Monopoly teams up with Google Maps

[KiwiCoromandel]

Google may have a monopoly on information but now it has Monopoly as well, after toy maker Hasbro teamed up with the search giant to create a live worldwide version of the classic board game using Google Maps.

Scheduled to launch today, US time, and running for four months, the game, Monopoly City Streets (http://www.monopolycitystreets.com/) , uses Google Maps as a board and challenges players to build an empire starting with 3 million Monopoly dollars.

That's kind of interesting. I'd play that game.

I might give it a go.

Myself and three friends played Monopoly once, nonstop, from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. With only an occasional break to go get more beer!! There were some other stimulants involved as well. I swore after that, I'd never play that damn game again!!

This was in the summer of 1976, and I've not touched it since!!
