Hasbro has announced that it's struck deals with RealNetworks subsidiaries to bring some of its best-known board games to the web.

Mr Goodliving and Zylom will help to develop online versions of Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, Game of Life, and Yahtzee.

RealNetworks already had a deal with Hasbro to develop and market the mobile phone version of Trivial Pursuit, seven versions of which are already available.

“We're bringing some of the most coveted entertainment properties to the digital world for fans to enjoy”, said Rutger Peters, VP of games at Hasbro.

“[Trivial Pursuit] will be filled with challenging trivia teasers and a wide number of diverse questions to bring out the competitive spirit in even the most passionate of trivia buffs.”
