Although not a lot of the details have been made known at this point, this has the potential to be the biggest multiplayer online game ever, and shows how far social gaming over the internet has come since its beginnings with the old Ultima Online role playing game in 1997.
We have had many games since then, with World of Warcraft (WoW) perhaps being the best known, but Monopoly might just be the right game to really break the social barriers with its simple rules and overwhelming accessibility to the majority of audiences. Whereas online gaming has been a movement generally termed as a thing for "nerds" so far, this could be the one that makes online gaming go mainstream.
After all, who doesn't want to be "the world's richest property magnate in existence"? Virtually speaking of course.
