Take the classic board game Risk and adapt it to a location based game for a specific city. Instead of continents, individuals can take control of buildings or blocks laid out on a Google Map.

There are quite a few commercial variants of Risk out there.
It wouldn't surprise me if something like this has been done.
Either way, I like it. [+] |

(NB- care needs to be taken to balance out the provinces with
bottlenecks & their value for cards must reflect risk/reward
of conquering them for a full turn). |

Boston - A dice roll determines if you end up in the target or one of the adjacent ones (navigation difficulties, trust me) |
|
| |
Los Angeles - Movement between any location requires a number of turns equal to a roll of the dice (rush hour) |
|
| |
New York - The board is a perfect grid, but you can only enter a given target from a particular direction (one way streets). |
|
| |
London - You pay a one unit tax to move into any of the central targets (congestion charge) |
|
| |
Rome - A dice roll determines if the attack goes forward or halts (finds an archaeologically significant site) |

integrate it with foursquare |
