Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
According to Hasbro, in a recent survey of 2,000 people, almost half reported incidents of cheating during games of Monopoly. So to combat this problem, the company has launched the Monopoly CheatBot on Facebook Messenger. Answer a few questions about the problem player and how they cheated and Mr. Monopoly will generate a penalty card. For example, a player who steals from the bank may be sent to the Monopoly jail or someone who fails to pay rent will have to pay a $200 fine.
Cute. But Purple Pawn’s recommendation on how to deal with cheaters is simply not to play with them.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
…or not get caught?! ;)
Wait, two thousand people still admit to playing Monopoly?
Seriously though, that’s a lot of cheating. But this seems sorta like an encouragement to cheat. If nobody cheats, you can’t use the new app.
