Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hasbro's partnership with Electronic Arts continues to bear fruit with Monopoly Millionaires, a Facebook game from EA-owned developer Playfish, the studio behind Pet Society, Restaurant City, and FIFA Superstars.
Monopoly Millionares looks instantly recognizable, with the classic board, counters, cards and basic buildings.
The twist is in accommodating the Facebook friends network, as other apps like MyTown and FrontierVille have done.
Each player hosts and customizes their own Monopoly board, increasing their winning chances not only by building and upgrading houses and hotels, but also by playing with friends and visiting one another's boards.
New hotels require friends' investment before they can open their doors, and landing on a working hotel earns Monopoly money for the landlord and a chance for the temporary tenant to increase their own property empire.
Though the game has been active since the tail end of January, it wasn't until February 16 that EA made an official annoucement.
That's been enough time for it to accrue close to 350,000 daily players, according to Facebook tracker AppData.com, though it's a fair way off from Facebook's most popular app, CityVille (96 million), and second placed FarmVille (51 million).
