Released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, Monopoly is a board, card or party game developed by DSI Games and published by Zoo Digital Publishing.

It landed about 3 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2004 include The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Sonic Advance 3.

It is part of the Monopoly series. The series also appears on other systems with Monopoly (NES) and Monopoly (N64). DSI Games also made Smuggler's Run, Chicken Shoot 2 and Harlem Globetrotters: World Tour for the GBA.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want action or story rather than tabletop-style play
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Monopoly is like

Board, card, quiz and party games bring tabletop classics and social games to the screen, from chess and mahjong to trivia and casino games.

Tip for newcomers: These games are usually best with company; check how many players are supported before game night.
