laid out in stacks. It becomes quite unbearable, so I am glad to see this new “twist” to Monopoly.

I don’t get to play Monopoly that much but this electronic banking edition really has me looking forward to playing it again.

No Wii Today

Luckily there was no Wii at Wal-Mart today. I was having a weak moment and probably would have bought one. Even more reason to buy a Wii is that my niece has one and loves it. Now I know someone else that loves the Wii.

It will probably be Tuesday before Wiis are in again. Hopefully I can hold out another week. My plan for buying a Wii should be complete in a few days, which will be good news because then I will have made the extra money to buy it and not feel guilty.

Good news is that I did find a cache of PSOne games that I haven’t played in quite a long time. Now to find the PS2, and hopefully time will pass until I am ready to buy a Wii.
