Monopoly Madness: a video game full of madness and chaos

Monopoly Madness is everything you’ve come to expect from the classic board game, but on video game steroids.

Monopoly is one of the most iconic board games of all time. That does not alter the fact that the format may no longer be completely up-to-date. Playing dice quietly, trading and being in prison for hours only to end up in a savage discussion; it may need an update. That’s exactly what Ubisoft is doing with the new Monopoly video game: Monopoly Madness.

Monopoly Madness

At its core, Monopoly is a game about owning as much real estate as possible. After all, if you own enough streets, there is a greater chance that opponents will spend the night in your hotels or houses and have to pay you rent for it. Monopoly Madness keeps that principle, but with a big pinch of video game explosiveness.

Touch of video game magic

In Monopoly Madness you buy and upgrade buildings again. But that is happening at a tremendous speed. Players move through Monopoly City in real time, buying houses, collecting money, searching for materials and thwarting others. The latter is mainly a new feature for Monopoly; players can collect bulldozers and jackhammers to destroy the hotels and houses of others!

Ultimately, the goal of Monopoly Madness is to be the first to collect a certain number of points. Each building is worth a number of points depending on the upgrades and in this fast-paced game that amount fluctuates continuously per player. Thwarting, imprisoning, destroying property; the six players are constantly working with each other in Monopoly Madness.

The video game Monopoly Madness comes out on December 9 for just about all platforms ever. That is, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, Ubisoft Connect PC, Epic games and Luna.
