Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass “go,” while male players will collect the usual 200. Something we can definitely get behind.
While Mr Monopoly is a real-estate mogul, Ms Monopoly is an advocate whose mission is to invest in female entrepreneurs. Hitting Australian shelves this November, Ms Monopoly gives new meaning to the franchise, as properties are replaced by groundbreaking inventions and innovations, that have been made possible by women throughout history. Double yes! From inventions like WiFi to the DNA model, solar heating and modern shapewear, Ms Monopoly celebrates everything from scientific advancements to everyday accessories – all created by women. Ms. Monopoly is an advocate whose mission is to invest in female entrepreneurs.
And instead of building houses and hotels, players build business headquarters. The iconic playing pieces have also been given a makeover, with players choosing from a glass, white hat, notebook, pen, jet plane, watch and a barbell.
Excuse us while we call an emergency game night.
