Modernizing Classic Games Edit
Monopoly: Recession Edition Plays on Hard Times


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



During a recession, it’s always good to see someone come up with some ‘reality with a twist’ entertainment to ease the tension. Monopoly: Recession Edition is a fabulously funny way to show indications of the current economic state.

Monopoly has been a popular pastime for decades, and we have seen some unique enhancements to the family favorite over the years, but none as outwardly bold as this gem.

The Monopoly: Recession Edition has foreclosed properties, crashing stocks and ghastly taxes. But if you manage to pass Go, you can collect an unemployment benefit.

So turn off the television (if your cable company hasn’t already) and gather the family in the living room for a rousing game of Monopoly: Recession Edition. (billshrink)
