Released for the Sega Master System in 1988, Monopoly is a board, card or party game developed by Nexa and published by SEGA.

It landed about 2 years into the Master System's life. Other notable Master System releases from 1988 include Double Dragon, R-Type and Shinobi.

It is part of the Monopoly series. The series also appears on other systems with Monopoly (NES) and Monopoly (N64). Nexa also made Aladdin for the Master System.

Monopoly supports up to 10 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 Master System hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

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