Hasbro Has Released A ‘Millennials’ Edition Of Monopoly And It’s As Ridiculous As It Sounds

Millennials are responsible for killing a lot of things: cheese, divorce, razors, tipping, big beer, retirement, pretty much everything.

Here’s the game’s description on Amazon…

• MONOPOLY FOR MILLENNIALS GAME: Adulting is hard; take a break from the rat race with this edition of the Monopoly game.

• PARTY BOARD GAME: This Monopoly game is a great choice for Millennials who need a break from the life of adulting; great for parties and get-togethers.

• CHOOSE COOL PLACES AND DESTINATIONS: Collect Experience points by visiting the hottest Destinations — from your Friend’s Couch, to the Vegan Bistro, to a Week-Long Meditation Retreat.

Because that is the only logical explanation I can come up with for why anyone there thought this Monopoly For Millennials board game was a good idea.

After reading all of that do I really need to tell you that reactions to the game have not been very good?
