Everyone has played the legendary game Monopoly at some points. Numerous versions have been released over the years, but Hasbro just released what many are calling the best version of the game ever.

“Forget real estate. You can’t afford it anyway,” the game’s tagline reads, with the box adding, “Adulting is hard. You deserve a break from the rat race.” The box even includes Uncle Pennybags taking a selfie!
Since players in this version of monopoly are too broke to buy real estate, they buy “experiences” instead! These experiences include things like going to the Vegan Bistro, crashing on a Friend’s Couch, or embarking on a Week-Long Meditation Retreat. The player who ends up with the most experiences wins the game.
“Collect Experience points by visiting the hottest Destinations,” the game’s description reads the Amazon. “IT’S ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE: In this version of the Monopoly game, the player who collects the most Experience — not the most money — wins the game.”
Millennials have quickly taken to Twitter to talk about how “offended” they are by this game.
“Hasbro, can you provide the URL for the Hasbro-official website featuring ‘Monopoly for Millennials,’ where you trash on my age demographic because baby boomers caused an economic catastrophe that rendered us financially impotent for a decade? Thanks!” one user wrote, another adding, “Next, Monopoly for Baby Boomers: where you buy property for below value price, only people of color go to jail, and when you pass “Go” you get to complain about Millennials!!!”
