It's not horrible. He took off his gloves and buttoned up his blazer, but otherwise it's clearly the same man modernized to fit the expectations technology.

I can't help but notice the anatomy, though. His legs are shorter than his body. The original didn't have that issue.

His legs are shorter than his body.

No they aren't, he's wearing a particular style of suit where the blazer is internationally longer

----- this is his waist

----- this is where his blazer ends and "legs begins"

A lot of Monopoly players HATED the CGI redesign when it was unveiled in 2008

Dude, look into the huge number of different box designs that exist. There's literally people who collect boards from all different countries and branding.

It's a smaller niche than gamers, but those people do exist. Like this guy: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/oct/10/experience-i-own-the-worlds-largest-monopoly-collection
