Do you accept Monopoly money?
22 June 2005. Inspired by .
"The purpose of Monopoly Live: Create a property portfolio that will get lots of London cabs driving past the locations that you own. Set up only takes a few minutes, so see how much money you can make in 24 hours.
We have equipped 18 taxis with GPS devices, so we know exactly where they are at any moment. Select one to be your playing piece travelling around London. Five others will be assigned to your game as opponents when you start."
Great idea, and most impressive to me is that they've got the official licence. Though I wish they'd make the cabbies wear top hats, ships, thimbles and small dogs.
