Cheating again? This time, your board game knows. This fall Hasbro will release Monopoly Live, a digitally guided spin on the classic game. A tower sits at the center of the board, presiding over game play with Sauron-like omniscience. And that’s not all that’s changed. In this latest version, there are no dice, no iconic paper currency. Instead, players hold their hand over their game piece while the game “rolls” for you and announces your next move. Trying to sneak away from that nasty “Go to jail” square? The game announces your error. As for the fiscal role-play, each player is issued a plastic bankcard that digitally tracks your funds for you, which means no more chance to pool your winnings sky high as your opponents look on in jealous defeat.
