The new Monopoly Revolution features a modern [circular playing surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pass-n-go-164) perfect for travel. Compact and sleek, Monopoly Revolution is the first design in the game’s 75-year history to feature a completely new board.

All the traditional game playing features remain the same, but the Monopoly Revolution also includes ‘here and now’ pricing, an [electronic game pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board) that tracks players’ money (no more corrupt bankers) and sound effects and song clips. Monopoly Revolution will be available in Fall 2010 for $35.
