BREAKING NEWS – Pawtucket, Rhode Island – One of America’s most recognizable board games is getting an upgrade. Hasbro is debuting a new game celebrating women’s empowerment — Ms. Monopoly, marking the first time in Monopoly history when a new mascot will be featured on the cover of the game. The twist? In Ms. Monopoly, female players will get more money. Unlike the classic game, women will collect $240 when they pass “go,” while male players will collect the usual $200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro. It’s “a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” the company said in a statement. “But don’t worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too. The usual five tokens will be replaced with a divorce lawyer, a sugar daddy, a man that’s at least 20 years younger than the cougar female player, a cook book that’s never been opened, and a vacuum cleaner that’s never been plugged up.”
