Monopoly for Millennials: A Classic, Remixed

January 15, 2019 By Emma

Monopoly for Millennials

Millennials are the new grown kids on the block these days, and Hasbro, the company behind the classic Monopoly game launched a new version of this popular board game that speaks directly to the Millennial market, featuring special characteristics to differentiate it from its origins.

Monopoly for Millennials has been designed specifically for those born between 1981 and 2000, with slightly revised rules, a new cover, and plenty of the stereotypes that the generational group is known for.

The re-imagined box includes Mr. Monopoly himself posing for a selfie, complete with headphones over his head, a cup of coffee in his hand, and a participation medal in the other, with the tagline: ‘forget real estate, you can’t afford it anyway’. Instead of the traditional method of bankrupting your foes, this version asks that players collect experiences in lieu o property. Examples include visiting a friend and having a conversation on their couch, meeting for vegan bistro, or even a meditation sanctuary retreat. Experiences to be had by players of this version include spending time in the parent’s basement, bargain thrift shopping, and organic living at the farmers’ market. Other notable new entries include hashtags and crying emojis as the game pieces.

This is a very different version than GenX and Baby Boomer’s editions, which were all about the accumulation of wealth and real estate. Players are also nudged into finding the next best place for foodies to indulge in the latest entrees, shopping at exclusive locales, and community involvement.

The sticker price for this new revamped experience goes for just under $20, the perfect price point for Millennials to indulge in a game that has managed to survive across several generations with no signs of slowing down. And for traditionalists, the game still includes the classic ‘go to jail’ space for old time’s sake.

2016 Primary Recap – New Hampshire

February 14, 2016 By Emma

Clinton and Sanders
Clinton and Sanders

New Hampshire formally kicked off the primary season and while Donald Trump handily won the GOP primary there, Bernie Sanders ended up crushing frontwoman Hillary Clinton. It is possible that since Sanders and Trump are viewed as many to be outsiders, this could have worked in their favour, but Clinton and Sanders received more total votes, which is a sign about the bigger picture concerning the election.

In 2nd place was John Kasich, a surprise of sorts considering his mainstream appeal. On the DNC side, many didn’t think Clinton stood a chance up north, and in Iowa she merely squeaked by with a win by 1%. Clinton vowed to do better by Millennials that mainly support Sanders and are embracing socialism as a major platform. Millennials are staunchly in the Dems’ corner, and with Trump seen as a one-hit wonder, the rhetoric is what ultimately will decide fates.
