An updated version of Monopoly is being released which trades in plastic rather than paper money.
Monopoly Here and Now Electronic Edition will feature card payments rather than cash.
Players will use a Visa branded card to carry their money. When inserted into the supplied machine, the banker can add or subtract money from the balance on the card.
Chris Weatherhead, a spokesman for Parker games, told Sky News: "The new electronic Monopoly reflects the changing nature of society and the advancement of technology."
Property prices have also been increased to bring the game up to date.
The new version will retail for £24.99, significantly more than the standard cash edition at £12.99.
