Monopoly x Google Maps: The Planet Turns Into One Giant Board Game

Anyone can own a virtual piece of the globe thanks to Monopoly City Streets, a new global campaign by Hasbro in partnership with Google. Launching on September 9th, the campaign will promote the Monopoly City edition, an updated version of the board game where players build 3D cities from scratch.  Meanwhile, the four month online version turns the whole world into a board game. Participants will be able to buy, sell, and develop property on any street in the world using Google Maps and Google Earth technology.
