Google is to team up with one of the world’s biggest board game manufacturers to create an online version of Monopoly.

The search engine has called on Hasbro to produce the game, which will use Google Maps as a board so players can choose from millions of streets around the world to buy.

The online version will be the same as the traditional board game but players will be able to build football stadiums and skyscrapers as well as the usual houses and hotels.
