Actually it's the other way around. It gives female players a boost to earn more than male players.

Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro.

It's absurd and getting disliked to hell on Hasbro's official video for it. They cut off the comments, wisely, but they knew they screwed up.

Imagine getting the extra money and still losing in the game.

I would play it just to beat others and make them feel bad.

Oh, never mind. I see how you're using it.

I was thinking like "male players are given a handicap against females".

A game about how capitalism and greed can fuck over everybody, but some women just have to make it all about them.

Just identify as a woman for the session of monopoly and watch as your females friends are powerless to stop you.

Imagine being a woman in the workforce and watching a bunch of dudes get pissed off over the wage gap in a board game. We really do live in a society.

I personally think it damages the credibility of legitimate wage gap debates that it's supposed to spark.

"Putting the shoe on the other foot" never made the gulf any smaller, it just turns the argument on its head. It's still the same argument.

Given what happened with Socialism Monopoly, I'm kind of surprised that people seem so eager to see this. It's clearly not going to end well.

so with all the ridiculous concepts in a game literally made to show off the frustrating unfairness of its represented systems, this is the thing that gets people mad?

So I can't actually confirm that they just outsourced the game development to Rand Paul's campaign staff, but it's plausible.
