I was at a company-sponsored after-hours social last night sitting with six OSI-model developers who happen to be in their mid-twenties. I made a humorous comment about needing a get out of jail free card after drawing a go directly to jail chance card.

All I heard were crickets: the PS4 generation has not played Monopoly.

Are you sure that they didn't understand the reference... ?

Maybe they just didn't find it funny.... ?

Monopoly is a terrible game unless you play it by the printed rules, which absolutely nobody does. If you play it by the printed rules, it's at least a short game.

Or there was a lot of free social & they'd just gone glazed?

Perish the thought

It is a sobering moment when you make a reference to your childhood & your audience is too young to understand it.
