Monopoly Live! Online

Hi all,

Got sent this link today - looks pretty interesting.

We have turned London into a real-life playing board, and real taxi cabs into real-life playing pieces. All you have to do is make as much money from rent as possible, from five other cabs who are your opponents in the game.

We've kitted out 18 cabbies with GPS (Global Positioning System), meaning we can pinpoint their exact whereabouts in London. They will be going about their normal day, picking up and dropping off customers all over town.

All that you've got to do is spend the £15m we give you on properties from around the Monopoly Here & Now board, distribute your apartments and hotels and choose your cabbie. You are placed into a game with your cabbie and 5 other taxi drivers, all travelling around London. Every time one of the other cabs stops outside one of your properties, you get paid rent. Any time your cabbie lands on a property you don't own, you pay up. Simple!

This is the world's biggest game of Monopoly. The locations are real, the cabbies are real and the other players are very real. It's your job to beat them and bag the prizes...

I wonder how many Sydneysiders took up the opportunity of playing Monopoly on their own turf???

I have my fingers crossed that Melbourne will take up the challenge next!!!! ;)

Oh btw....if anyone wants to find where to get a copy of the "Here & Now Limited Edition" (celebrating the game's 70th Anniversary) you call the 1300 number as listed on this aussie site:

Jo, I saw the title of the thread and thought it meant you were doing some sort of impromptu performance live online for all of us. Maybe your own investing chatline ;)
