Monopoly board game uses Google Maps in its latest incarnation
Monopoly, perhaps the most time-consuming board game in the history of board games, is about to go online. On September 9, Hasbro is launching Monopoly City Streets, a live, worldwide version of what may or may not be what The Donald used to play as a nipper.
Players will get a nifty $3 million to start with, and will be able to put just about any type of building anywhere they want, thanks to the wonders of Google Maps. I particularly like the fact that the owner of the board above has erected a football stadium slap-bang in the the middle of Mayfair, probably London's most exclusive barrio. This is definitely one for renegade town planners.

Hmm this doesnt tell you much about it. Monopoly has already been online. Maybe this one will be better?

Would be a great idea to use google maps for a version of Sim City.
