Welcome to MONOPOLY Party Game!
MONOPOLY Party is a game of buying, trading, and deal-making where every player moves at once. It's always your turn!
See how quickly you can buy properties, build houses, and amass a mighty real estate empire.
How to Play
There are two ways to play MONOPOLY Party: Classic mode and Party mode. Your opponents can be human or AI. Up to four players can play each game type, depending on the number of game controllers you have.
Party Mode
This is an all-new MONOPOLY game type where all players "roll the dice" and move simultaneously. While most traditional MONOPOLY rules apply, Party mode results in much faster games.
Auctions and trades are fast and furious, and the competition is fierce. You can play against up to three AI players, with up to three friends, or with a mixture of human and AI opponents.
•
Note: Party mode requires that each human player have his or her own controller.
Classic Mode
Classic mode is based on the traditional MONOPOLY game, where players take turns rolling the dice, moving, buying properties, building, collecting rents, and paying fees. You can play against up to three AI players, with up to three friends, or with a mixture of human and AI opponents.
•
Note: Players can share a controller in Classic mode, passing it from player to player each turn.
Themes
In addition to the time-honored MONOPOLY board (in five languages), you can play MONOPOLY Party using four alternative theme boards. Each board comes with its own special animated tokens and custom house and hotel styles.
Custom Rules
You can customize a number of rules in MONOPOLY Party, including Free Parking jackpots, dealing properties at the start of the game, granting Futures and Immunities on properties, and more.
