Vote for the world edition of Monopoly
January 22, 2008
The makers of Monopoly - Hasbro - have launched an online vote for the latest world edition of the family favourite board game. Yes folks, you now have an opportunity to vote (seemingly on a daily basis) for your favourite cities of the world.
You have until February 29 to vote on Hasbro's pre-selected shortlist of 68 cities, the 20 most popular of which will make it to the board.
But voters can also nominate 'wildcard' cities of their choosing. Nominations will be put to the vote from March 1 to March 9, and the two most popular will be added to the game to make the full 22 squares.
Got that? Good.
UK cities that feature on Hasbro's shortlist are London, Edinburgh and Cardiff. I wonder what kind of tactics tourist authorities will employ to bump up votes...

Travolution is urging a boycott of this vote until Hasbro withdraws its threat of legal action against the creators of Scrabulous on Facebook.
