SOCIALISM: The Game is an unofficial expansion of the official Hasbro Monopoly game. SOCIALISM: The Game consists of an enlightened rule-book, a quick-reference card, 20 “Fat Chance” and 20 “Communism Chest” cards, and 4 new game tokens. The object of SOCIALISM: The Game is not to "win," but instead, is to achieve total fairness and equality through the renting and selling of property under a modern, progressive, and populist public policy.

NOTE: Requires a copy of Hasbro’s MONOPOLY to play.

Hasbro Has a New 'Monopoly: Socialism' Game and Socialists Are Not Happy

http://pjmedia.com/trending/hasbro-has-a-new-monopoly-socialism-game-and-socialists-are-not-happy/

A few weeks ago, my wife and I took a deep breath and then reluctantly replied "sure" to our kids' request that we play Monopoly for family game night. As most of us can attest, Monopoly requires a level of commitment that no family game night should require, and it's not really that fun to begin with. Hasbro's new "Monopoly: Socialism," though, sounds like a hoot and a great way to continue to teach my kids why socialism is for the math-, economics-, and history-challenged among us.

. . . Skip a bunch . . .

And, Nick, by the time I read, "when you pass go, you get a $50 'living wage,' which was presumably reduced from the usual $200 to emphasize that 'socialism makes everyone poorer' or somesuch," I knew that I would be making a patriarchal rule that the only game played in my house on game night henceforth will be Hasbro's Monopoly: Socialism. Thanks to your Twitter meltdown, I get to incorporate both fun and education into family game night.
