Monopoly is a great game to occupy your kids for hours with intelligent strategical plotting. I remember playing the game with my brother almost every time guests came over, and thinking that it would never end.

These [playing cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-deal-kpop-demon-hunters) give the [popular game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbros-monopoly) an extra twist, as they feature lines such as “You’ve won second place in a beauty contest. Next year, sleep with more judges” and “Pay an undisclosed sum to have allegations dropped” to an image of Mr. Monopoly patting a young boy on the head.

As an adult, I would play monopoly more if the cards had saying like these ones!
