Do not pass Go

A new version of Monopoly is coming out soon, it appears, with a round board, more realistic property prices and some sort of electronic banker. It's a game I could never take to, because at heart it's just a complicated version of snakes and ladders. There's no real skill involved - it all depends on the fall of the dice. And games tend to go on far too long. Those who enjoy it will continue to do so, but I can't see a makeover getting many new adherents.
