Online Version of Blogpoly Attracts Crowds

Posted on November 29, 2005

There is now an online playable version of the Blogpoly game. Littleoslo.com featured a graphic of Blogpoly earlier this year. The online game allows for actual interactive Blogpoly play with up to four players. The Kurnik blog explains:

The idea for this geeky theme came a few months ago when someone known as ZF from Littleoslo posted a funny remake of the Monopoly board with properties like Google, Yahoo, Flickr etc. Popular IMs took there the roles of what was previously known as rail stations while Wikipedia and Creative Commons became the public utilities. For a geek like me, there was no better theme for a Monopoly-like game that I planned to add (even Ghettopoly couldn't compare).

Blogger Buzz has more details on Blogpoly here. The most active Blogpoly games right now are Polish so if you enter one of these channels and don't speak (or read) Polish it can be a little confusing. Kurnik says the game has attracted crowds of over 3,000 simultaneous players.

Wikipedia reports that Kurnik became PlayOK in 2008.
