The quick verdict

Full verdict ↓

Great for Families who love the look of Monopoly but don't have three hours for it

Think twice if You want the trading, rent and deal-making of classic Monopoly, because none of that is here

How we rate it

Learning curve. Flipping and placing cash is simple, but there are five kinds of special card and four corner powers to learn, so a first game needs the reference card. That puts it a step above UNO, at 2 on our scale.

Luck & skill. The flips decide a lot, and a Bankrupt card can waste a whole turn. Your choices are when to stop, where to place cash and when to play Flip 2 or Nope!, which matter but rarely outweigh the luck.

Interaction. You cover other players' Cash cards on properties, force them to flip more with Flip 2 and block them with Nope!, but there is no trading or rent.

Set-up. Stand the buildings on their matching properties and the grey ones in the middle, then hand out a token deck, skyline rack and reference card to each player and shuffle the Chance cards.

Reading. Cash cards are numbers; the Chance cards and special cards have a line or two of English.

Learning curve: 1 = UNO or Connect 4; 3 = Catan; 5 = a heavy strategy game. These describe the experience, not an overall score.

Is Monopoly Chance right for you?

Great if

  • Families who love the look of Monopoly but don't have three hours for it
  • Children of 8 and up who enjoy the thrill of risking 'one more flip'
  • A quick game after dinner at a family get-together or on a holiday evening
  • A gift for a Monopoly fan who already owns the board game

Skip it if

  • You want the trading, rent and deal-making of classic Monopoly, because none of that is here
  • Your group dislikes luck: one early Bankrupt card can end your turn with nothing
  • You need a game for a train or bus, since it has a board and small plastic pieces

How Monopoly Chance plays

Monopoly Chance uses a Monopoly board, but nobody walks a token round it and there is no paper money, rent or trading. To set up, you stand coloured plastic buildings on their matching properties and put the grey buildings in the middle. Each player takes a 20-card token deck, a skyline rack and a reference card. Every deck has the same cards: one Cash card for each value from 2 to 12 million, four Bankrupt cards and a few special cards.

  • Time to teach: about 10 minutes.
  • Reading and language: Cash cards are just numbers, so most of the game needs no reading. The 8 Chance cards, the reference card and the special cards (Flip 2, Nope!, Lucky Break) carry short English instructions that a parent can read out. We found no Hindi or regional-language edition.

A turn, step by step

    Roll the die. If you roll the ? face, draw a Chance card, do what it says and roll again.

  2. 2
    Flip

    Flip up to that many cards from your deck, one at a time, or stop and cash out. A Bankrupt card ends your turn unless you flipped a Lucky Break first.

  3. 3
    Claim

    Place every Cash card you flipped on a property, beating its printed value or the Cash card already on top.

  4. 4
    Win

    At the end of each round, top Cash cards win buildings for your skyline. When a skyline reaches the finish mark, the longest one wins.

The full explanation: how a game of Monopoly Chance goes

On your turn you roll the die and may flip up to that many cards from your deck, one at a time. You can stop early and call 'Cash out!'. If you flip a Bankrupt card your turn ends at once and the cards are wasted, unless you flipped a Lucky Break first. Then you must place every Cash card you flipped on a property, and each one has to beat the property's printed value or the Cash card already on top. Rolling the ? face means you draw a Chance card, do what it says and roll again.

The special cards add the fun. Flip 2 forces another player to flip two more cards after they have stopped, which may hit a Bankrupt. Nope! protects a property you are holding or blocks a Flip 2. Your Token card goes on an empty corner of the board for a one-off power: depending on the corner, you can play a Cash card from your draw or discard pile, put a Cash card on any property whatever its value, or knock another player's Cash card off the board.

When every property that still has buildings has a Cash card on it, everyone gets one last turn and the round ends. Whoever's card is on top of a property takes one of its buildings for their skyline rack, and a matching pair of buildings earns a bonus grey one. Decks are reshuffled for the next round. At the end of a round in which someone's skyline reaches the finish mark, the longest skyline wins.

Hasbro's own tips: keep track of the Bankrupt cards you have already flipped, so you know how risky your deck is; go for the high-value properties, whose bigger buildings fill your skyline faster; and save your Nope! for the end of a round, when the stakes are highest.

About the editions

Hasbro India sells an Indian-made Monopoly Chance. Hasbro's own game guide for item F8555 is the Indian print: it gives Hasbro India's consumer helpline and says 'Made in India'. Boxes made for North America look almost the same but are printed in English and French and marked made in China. Our Amazon.in link goes to the F8555 listing that names Monopoly as the brand and gives India as the country of origin.

Before you choose

  • The box should carry the Monopoly and Hasbro Gaming logos and the item number F8555. The Indian print's game guide gives Hasbro India's consumer helpline (1800223800) and says 'Made in India'.
  • Check the contents: a gameboard, 4 token decks of 20 cards each, 4 reference cards, 8 Chance cards, 32 translucent plastic buildings, 4 skyline racks, a die with a ? face, and a game guide.
  • Each token deck should hold one Cash card of every value from 2 to 12 million, plus Bankrupt, Lucky Break, Flip 2, Nope! and Token cards.
  • Choose a listing that names Monopoly or Hasbro as the brand. A box from an unknown brand with 'Chance' in its name is not this game.

What reviewers and players say

Full reviews of Monopoly Chance are still scarce. The ones we found praise how quickly it plays, how easy the rules are to pick up, and how it feels new while keeping Monopoly's look, colours and properties. The main complaint is the luck: you can flip a Bankrupt card on your very first flip and lose the turn. On a board-gaming forum, one player said this version isn't too bad and called it a push-your-luck deck game, while another group needed help with how Nope! works against a Token card.

What people love

  • Short games of about 20 minutes, with rules that are quick to learn
  • The push-your-luck flipping makes every turn tense, and anyone can be forced to flip two more
  • It keeps the Monopoly board, colours and buildings while playing in a completely new way
  • Bright, colour-coded buildings make it easy to see who owns what and who is ahead

Common complaints

  • A lot of luck: a Bankrupt card on your first flip can wipe out your turn
  • Some card interactions, such as Nope! against a Token card on Free Parking, cause rules arguments

Questions people ask about Monopoly Chance

Is Monopoly Chance the same as Monopoly?

No. It uses the Monopoly board, properties and buildings, but nobody moves round the board and there is no paper money, rent or trading. You flip cards from your own deck for cash, claim properties with them and race to fill a skyline rack, and a game takes about 20 minutes instead of hours.

How long does Monopoly Chance take to play?

Hasbro gives an average of about 20 minutes. A game is a few short rounds, and a slower four-player game can stretch to around half an hour.

Is Monopoly Chance made in India?

The Indian print is. Hasbro's game guide for item F8555 gives Hasbro India's consumer helpline and says 'Made in India', while boxes made for North America are marked made in China. Our Amazon.in link goes to the F8555 listing that gives India as the country of origin.

Does Monopoly Chance have Indian city names?

No. Hasbro's guide for the Indian print refers to the American Monopoly properties, from Baltic Avenue up to Boardwalk. If you want Indian cities on the board, look at the India editions of the Monopoly board game instead.

Can two people play Monopoly Chance?

Yes. Hasbro lists it for 2 to 4 players and the rules are the same at every count. With three or four players, more people fight over each property and the Flip 2 and Nope! cards have more targets.
