I was gonna say… grandpa? Okay technically at 50 I could be my brother for sure as he had his kids way earlier than I did and I am on the cusp of EARLY GenX. Not sure how many Millenials could have 20 years in the military already and be grandparents before 40.

If they joined at 18, they’d have 20 years by 38, so easily. Plus, plenty of people have kids in their teens… and if they’re kids have kids in their teens… grandparents!
If you’re 50, you’re a full on Gen Xer, because I’m a full on Gen Xer at 41.

This is adorably out-of-touch nonsense.
Seeing as all us millennials are socialists anyway, they should have just reissued the original “landlords game” version of monopoly.

Well, let me just say that Monopoly has a special place in my heart. Bitter, burnt, charcoal black.

Older generations destroyed your job security, the economy, and the country in general, so now you have to struggle harder than they ever did. And now they’re shaming and mocking you for it. Hilarious!
When I saw this book for sale, I thought it was a bit over-the-top, but it seems more apt every day.

I can’t tell if this is tone deaf marketing, or the most straight faced satire in a long, long time.

You think they are rolling or spinning? Lots of their games used spinners…
Which boomers are you talking about? The ones who pushed civil rights, pushed the voting age down to 18 and started the lgbt rights movement?
Which milenials are you talking about? Richard Spencer? Milo? Steven Miller?

I was particularly fond of the Pop-O-Matic dice rollers, myself, but it’s hard to picture how that would work in a grave.

The CEO of Hasbro should lose one of his mansions for this atrocity…maybe the blue California mansion, he already has 2 blue mansions and they clash.
Yeah, we’ve gone from “let’s use this game to educate players about the dangers of monopolistic practices” to “let’s acknowledge someone else owning the monopolies as unalterable fact and insult the people struggling because of it.” Fun!

Every generation is a mixed bag… don’t forget the boomers also gave us the new right…
Meanwhile, us gen xers are entirely harmless and blameless, slacking over here in a depressive funk!

Stinkers exist in every advertiser designated age group and every community. Assigning group culpability is a dubious choice.

Indeed! Except groups like nazis. I’m pretty sure we can assign group culpability to nazis.

Punching down with board games ? I can do this, too!
Next up … Monopoly for Immigrant Children. The entire board is just the jail square.

I just realized that the cover image is supposed to be Mr Moneybags taking a “selfie”… You can see the phone reflecting in his sunglasses. Nice touch.

While the Boomers were the essential foot soldiers of those movements, the leadership were Silents and older.
I’m not going to say that the entire generation betrayed the ideals of their youth and went all Bobo in the 1980s, but there is a self-important glory hog element when the Boomers describe themselves.
