Monopoly USA 2013 is a digital replica of the class board game where you buy property and get as much money as possible while bankrupting the competition. This is almost exactly like playing the board game, but there are some advantages that make the game less tedious. For example, you won't have to count your money manually or check through your owned properties.

Game Premise

Monopoly USA 2013 is exactly the same as the board game in terms of premise. Each player starts by choosing an icon to represent them on the board. You will then roll dice and move according to your roll. Players can decide to buy whichever property they land on and owners can add hotels on their properties. Whenever another player lands on an owned property they must pay a preset fee to stay there.

The game is simple to understand and the action gets heated as each player tries to be the richest while bankrupting the other players.

There are several different iterations of Monopoly that use different rules and pieces. This is based off the original rules, which means it's exactly like playing the classic game.

Number of Players

You can have up to four players simultaneously. This is the maximum number of players, but you can have just two or three people if you would prefer. While some games allow for more players, four should be enough to keep Monopoly interesting as each player increases their fortunes.

Simple Interface

This game has a very simple interface that makes it easier for each player. When playing your board game, you have to count your money and make sure you keep all your properties organized. Monopoly USA 2013 does all this work for you and makes it simple to know what you have so that you can make smarter decisions.

Under each player's name you will see how much money they have and what properties they own. This also makes it easier to see which player is winning. The game will also automatically move to the next player when one is finished with their turn. This ensures that no one forgets who goes next.

No Animations

Unlike some other Monopoly computer games that have animations, this one is considerably plain. There are no animations that activate when you go to jail, buy a property or go around the board. Even the board itself has a very flat design that shows the graphics and colors of the property.

This makes the game look a little dull, but it does replicate the original board game design very well. Purists who only want to play the game might prefer this, but others might prefer a more lively design.

Easy to Run

This is mostly due to the flat design and lack of animations. Monopoly USA 2013 is an exceptionally light game that should play on nearly any computer without any lagging or issues. The game requires very little processing power, which means that older systems can play this worrying about glitching or the game freezing.
