In the Internet era, the most expensive properties are those intellectual properties such as popular web properties and portals like Google, Yahoo, eBay, YouTube etc.
The traditional Monopoly game has been modified to become a new Internet game board called Googolopoly, which is a Monopoly game board that have all the popular web properties as the playing squares.
It’s similar to playing on the traditional Monopoly. But those landed properties, expensive houses etc are now replaced with those super expensive Internet properties.
Such as the “Chance”cards on the Googolopoly game board has also been replaced with the famous “I’m Feeling Lucky” Google cards.
There is a little funny square, once you hit a PAGE NOT FOUND, error 404, then you’ll need to be jailed in this 404 square. On this game board, you’ll need to fill all the squares with people, new servers and eventually the websites, forming multi-billion companies like Google, eBay, YouTube etc.
The creators of this game are those folks on Box.net, which they got little bored with their working lives and had thought of this Googolopoly to let you have fun taking part to rule the Internet as what Google has almost achieved, even though you don’t work in Mountain View.
