>> World Cup Monopoly Regular listeners will know that football and I rarely inhabit the same cultural space, so I didn’t expect to be spending much time on this site. I was wrong – I’m hooked.
The game is a whizzy 3D version of the Monopoly board on which the properties are replaced by teams playing in the World Cup. Mayfair becomes Brazil, the Old Kent Road becomes Switzerland and houses and hotels are replaced by terraces and stadia. You buy teams in your first round and then have seven days in which to earn as much rent as possible. Your earnings (and ranking in the tournament) can increase overnight, encouraging you to return to the site and play every day.
Once the World Cup is underway the game will have an additional fantasy league element, so that results of the real matches, news speculation, injuries and team rifts affect the scores in the online game.
