Is This The Cruelest Gag Gift Of Holiday 2018?
Before any baby boomers start yapping about how millennials are too sensitive, please take a class in sarcasm, then consider wrapping up a gag gift or two to the beloved millennials in your life to help them build a thicker skin this holiday season. Trust me, we need it (picking up on my sarcastic tone? Good, we're getting somewhere.)
Hasbro's Monopoly for Millennials board game, for example, is the perfectly cruel, yet oh so hilarious game completely dividing the Internet, especially Twitter. With the tagline "Forget real estate. You can't afford it anyway"-ouch-the game encourages players to step back from life since "adulting is hard" and play a game where the person who wins does not have the most money, but the most experiences.
Though, of course, players will receive money when others visit the destinations they discovered first, what really matters in The Game of Life this party game is collecting experience points by visiting various destinations. Some of these destinations include your "Friend's Couch," a "Vegan Bistro," or one "Week-Long Meditation Retreat."
If you're not rolling your eyes while simultaneously crying of laughter at both how basic and painfully real this is (come on, we all know at least one annoying person who this reminds us of, right?), I don't even know. But, you're welcome for giving you the best holiday gift to contribute to your Secret Santa gift exchange-everyone will be fighting over this.
For an even better laugh, see how people are tweeting #millennialmonopoly, it's a classic mix of those who are offended and those who will gladly purchase because it's just so over-the-top:
"Pass go and collect 200.......then give 180 back for bills"
Community Chest: "Make student loan payment of 300"
Chance: "Get pestered by adults for not having children and a house by 27, pay stress tax"

I am going to hurry up and order it for my daughter before they yank it off the shelves because the millennials can’t handle it. #MillennialMonopoly

I know it's expected I be offended by #MillennialMonopoly, but c'mon. It's pretty funny. “Forget real estate. You can’t afford it anyway.” | https://t.co/MKTj5p4h1J @Hasbro @PRDaily
