Breaking news from Google & Hasbro - this week they are launching a free online and global version of Monopoly.  9 September is the date.  Built around Google Maps, this looks like it could be a terrific twist on the classic game of buying and selling.  More details at the launch site here

Monopoly City Streets will use Google Maps as a board so players can choose from millions of streets around the world to buy.  The online version will be the same as the traditional board game but players will be able to build football stadiums and skyscrapers as well as the usual houses and hotels.
