Monopoly
Today, a whole new way to play Monopoly has been launched online, using Google maps as the game board. Players are given three million dollars to build their virtual empire, with every street on Google maps up for purchase.
As in the board game, once a player has ownership of the street, they can charge rent or trade/sell to another player. Slightly more realistic than the original game, players can collect ‘chance cards’ which allows them to sabotage other players property by building prisons, rubbish dumps or wind farms, reducing the rent value of the street. Players can also use a bulldozer to remove the offending building but again, only with the ‘chance card’.
The game has been developed by Hasbro, due to be launched today and to run for the next four-months, ending on the 31 January 2010.
As reported above, this game is supposed to be launched today but at the time of writing this the site has not gone live. Here is a link to Monopoly City Streets, but we are still trying to get onto the site.
