Woke Monopoly: New Version Has Women Making More than Men

Have you noticed that many of the old games you used to play as a familyhave been “upgraded”?

Hasbro, for example, just released its newest version of Monopoly this week — and this edition is “woke.”

The edition, called Ms. Monopoly, has a feminist mascot.

“While Mr. Monopoly is a real-estate mogul, Ms. Monopoly is an advocate whose mission is to invest in female entrepreneurs,” the company said in a statement.

It’s the first time in history the iconic game has had a different symbol other than the top-hat, money-carrying man.

Also, traditional playing pieces like the battleship and race car have been replaced by new tokens — such as a notebook and pen, a jet and a watch.

And now, the company is striking a blow against the patriarchy. In Ms. Monopoly, female players make more money.

Female players will collect $240 when they pass “Go” — while males will collect the traditional $200. The box brags this is the first game in which women make more than men.
