Because the licensed Monopoly game by Hasbro is such absolute cheating trash, this is the best version of monopoly available that I’ve found. The dice rolls are random. It counts the spaces correctly every time, and the trading w AI is challenging and mostly fair.

Multiple times a comp player has rolled a number that should have landed on my property but instead it landed on go to jail saving it from bankruptcy. I’m pretty sure it has landed on chance when not supposed to as well. Seems to just ignore one of the die and use roll of the die that is advantageous. Making deals is basically “throw as much money at AI as you can to make the same trade that another AI wouldn’t have pay 1/3 to trade”. Only way to win is to be super aggressive with buying properties and try not to have cash on hand if possible. That way you can just watch videos to avoid bankruptcy.

After thousands of hours playing Monopoly, both the board game and the video game versions, and after reading many of the reviews, i agree with those who say the game is rigged to prevent players who are playing against the AI to execute legitimate strategies to win. As the logo of this Monopoly version suggests, “Become a business monopolist” we’re encouraged to execute strategies to “monopolize” by purchasing as many properties as funds allow, and as everyone knows, that’s how you win the game. The game dynamics, however, controls / manipulates several elements in game dynamics, from what your dice roll to manipulating trading.For example, according to several of the reviews, there is no luck of what the dice might roll. This version also removes “luck / chance” by manipulating trading. If a trade with an AI gives you too much of an advantage, the AI will block you from even offering a trade to one of the AI characters while all of the other AI characters require massive amounts of funds to purchase their properties. So, you are actually penalized for executing gameplay like a “Monopolist!” o.OSince i know a little about how Monopoly game dynamics should function (received my first Monopoly board game at 9 yrs old), and since the reason Monopoly became such a worldwide popular game was due to its appeal to “monopolize.” (Many say that its appeal to monopolize is what took Monopoly to the level of the most popular #1 game in the world; astounding when considering its humble beginnings of 5,000 homemade games produced and sold during the year after it was patented on December 31, 1934). So, if you want to play a game that removes the key element for why Monopoly is a great game and replace that monopolist element with game dynamics that are controlled / manipulative and that remove “luck / chance,” then this version is for you. If not, you may want to keep looking for a better version. Oh, and btw, if your choice is the former, prepare yourself for a LOT of annoying ads.

More adds than play. There is a 30 to 45 second ad that you have to click at least three times on the X button to get back to the game. This happens before each and every turn you get so there is more time trying to close the ads then actual game time. It’s a shame because it is kind of a neat game.
