Monopoly in an electronic avatar, with a wicked Tower!

Remember the memoirs of a good’ol days of Christmas Eve, when you used to puddle a fight with your sibling for checking out your cards secretly or swaying away some money underhand?! If not, remember the flash glimpses of our dear Mr. Monopoly or Rich Uncle Pennybags, clothed in a morning dress with a walking cane and tip hat, all blazed upon the checker board?

Well the latest is that this ‘most played board game’ in the world is now more crooked and evil than ever as it goes electronic with Monopoly Live. While it comes at a little extra price, as you need to shed $50 for the latest version as compared to $15 for the original masterpiece, but what makes it all the more grabbing is an all-seeing 10-inch electronic tower.

This tower not only dons the infrared lights but also has a camera that detects the reflectors on the game piece. Powered by 4AA batteries, the tower also announces some on-the-spot events like a horse race, gas tax, up gradations or even auctions.

What’s more? It even recalls the money maintained by a player and never malfunctions. A little wonder though, isn't it a bit no-fun scene without the cheat code actually!
