Monopoly Gets Google Maps

monopoly city streets

There’s no need to present Monopoly, but did you know that the upcoming online version names Monopoly City Streets is the result of a collaboration between Google and Hasbro? It will be possible to use Google Maps as the game map to trade properties on a real city map. New structures will be added and for example, it will be possible to build stadiums – or even a prison in your competitor’s neighborhood! Monopoly City Streets launches tomorrow (Sept 9).

Games: Print Your Own Monopoly Board Game – Inspired by Google

Googolopoly, a game where you can take part of ruling the internet even if you don’t work in Mountain View. The goal of the game is to use Google shares to buy as many properties as you can without landing in the deadpool and losing your stock. As with any great board game, there’s a very real metaphor to what’s going on…. What happens when the Google monster gobbles up all that is left in the web world, is present on your cell phone, desktop, and even controls your health information? For all their product excellence, the threat of amassing this much data is too serious to ignore. Anyway, at Box.net, we’ll work to continue to build superior products and keep those mountain-viewers honest.

The game is available on Box.net as a PDF format.
