“World of Fourcraft” uses Foursquare and Google Maps APIs to turn New York City into a giant game of Risk. Users decide which team they are on by swearing allegiance to one of New York City’s five boroughs. Checking into a neighborhood on Foursquare is the online game’s equivalent to placing plastic man on a country in the board game. An algorithm decides who owns each neighborhood using the number of people who have checked into it on each team.

Google and Hasbro is launching Monopoly City Streets today, each player starts with $3 million and their opponent, the rest of the world. Not sure how massive is this going to be, but its definitely great to be able to take part in it.

Lets pray that they push this into a real 2nd life ARG format. In the meantime, check out the official site and blog. If anyone spot an opportunity to sign up, please leave a comment or email me.
