Classic board game Monopoly is set to get a makeover - including a round board and electronic banking.
Monopoly Revolution - which will be released later this year - is being released to mark the 75th anniversary of the famous Charles Darrow game.
And it's not just the shape of the board which has changed, property prices have also been updated - for example it now costs £4m to snap up Mayfair, compared to £400.
Keeping track of the millions changing hands is now done on an electronic unit that serves as banker, die and music player. Makers say this better reflects our cashless society.
Obvious this introduce one significant drawback with the new game… it's now a lot harder to cheat. Jane Ritson-Parsons, Global Brand Leader for Monopoly. "As Monopoly has truly become the world’s favorite family game brand, and is a part of pop culture, we are pleased to celebrate our anniversary by offering new Monopoly entertainment experiences for families around the world."
