In “Ms Monopoly,” players collect inventions made by women, such as WiFi and solar heating.
Female players start out with more money than males and receive US$240 each time they pass “go,” more than the US$200 that goes to males.
That’s an inversion on real life, where women make only 81% of what men do, according to the US Department of Labour.
The game box shows a bright-eyed Ms Monopoly carrying a coffee cup and announces itself as “the first game where women make more than men.”
The pay disparity “is a fun spin in the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” Hasbro said in a news release.
“However, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too.”
The game will be available from mid-September in the US as well as in a range of other countries, including France, Germany, Canada, Australia and Malaysia.
Earlier riffs on Monopoly have been based on “Star Wars” and “Game of Thrones,” as well as a “Monopoly for Millennials” version and a “Cheater’s” version.
