Huh? TIL Monopoly Go exists.

Apparently it’s super successful. Has made $3 billion within a year.

Wtf? Who even plays monopoly? Is this some wild money laundering scheme?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's only the game Monopoly in that it shares the same name and uses a Monopoly board... It's a completely different game, and it sucks.
