Been playing this game in almost all my free time for a week and love it, but there are a couple things that bug me a lot. The first one being my game doesn’t always save. A majority of the time when this happens, it’s just my most recent turn that doesn’t save, but there have been a couple times when I started over a new game because I didn’t want to wait around 5-20 minutes to get bankrupted only for the new game I start to not save at all and I’m back to the old one I just quit. Another thing is it’s very annoying when an AI tries to make the exact same trade every turn. They’ll try and get me to trade something for the same property and same amount of money so many times in a row even though I keep hitting reject trade. Also it seems like the AI’s work together sometimes against me instead of working for themselves. One AI will accept a stupid trade just so another AI can get a monopoly to put houses on. Like the first AI will give another AI one of the good monopolies in exchange for something like a second railroad and $50. Why? These are the only real complaints I have about these games but otherwise I do like it a lot. I have played many hours already in the week I have it. Worth the money but I hope at least the game being saved properly will be fixed soon.

Fun but want more customization. The monopoly rule that when you go bankrupt, regardless of total debt owed, all assets go to the player to whom the debt is owed is totally ridiculous. If I owed $100 to a friend and couldn’t pay they wouldn’t get everything I own. The bank/collections would when they seized my home and assets lol. The player should get compensated for the debt fairly at atleastttt that value FIRST (lots of fun options here)…and then all properties can either go to auction for all or be returned to the bank and become available for purchase as you roll. Otherwise players that have been getting trounced all game can just get ridiculous freebies (properties, sets, etc) at the expense of the wealthy players who really did the “bankrupting.” Totally absurd. As an example, I just all but bankrupted 2 CPUs with my hard-fought-for sets and then in succession they both owed the 3rd CPU player less than $30 each on their next rolls and went bankrupt…and suddenly the worst player on the board just got 4 complete mortgaged sets and every other property on the board. Laughable. Maybe thats a Monopoly rule bc this game was made for teens? Regardless, never played that way as a kid bc it was a joke and ain’t playing that way now.

This game should easily be 5 stars. It looks amazing, it’s got great visuals and animations, the controls and interface are fantastic, and it has great pacing. There’s just one big problem that makes it very frustrating to play. When you play against AI set to Medium or Hard difficulty, your rolls are sabotaged. I’m Easy mode, players all hit spaces with the same random likelihood and the AI players will just accept almost any trade you make them, making it easy to win. In Medium mode and higher, rather than making the AI more intelligent with their decisions, the game just makes your rolls extremely unlikely to be good, which is not a fun way to increase the difficulty at all. At the start of the game, you will almost always either hit a space that is owned or you will hit community chest. The AI players will often have 5-7 properties before you get the opportunity to buy even one, so there is almost no way to catch up, and the AIs will freely trade each other color sets constantly. Also, I hit Income Tax probably 5-6 times per game. Seriously, keep track of your games and you will realize you hit Income Tax at a much, much higher rate than any other space on the board. It’s a beautifully designed game that should be a blast to play, but the odds are clearly stacked against you which makes it not much fun, unfortunately.
