For years I was the car. Always the car. One day I switched to the iron and never went back. Uncle Mike was the banker – to this day I suspect he was being shady, but only because he was so competitive and I was so…I don’t know, I was so 8 years old.
Our old board, that color of “Government Green” seemed like it was a hundred years old already, and this is fifty years we’re talking about.
And now it turns out that the mobile board game version (think about that for a second: mobile, board game, “MONOPOLY GO!” has become the #1 fee mobile board game in the world!
Some stats that shocked me:
#1 free mobile game in more than 60 countries. Top-5 free mobile game across more than 100 countries – nearly every country where the game is available!
Since launch:
– 600M+ landmarks have been built…and 200M+ landmarks have been shut down
Be careful, your landmark could be next!
– Players are inviting their friends to get in on the fun, with 3M+ invites sent
– 18M+ boards completed
– 65M+ jail visits (womp womp!)

– Players have passed GO 470M+ times
Every minute…

And now they’ve just added one old man whose trip down nostalgia lane ends where my smart phone begins, right here. Right now.
