His take is pretty much BFH’s take.
[…] But I must confess, I was deeply dismayed to read about the sudden banishment of honest work from the Monopoly board. And I was doubly dismayed by their duly elected replacements – a rubber ducky, a penguin, and a dinosaur. That’s right – we didn’t just eliminate three iconic tokens of work – we supplanted them with a baby’s toy, an over-dressed bird, and a dead lizard.

approved by snowflakes everywhere.
The Penguin is the Linux mascot… Nahhh… Doesn’t help…
I guess I can identify with the dinosaur because I are one.

Nobody mentions the new rules. The object of the game is for the other three players to redistribute the money of the player who owns the most property.
Okay, really, who plays monopoly now?
We always called it Monotony.
The penguin needs a microsoft juicebox and a straw, the duck should be replaced with a figurine of a Kim Jong Un in a strait-jacket and Mediterranean Avenue should be changed to Overbrook Lunatic Asylum.
Who’s driving the train? Hasbro seems to want to make the customer at fault for them blowback against the new figures, “it’s what they wanted and voted for”.
But who made the decision to change the Monopoly figures in the first place? I’m looking at you, Hasbro.
Warning: Try to avoid having your Monopoly figure land on the same square as the new dildo token.
The lizard is not a game piece. It just crawled inside the box and died.
