The Internet has become the world's largest marketplace over the past decade, generating millions and billions of dollars. Of course, there is no monopoly in this area and cannot be. But there is Monopoly - board game, web-based and its largest resources.
On the site Culturology. Ru We have already talked about an unusual version of the board game Monopoly - Giant Monopoly Board, created by an anonymous artist Banksy for the Occupy London series of civil disobedience actions. It reveals the essence of the modern financial world, ridiculed bankers and their eternal "problems" with money.
But the board game Monopoly: web lovers edition allows players to feel like masters of the Internet. The most famous, visited and profitable sites of the World Information Network, such as Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Flickr, Amazon, eBay, IMDB, Google, Yahoo, YouTube, CNN, etc. were selected as its locations. All of them can be bought for play money (moreover, for a much lower amount than the real market value), you can sell them, you can build branches on them, create conglomerates and monopolize industries. In general, everything is the same as in the usual Monopoly, only with the specifics of the Internet.
Instead of a prison, Monopoly: web lovers edition uses an image of Steve Jobs with the caption "Go to the real world", instead of a cash prize - free Wi-Fi, instead of infrastructure industries - hosting and domain business, instead of cards additional quests - Silicon Valley.
The main advantage of Monopoly: web lovers edition is that this game was created to distract Internet fans from the World Wide Web at least for a few hours, while dipping them into the same World Wide Web, however, offline.
