Real Life Monopoly!

[JingleBells]

Hasbro are running Monopoly Live all week. The basic idea is that 18 taxis across London have been fitted with a GPS tracker, and players select properties from the new version of 'Monopoly "Here and Now"', which has modern properties and values. When a taxi lands at your properties you are given money, and when your taxi lands at someone elses they are given your money.
Each game lasts 24 hours, and during that period you cannot change your property selections, but if you are feeling flush you can text to play a chance or community chest card.
You start with £15m to spend, 7 apartments and 2 hotels which you can distribute across the board.

Its great fun if you can find people to compete against
