After weeks, nay, months of rallying, blogging, Facebooking and more the voters were cast and the announcement has been made: Cape Town made it to 3rd on the World Monopoly Board!!!
I covered this extensively earlier in the year, blogging it often and calling people to action. Strange that so many answered the calls of so many to vote for CT on the board.
In a matter of weeks we went from nowhere in the rankings to top 20, top 10 and finally 3rd!
I am proud to say that I voted, I blogged it and I punted it to friends, family, at dinner parties, rugby matches and more! Apparently EA is launching the World Monopoly board as a console game across the board. The launch is somewhere in Sandton today and I am assuming globally too.
So head over to the Monopoly website and the SA Rocks blog posts for a current update and a history of the event!
