In 75 long years, the game of Monopoly has seen a lot of tweaks, but nothing like the 2010 edition unveiled at Toy Fair. The game board is now round, and the famous paper dollar bills have been replaced by a credit card. Players now collect $2 million when passing "GO" instead of $200, and the die and decks of cards have been replaced with an electronic card scanner. Will it be dust, or magic? A Toy Fair preview is here.

I love games, so I will probably buy this latest version. However, due to the large dollar amounts and the abstract concepts of money associated with credit cards, I think this version may appeal more to preteens and teenagers.
