The wait is almost over now! One of the most cherished game, that everyone must have played in their childhood now launches on a free, web based version. So to remind you of those great memories of White house and Palm street, Google has teamed up with Hasbro using Google Earth and Street view to turn the whole planet into board.
MONOPOLY is launching a game of property empire building on an unimaginable scale in a bid to uncover the greatest property magnate the world has ever known. The entire planet will be pitted against one another in an online game of MONOPOLY turning the globe into one giant game board! The project was made possible by using the street data from OpenStreetMap, combined with Google Maps, API tastic! Want to try? Stay tuned…..just few hours more.
This won’t be around for ever – the Street View version will only be available for four months from tomorrow, in a bid to promote Monopoly City, a 3D version of the board game. So make sure you catch it!
