In a recent, historic poll, players throughout the world had their say, and every card has changed! These new Community Chest Cards will replace the original set in all editions of the classic game going forward. Play with the brand new cards in-game today!

Hello MONOPOLY players!
The term “less is more” generally goes against the MONOPOLY ideals of buying EVERYTHING on the board. But it’s an apt description for our latest update: LESS in-game wrinkles, and MORE fun!
- We resolved a freezing issue with house sales
- We made a pop-up about house sales more easy to understand in all the countries
We’re always making sure there’s LESS to get in the way, while you build MORE property empires!
