You missed the source:

Box.net also offers a higher-resolution image.

Well, i might print it over a card board and make this baby real!!
It's a great idea, and i'm very proud of who made it!

I just gotta think about the perfect cards.

Ideas are more than welcome :)

I think it would be interesting to have a Search Engine Optimization version of this game. Perhaps each field is a domain name – starting from the lousy ones, like reallyLongDomain1923092.info to the better ones, like hello.com – and instead of houses you add PageRank to each domain. I could imagine unlucky special cards like "Due to keyword stuffing, you lose all your PageRank on your longest domain...."

interersting idea, Philipp. People passing by my properties and paying me rent should then be equivalent to me earning from Adwords..
