ECONOPOLY

Converting Monopoly into a Family Friendly Euro-Game

Econopoly


There is no game known to humankind that has caused more violence than Monopoly. It can be a savage experience that has led to many table-flips over the years. It’s also one of the best selling games of all time, with over 275 million copies sold worldwide. Players proceed to remove each other from the game until there is only one left standing. For those taken out along the way and left sitting around twiddling their thumbs and questioning their life choices, the experience can be somewhat traumatic and is often cited as one of the leading contributors to the euro-game craze that makes everyone a winner and keeps the whole table engaged.

Rather than abandoning this classic in favour of the more modern family-friendly games, we asked the question – how can we transform Monopoly into a euro-game whilst also introducing more realistic market conditions to bring variety to every game?

Our answer to this question is Econopoly – the first official modification published by Moddable.Games.

The primary design objectives of Econopoly are as follows:

  • Introduce euro-style resource management and victory point scoring system
  • Ensure that every game is different to the last by introducing unique objectives

Regular Monopoly rules should be followed with the following exceptions:

  • Replace community chest cards with the new resource deck
  • Replace chance cards with the new event deck
  • On your turn you may either move, trade or build
