Hasbro squashes unsanctioned Google Maps Risk

These board-game companies are party poopers. First, Parker Brothers derailed some filmmakers’ plans to use the term ouija board in a movie. Now, we hear that Hasbro has brought the hammer down on a guy who created a cool Google Maps version of the board game Risk. As One Tusk points out, “Now that the lawyers have squashed the fun, Risk—and hopefully Hasbro—can retreat back into the obscurity of the ’80s.”
