Monopoly City Streets: Google Launching Online Version of Monopoly - http://mashable.com/2009...

"This could be very addictive: Google (Google) is teaming up with board game maker Hasbro to launch a Google Maps (Google Maps) version of Monopoly (Monopoly). Monopoly City Streets, which launches Wednesday, allows users to compete in a live, worldwide version of the popular game, creating the biggest Monopoly tournament ever played. It’s an ambitious venture that we’ll confess to being fairly excited about: players will literally be able to buy any street in the world, and compete with every other player on the “board”. You start with 3 million Monopoly dollars, and can build not only hotels and houses but also football stadiums, castles and skyscrapers, reports the UK’s Guardian. Downing Street in the UK will cost $231,000, while Pennsylvania Avenue will cost $2 million."

This'll be a total time-suck. I'm already plotting my strategy in my mind.
- Brad Williamson
Awesome!
- Jason Wehmhoener
Kind of hard to imagine movement across the "board". I guess we'll have to wait and see.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Yeah, something tells me this won't be your Mom and Pop's Monopoly. I'm thinking it'll be more Sim City-esque.
- Brad Williamson
Haha nice, looks kinda more like Hotel
- Maarten
It sounds like online Sim City to me. Or one of the tycoon games (lemonade tycoon, coffee tycoon, railroad tycoon or something of that sort that lets you start your own business and grow it as a game, soon you will have ads for buy monopoly gold and virtual currency just as they have now for WOW gold.

This is just awesome!

This could be really cool or a complete fail, especially if people try to game the system

The clock it ticking towards launch and the site is down. Hopefully, they're just making some last second adjustments.
- Brad Williamson
Has anyone been able to play yet?
- Brad Williamson
I've been trying to play for 2 hours, I can get to the game screen and it sit goes down. :(

Sad to say Google didn't anticipate the popularity of this. I just enveloped myself with apple news with hopes it would be up, but no luck.
- Mac64
how on earth do they rate penn. avenue in the millions yet the street in which the UK government resides is only $231,000? Bit of an insult really :P

Mac64: Just to clarify, this is in no way a Google fail. This is a Hasbro game that is built upon Google Maps. Google may have helped with a bit of the development, but are in no way liable for the FAIL that is the launch of this game. Blame Hasbro ;)

Lets see how long it takes before asian clickworkers overtake the Monopoly City Streets market.... ;)

I was able to get in long enough to spend my 3M. It was painfully slow, but I was able to snag streets in my neighborhood that I wanted. We'll see if it gets fun as they increase capacity, but this is a crappy situation right now because the best streets will go to the overly patient.
- Jason Wehmhoener
You see the Terms? It says it will only be open until January 2010 :( Then what?

"...players will literally be able to buy any street in the world..." - literally?

Ken makes really great points. Quality of Engagement is far more valuable than old 'skool' media experts would like it to be. They would rather continue to broadcast a message. They believe that's what they should do and after all it worked for 75 years so it's good as gold to them. I would only say to people with that thought, why then are newspapers dying and tv stations floundering? Because no one wants to be broadcast to anymore. We want interaction and without it, your business doesn't stand a chance.
