In the board game arena, there are few games more iconic than Monopoly. We’ve all flipped a table or two in our time at a lost game. Well, Monopoly Tycoon aims to bring that experience to the palm of your hand!

Monopoly Tycoon is a free-to-play city-building game for Android and iOS. Far from the family ending their relationships around the dinner table, this game seems to take the franchise in a new direction. A single-player experience, Monopoly Tycoon features 3 maps (Atlantic City, Paris and London). The player, armed with their start-up capital, must wisely invest and grow their wealth. Rather than the more static development available in other editions of Monopoly, in this game, players can freely build hundreds of different, unique buildings and decorations. It seems the game will feel quite different from the board game adaptation, because you can place buildings freely throughout the city. So, if you like city-builders like SimCity or City Mania, this might just scratch that itch for you.

This isn’t the development team’s first adaptation of a popular franchise to mobile. For instance, Nvizzio Creations launched RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch in 2017, and reviews of that title are excellent. Also, way back in 2001, they launched the original Monopoly Tycoon. All that said, it seems like this project is in good hands.

Key Features of Monopoly Tycoon

Straight from the horse’s mouth, here’s what the developers claim Monopoly Tycoon will feature at launch;

  • Discover over a thousand buildings and decorations to collect, build and upgrade
  • Compete to acquire properties in the Auction House
  • Fulfill the needs from your houses and hotels to maximize rents
  • Complete missions to progress and get rewards
  • Draw Community Chest and Chance cards to boost your performance
  • Pass Go everyday to increase daily rewards
  • Resolve City Problems, by playing fun mini-games
  • Unlock three famous MONOPOLY board locations: Atlantic City, Paris and London.
  • Become the wealthiest real estate tycoon ever!

 

Additionally, Nvizzio are working closely with Hasbro – the game board giant who owns the original tabletop game. That lends credibility to the game but, above all, we’re hoping it means this title will feel like a proper adaptation, not just a city-builder with the Monopoly branding slapped on.
