Monopoly City Streets is an online board game using Monopoly on real world streets using Google Maps and OpenStreetMap[1]. The game was developed by Tribal DDB, Hasbro's digital agency, with support from Google.[2] The game will launch September 9, 2009.

Overview

Monopoly City Streets players start out with $3 million virtual dollars and are able purchase real world properties including hotels, houses, football stadiums, castles and skyscrapers. Players are paid rent each day, from $50,000 for a house to $100 million for a skyscraper.[3][4]

Prices of real estate depend on the location.

Players can buy, sell, and negotiate prices between other players. They are randomly given Monopoly Chance Cards to sabotage other players by building Hazards on their streets. Bonus buildings, such as include parks, schools, water towers and wind farms, protect streets from Hazards. Players receive these buildings through the chance cards.[1]

The game will close on January 31, 2010.[1]
