MONOPOLY GO!
Everyone knows Monopoly as a family game – or, to be exact, “a game that can tear any family apart.” A game of Monopoly can last hours. It’s hard to imagine how you could possibly translate its fun but lengthy gameplay into a mobile game.
But people have tried, and in all kinds of different genres too, from a digital board game to a mashup of different game mechanics:
- Monopoly – Classic Board Game is a paid game – it’s regular Monopoly, but with cool graphics and effects
- MONOPOLY Tycoon is a free-to-play mobile city-builder game
- MONOPOLY Solitaire: Card Games is a solitaire game with Monopoly-themed meta-gameplay
- MONOPOLY Slots – Slot Machines is a slot machine game with a primitive construction-based meta-game
