Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love monopoly as a child and love this game.
Its great when its working. But they have to fix the freezing issue. We hate getting over halfway through a game, just for it to freeze and end the game. Please fix this Hasbro.
We honestly wouldn't mind spending money on different boards and pieces, but the fact that you charge us for EVERYTHING is beyond us. Also the fact that we can predict ai moves is an insult to the beauty of the game.
Really fun but never am o. Our phone long enough to finish.
First off, dont even bother if you plan on only playing against the computer. You will stop playing after about 5 or 6 games and never come back. Besides that, you get pretty much what you would expect here – a standard version of Monopoly with the same flaws that virtually all board games adapted to digital have. Those flaws are dice rolls that are not as random as expected, computer opponents that can be easily manipulated, fewer personalization options than desired, and animations that slow down gameplay too much. This could be worth the price with more gameplay personalization options, the ability to disable game-slowing animation, and computer players that dont sabotage the game with idiotic trades. Our biggest pet peeve is that you cant even change your auto-assigned player name without signing up for their game service. The only reason we give this a solid 2 stars despite these shortcomings is that it plays offline. Its nice to have something besides simple puzzle games to play if Wi-Fi is down or the power is out. Still, this is WAY overpriced for what you get.
Very observable patterns in how often the CPU will dodge your properties (regardless of the color) until you have to mortgage them. Almost all deals are very one-sided, as the CPU will offer you properties that dont help you, while asking for what would give them complete color sets. Additionally, they will trade with each other so that they both benefit against you. All chance spaces seem anything but random, as you will consistently get bad pulls that can cost you the game, while the CPU will always get the lucky pulls. If you play this game, we would highly advise not playing single player, because the frustration outweighs the fun. They clearly put a lot of effort into the game for visual pleasure, which we appreciate. However we have to leave a negative review because of our experience. Either play online, with friends, or just play the actual board game to avoid the CPUs unusually amazing luck. In short, what we want is a fair game, regardless of the outcome. We cannot honestly say that this game feels even slightly fair. Hopefully you have a better experience than we did.
Ive played enough games to know this for a fact – that the AI cheats. We should not be able to predict not only our dice rolls, but the dice rolls of our opponents. As a test, in one game, we wrote down the number of times we were able to predict our roll of the dice exactly, based on whether or not we had traded and what would land us (a) in jail or (b) on a tax square or (c) on a non-property. After more than ten correct predictions, we deleted the game. Most common: rolling the exact number to land in jail early on the game, and whatever roll is necessary to land on income tax after passing Go. Also most common: recently played a game where we had four property blocks in a row. AI managed to make all 3 competitors miss two consecutive times around the board. This isnt possible. The developer can say whatever falsehoods they want, but the game absolutely cheats. Its actually hilarious to watch it do that, but theres no way we should mutter to ourselves looks like Im getting a 5 now and be right time after time.
Do not download this app or if you want to PLAY AGAINST BOTS. Very disappointed to have paid for it.
This is the monopoly we love it we want won 16 games in a row what we want them to fix is have two hotels.
When will you add leaderboards to this game.
Monopoly is such a fun game. We like this game even more than the board game of monopoly because it is very convenient and just as fun to play. We love being able to play online with different people and to play with our friends and family. You should definitely download this game if you want to have a great time.
This the best game Ive played ever.
Been a fun 2 years keep going.
We are so shocked at how great this game is.
You need to have luck and make intelligent decision. We recommend it 100%. Its one of our favorite games from the childhood.
You have to pay for items and the game is trash.
If you love the classic board game youll love this app plain and simple. So convenient playing the game with software taking care of all the math for you.
Worth our money, took almost a whole shift to whoop our coworkers butt we love it.
We do feel like theres an algorithm at times when playing against the computer, but we love this game! Super fun and addicting! Definitely recommend.
We played the classic board seven times and we see the following 2 patterns repeating several times in every game: 1. Passing Go! And landing on tax due, wiping out the salary (happens in EVERY GAME several times) 2. Going back to jail almost immediately after getting out of jail. (happens in EVERY GAME several times) 3. Opponents keep getting Advance to Reading Railroad AND collect $200 (happens in EVERY GAME several times).
Great till it bugs out and your sitting there for 10 min for the game to continue.
Small letters find it hard to read.
The game its so cool but please add the arabic language.
Good game really fun just like the old school bored game. Just wondering how we can same our game progress when we play with friends.
Seems like every time we accumulate a lot of property there is a glitch where it will not let us build houses and it has cost us some games. Overall fun but might as well quit the game if that glitch happen unfortunately. Hope it gets fixed.
We love the game but your should be able to pause games and continue them later.
We enjoy the game as a whole but its proven to us multiple times that when we play against AIs its completely rigged. We enjoy playing with friends but if we were anyone we would steer clear of the AI games. We also would like to say that this game has a lot of bug fixes that need to be done because something is always wrong with it. Its completely inconvenient when you want to play a game but cant because you have to update the app and even when it updates it STILL doesnt work.
When A player drops out can you remove them and out their property back into play we wait forever for them to time out each time and any of their properties ends up useless.
You dont understand how many times we have played against AI and roll on their property, it makes no sense for us to roll on their property and they never roll on ours, these chances should be random not ai getting lucky rolls n landing in between or completely past by hotels every other turn, the game is good but we dont appreciate every game being rigged for the AI.
What a fun game. We love playing against other people. But it frequently freezes and we end up abandoning several games. Back in the 2000s on games.com you could play monopoly against other people and you had a ranking. That was a lot of fun. And if you were losing and you abandoned a game you would lose even more points. There was also a chat feature to talk to other people. We wish they would do something like that.
Nothing seem Radom when playing the computer . Looks rigged especially when playing on a higher difficulty.
The game is pretty good but we do have a few issues and the glaring issues are listed on top and less important ones are listed below. 1) in online multiplayer whenever we end our turn, the game would freeze and our game will not continue 2) reconnecting back to a game is difficult especially when compounding w/ issue #1 3) the timer clock for each player is not fast enough leading to long turns at times 4) game can be un smooth at times but we cna tolerate it (rather have good ui fps and crappy graphics than good graphics n choppy gameplay) 5) chance & chest cards that tell u to take/owe players money. Ie give 50 to each player or take 50 from each player, only affects 1 player and not everybody 6) mortgaging property whilst landing and buying a potential property should be illegal 7) colorsets should only work if all properties r active/unmortgaged.
For an App Store purchase game, the game crashes far too much. The game is super easy to play on phone/tablet, but they need to fix the whole crashing issue. It makes playing the game miserable when it crashes every other game.
As a Developer, we noticed that when we play against one hard opponent, he gets the rolls to dodge properties with houses nearly 85% of the time. Ive ran multiple trials to prove it. Hard does not better the opponents decisions but increases nullifies bad rolls. Please, code the game to be truly random.
We are constantly feeling that the game is rigged against us. The same pitfalls happen to us every game, the dice always.roll a number where we land on the luxury tax or income tax spots sometimes everytime we go around the board. Our opponent always seems to roll the number to gain the full suit.
Game works and is fun but Ive noticed that individual players land in the same spot at a rate of some 60 to 75% of the time. Same square each time around the board. This is statistically very VERY unlikely yet it always happens.
Monopoly is an amazing game, and this is as good as the board game, our only caveat is that it is 5$. But overall its worth it.
The graphics are good, but you have to pay for the game to start and then that only opens the most basic game. If you want different boards or pieces you have to pay more. Not that big if a deal, but the computer players have logic of a 4 yr old and will trade things no one in their right mind would trade – even on hard setting. Also, the computer dice rolls are a joke and they constantly roll numbers that conveniently land just after your properties or at a safe spot inside of them (chance/community chest). We paid attention to 10 games with 3 other computer players and every game we had to pay for houses/hotels and the computer not once. Also, Ive never landed on Boardwalk so much in a real game as we do when the computer has 4 houses on them. In fact, it isnt until the computer has houses and then we cant miss boardwalk. If the plan is to entice the user to spend more money, it has the opposite effect on us. Id imagine Ill be deleting this game and finding something else. Play at your own risk. We guarantee you will be as annoyed as we have been. Developers need to do a better job of trying to make this game more realistic.
We feel like the dice are rigged in this game cause Ive never landed on utility and rail road tracks so much while playing this and It seems like the cpu dodges all our property while we land on theirs or tax spot at the most convent times. The cpu makes dumb trades like giving up a monopoly to other cpu with little in return while you yourself can exploit this system. We love this game just feel like the dice needs to be random in general, theres some games where a property dosent get landed on all game and Ive never seen that while playing in real life.
We have been playing this game for a week now. We have probably played 20 games or so against AI. Not one time have we rolled to go first. Additionally, once we get properties and houses/hotels on them, good luck getting any player to randomly land on them. The game feels rigged against us. Its frustrating. And for $5 bucks you just get the game. No skins, no extra maps. Ive seen better development in free games. 2 stars for the nostalgia we get from playing the original board game which we love. Other than that, we would save our 5 dollars.
The game is really fun and we love being able to play online with our friends. One huge issue though, if you somehow leave the app or your phone dies theres no way to reconnect and lose all your progress. Its kinda annoying when you reach the end of the game and the game kicks you out. There should be a way to reconnect or join a game that is still ongoing.
Play a singles game, on the medium or hard mode. Little changes of success because you land on the house property multiple times, and never succeed as his token leaps merrily by your own stuff.
Ive always enjoyed monopoly. Its a very fun and strategic game and trust us we know playing against the AI isnt suppose to be tough, but come on now. Yall are in control of how the dice roll and all. Its funny how you start putting houses up or about to win and you always land on chance or community chess and have to always pay or go to jail. Then you always landing on the AI property and losing a winnable game. Im not saying it shouldnt be somewhat difficult but not to the point the game favors the AI. You may win a game out of 10 to 20 games. Unreal. If people are paying to get the game make it more reasonable for us players and buyers.
The graphics are fun. But, the way the computer trade away property for the lowest price to set up opponents is the worst! They can avoid your property so well too. Online have too many glitches as well.
Too often one can see how obvious it is as to whos going to win. We can more than likely be in the best position to win only to lose to who the game has predetermined to win. We dont expect victory every time but we know that Im often poised to win and we dont because of the luck of the dice.
We just had somebody skip over our property 7 times while we landed on theirs 5 times repeatedly. Game is not random at all. The dice are rigged and the chance and community cards are never in your favor. Ive probably landed on income tax 4 to 5 times in a game. Just fix the game for people who like competitive play. Getting on a knowing how the games about to go first roll is terrible.
Players can leave and you just sit there waiting endlessly, glitchy. Absolutely unplayable.
Why in the world would you have a limit on inventory of houses and hotels when this is electronic??? Yes when paying ($4.99 for the app) then playing this game it ran out hotels! So we couldnt build more and make money. In real life you dont run out of construction materials to build. PLEASE FIX THIS RIDICULOUS LIMIT.
We love Monopoly and have been playing the board game for many years. This game is always programmed for the AI to win. We owned a row with houses but none of the AI players landed on them in over 6 turns. Most of these properties were either bought by over paying a higher value from other AI players. We landed on every property from the AI in every roll. Avoid this game, the rolls are not randomly generated. In most cases we can guess where the AI will land.
This game is rigged . If you play against the Ai or a real person, the game knows exactly who it wants to win before the first piece even moves. One person is going to thrive through the match, the 2nd person will do alright and almost have a chance, but the the 3rd and 4th person is gonna get treated like the bottom of a shoe. They need to make the dice more random and not rigged to where literally one person is winning the whole game. You can literally have every property, but if the game doesnt want you to win, nobody will NEVER EVER land on your property. Theyll just skip pass every single time. This game is fun, but so rigged that you can predict whos gonna win off the first 3 moves.
