With only one road, my hamlet is perhaps less likely to win.

Stupid strategy.

Go to China and convince the Chinese to vote for your city and you win.

I agree.. the selection method seems to have a particular bias built in... maybe they should call it the "Internet Geek version of Monopoly"...

There is something that irks me about anything that uses the "more people use..", or the "Biggest selling", and even the "more people chose" types of logic to persuade you to use their product..

Something tells me, if the Chinese get involved, every square on the board will be a Chinese city.

India and Indonesia also have good chances.

However, when being a kid I preferred "Öl für uns alle" to "Monopoly" anyway. I liked the tablets with the pins stuck into them - it looked so very technically! In the beginning the game was an advertizing present by British Petrol.

I can see it comeing now.

The Islamic Extremists will get Pissed if Parker Bros PC'S and puts them on it with no votes.

Or they'll put Parker Bros on Death list for not putting them on it.


OH ! I almost forgot. They don't have a country to vote on.

They just terrorize countrys till they Knuckle under.
