Released for the Game Boy Color in 1998, Monopoly is a board, card or party game developed by Majesco.

It belongs to the GBC's earliest wave of games. Other notable GBC releases from 1998 include Wario Land II, Pokémon Trading Card Game and Bomberman Quest.

It is part of the Monopoly series. The series also appears on other systems with Monopoly (NES) and Monopoly (N64).

Monopoly supports up to 4 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

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

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want action or story rather than tabletop-style play
