Ms. Monopoly will give female players more money, other advantages

Published September 10, 2019 3:46pm ET



The Hasbro toy company announced on Tuesday that they would be introducing a new version of the classic Monopoly board game that would give female players certain advantages through gameplay.

In traditional Monopoly, players receive $200 for passing “Go,” each turn around the board. In Ms. Monopoly, female players will get $240 while their male counterparts will still receive the traditional $200. Female participants will also receive a larger stipend at the beginning of the game than the male players. Hasbro, which has touted the game as the first of its kind, said men can still win the game through clever play. They described Ms. Monopoly as “a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” a Hasbro statement said. “But don’t worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too.”
