Hasbro has launched a multiplayer, interactive version of the popular game using GoogleMaps. Gamers can purchase real streets and rent to other players. BBC reports, "BBC News reports that the goal of the new game, which went live Wednesday, is to become the world's richest real-estate magnate. New players receive $3 million in Monopoly money and can buy up any available street in the world, charge rent on it, and build virtual properties. Players can scuttle their opponents' rent rates by building landfills, prisons, or wind farms on a neighbor's property using a chance card, and afflicted landlords can remove the offending landmarks using the same method. The game will close on January 31, 2010."
