Monopoly City Streets launches today.

Now Google has joined forces with Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, to create an online version of the latest version of the board game, Monopoly City. The online game, called Monopoly City Streets launches today and will be available for a limited period of time. Players can "buy", "build up" and "trade" streets and compete against participants from all over the world in real time.

Monopoly City the board game allows players to build a 3-D city featuring skyscrapers, stadiums and energy-efficient power plants. Log on to Monopoly City Streets (www.monopolycitystreets.com) to play the game. (Be warned, however, that the site has had overwhelming traffic on this, its first launch day, and it might take a while to get connected. Hasbro says it's working to resolve this quickly).

This is hilarious, google doesn't need to partner with monopoly. They're one of the biggest monopolies around!
