You also get to choose which token you use. You can also set the difficulty by choosing how good the AI is – from Very Easy through to Hard.

So, you can choose a one-player game and add one to five AI players, or six humans, or a mix of multiple human and AI-controlled players. Up to six people can play Monopoly on Switch at once, and you can use computer AI to fill any gaps too. I won’t cover them all here, but you can read about them in full in this post about the Monopoly for Nintendo Switch instructions. Once you’ve chosen your board, it’s time to set the rules – there are loads of options, from classic, to speed dice and action cards, or to specific goals. None of the boards change how you play, but it’s nice to have a little variety to keep things fresh.

Living Board: Haunted Theme – The second board with new spaces, these are all ‘spooky’ properties such as Ogre’s Den, The Haunted Corner, and so on, with the board having an overall Halloween-esque graphical theme.

Living Board: Amusement Theme – The first of the boards to change the properties, this whole board is amusement park-themed, with graphics and properties related to rides and attraction.

The City Theme uses the same properties and just has a lot of city-related items to liven up the look of the board.

Living Board: City Theme – The Living Boards work in the same way as the Classic ones but have much more going on graphically in the middle of the board itself.

It’s purely a cosmetic change – the properties and cards are named exactly as they are in Classic Monopoly but there are pictures of Rabbids on spaces.

Rabbids Board – Exactly the same as the Classic board but with a Rabbids theme from the Rayman offshoot Rabbids franchise.

Classic Board – Your original Monopoly board, with all the same spaces and design you’d expect if you bought the physical standard Monopoly game.
