I agree that to be able to play it both ways --cash or debit card-- would be ideal. One of the best things about games like monopoly for younger kids is how it strengthens their ability to add and subtract using the cash. I'm guessing that with the debit card version each player has an electronic device to use with the cards, thus the math thinking is done for them. But there would be some value in demonstrating that debit card money is not magically endless.
