Earlier this week, Hasbro announced its newest version of the classic board game Monopoly but with a big change—the role of the banker is gone. In its place is Monopoly App Banking, a concept designed to speed up play and make the game more enjoyable. When it lands in stores this August for $25, smartphones will serve as the bankers, and each player will manage their money using the accompanying free mobile app. (Players must each have their own phone.)

With the new version, you start by downloading the Mobile Banking App, which handles all the transactions with money and properties for you. Just select a token and a matching bank card and scan it to the mobile app. With purchases and rent now automated, it may be an effort to appeal to younger players who might also find the updated board more relatable. Also gone are the two most expensive properties—Boardwalk and Park Place. In their place are Rocket Launch Pad and Moon.
