Review: Monopoly City Streets - the Largest Game of Monopoly in the World

The Largest Game Ever

Jeremy Ross
The largest monopoly game is taking the online world by storm. Google teamed up with board game maker, Hasbro, to create the largest version of Monopoly using Google Maps, a service offered by Google. This game is called Monopoly City Streets (www.monopolycitystreets.com).

Since they game has recently been released the servers are crashing due to the extremely high volume of traffic. Users are complaining of difficulty registering, but Google will have this fixed in no time. Google said they were expecting the servers to be slow, but not this slow.

The way this game works is simple. You purchase a property and then create an account. Unfortunately, Madison Ave and Pennsylvania Ave were quickly snatched up by early registers. Players start with 3 million monopoly dollars and can build houses, hotels, football stadiums, castles, and skyscrapers. As the game says, "Your goal is simple. Become the richest property magnate in the world." This does not differ at all from the classic Monopoly game...make as much money as you can and put your opponents in bankruptcy.

Some highlights of the games are as follow: There are chance cards that you receive every day that can be good or extremely bad. You can negotiate for property that you want with friends. You can even sell property to others to make so profit (hopefully).

The more you play the game, the greater chance you have of doing better, and thus, making more money and owning more buildings and streets.

This is going to be a great game from Google and Hasbro. http://www.monopolycitystreets.com is going to take the online community by storm.

http://www.monopolycitystreets.com is an extremely fun and yet addicting game that will bring back great memories of the classic monopoly game. Google and Hasbro have really outdone themselves as this will surely be an extremely popular and fun game.

You will enjoy playing www.monopolycitystreets.com with your friends and family. It is really fun.

    I love Monopoly and am on my way to sign up now.

    First choose the property you would like to buy. After you say "buy" you will be asked to register. There is no way as of now to get around this. So attempt to buy before you can register.
