In the new version of World Monopoly, New York City's property value barely landed it past the halfway point of the board. New York is a red property on the spot where Indiana Avenue once sat. Meanwhile, the city holding Park Place's spot, the second most valuable property on the board, is Rigo, Latvia. Hasbro's placements for the world version of their game were generated from an on-line contest that began in January. City Room says that the city’s marketing arm was approached by Hasbro about rallying votes for New York but politely declined. Other cities that are worth more than New York (the only American locale to make the board) include Beijing, Belgrade and Jerusalem. Monopoly has branched into making a variety of Monopoly games for different brands (think Spongebob and Transformers).

By now you've either seen Cloverfield, or decided you didn't need to see NYC destroyed yet again. But with a sequel on the way, this monster just isn't going away anytime soon. To be sure of that, Hasbro has now created a Cloverfield monster toy (photos are after the jump for those who haven't checked this guy out on the big screen yet).
