For those of you that never really "got" Foursquare, you already knew what former Foursquare addicts have just started to discover. After the initial fun of bragging to friends about where you are all the time, winning a few mayorships, and donning a few badges, Foursquare gets a little boring.
But it doesn't have to be thanks to World of FourCraft, a new Risk-like game that turns NYC into a virtual board game using Foursquare and Google Maps. Players chose which borough to claim their allegiance with and then simply check-in to places to essentially place down a "soldier" on that spot. An algorithm then decides which fraction owns that area based on number of check-ins. So, now the only question is, who's going to steal Brooklyn away from the Hipsters?
