It's a game everybody in the world must have played at least once. And there are numerous online versions of the game: monopoly. The newest version of the game is one in which Google plays a big role: Monopoly City Streets.

In this game Google Maps is being used to play a Monopoly game without borders. You can buy streets all over the world an build your online city. Google Maps is the online board you're playing on.

You can also build your own buildings, using Google Sketch Up, and upload them to the Google 3D Warehouse. Starting today you then enter a competition in which your design could be included in the eventual game.
