Monopoly Coming Soon
…like next-week soon! According to this marketing page on Pogo.com, Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition is coming soon. But according to this Hasbro Monopoly Page, all versions of the game will be released simultaneously next week in order for users to break a World Record on multiple formats: the board game, online, or on your mobile phone or video game console.
According to the Pogo page, the game will be available to both Club Pogo and non-Club Pogo members (although Club members will get exclusive ‘movers’ — their word for ‘pieces’ — which will feature Pogo characters). You’ll be able to play with up to 3 human or computer opponents with four sets of customizable game rules. The best news to us is that we’ll be able to play a full game in just 30 minutes!
Look for this game to be released probably next Tuesday (the 26th) with maintenance so that Pogo.com may feature their version for the World Record event on the following day.
Update 8/20: According to this press release (which also lists the cities which will be featured in the game), Monopoly “will be available for download on mobile phones or free online at www.Pogo.com starting September 3, 2008.”
