I think Monopoly wouldn't be the same without a physical board and pieces. They tried to create a version that used a digital "bank machine" instead of paper money, and I think it flopped. Most of the parents I know thought that one of the great things about playing monopoly with kids is that it encourages them to learn some basic money math, which is something we could all use a little more of, but this bank machine version took away the responsibility AND the fun of waving around stacks of 100 dollar bills.

My wife said they use the WII at her hospital for physical therapy so I purchased on for us at home. Expensive but worth it.

everything seems to be going digital these days, I still think board games should be played where the pieces are tangible... but maybe it's time for everything to go virtual one at a time.
