LTD are banding together for a game which will take players through the entire Beatles catalogue, "This game will take you on a journey from the Beatles first album 'Please Please Me' until the last album at 'Abbey Road',” said Apple Corps CEO Jeff Jones. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison all helped out in creating the game which will offer an “experiential journey” of the band.

The more love you collect the more Beatles albums you get, not real estate. Six collectible Beatles themed tokens are included - Hammer, (Maxwell's Silver Hammer), Strawberry (Strawberry fields forever), Walrus (I Am the Walrus), Sun (Here Comes the Sun), Raccoon (Rocky Racoon), Octopus (Octopus's Garden). No word if there’s a section where Paul tells George how to play guitar or Yoko invents the term, “Five’s a crowd.” The game is available now. –
