Real Life Monopoly Game with Google

Google is partnering with the maker of Monopoly (Hasbro) to release a new game - an online Google Maps version - called Monopoly City Streets. The new game will launch on Wednesday. Monopoly City Streets will provide users the opportunity to compete in a live version of the game with other users around the world.

The fun part is that players will be able to buy any street in the world. Starting with 3 million Monopoly dollars, you can build hotels, houses, football stadiums, castles, skyscrapers and more.

The preview site reads:

On the 9th SEPTEMBER, a world of property empire building on an unimaginable scale will be launched! A live worldwide game of MONOPOLY using Google Maps as the game board. The goal is simple. Play to beat your friends and the world to become the richest property magnate in existence.

Own any street in the world. Build humble houses, crazy castles and stupendous skyscrapers to collect rent. Use MONOPOLY Chance Cards to sabotage your mates by building Hazards on their streets.

Sounds like fun. Monopoly anyone?
