Common beginner mistake
Buying too aggressively and running out of liquid cash leaves you exposed to taxes, rent spikes, and bad chance pulls.
Beginner Guide
How to play Craft Monopoly
Craft Monopoly is a local, pass-and-play property game for 2–10 people, with optional AI players. Take turns rolling two dice, claiming plots, collecting rent, and keeping enough coins to survive the World Storm.
1. Start your table
- Open the homepage and choose the number of players.
- Set each slot to human or AI.
- Choose a skin for each player.
- Launch the match and wait for the first turn prompt.
2. Take your turn
Roll two six-sided dice and move that many spaces around the 28-space board. Resolve the tile you land on, then finish your turn. Passing Spawn earns 300 coins; landing there also grants a 450-coin bonus.
3. Buy smart properties
Buy an unowned plot when you land on it. In the three-plot biomes, owning at least two gives your properties there a 1.4× rent bonus. If you land on your own plot, you can spend coins to upgrade it.
4. Understand the main tile types
Property tiles
Buy them when available, then use them to collect rent from other players.
Creeper Tax
Two tax spaces charge 260 or 340 coins. Keep a cash buffer instead of spending every coin on land and upgrades.
Loot Chests and Lucky Blocks
Event cards can award or remove coins, or move you forward. If a move passes Spawn, its bonus also applies.
Nightfall and Village
Landing on Nightfall makes you miss your next turn. The Village gives you 160 coins.
Upgrades and rent
Upgrades raise a plot’s rent. Higher levels are powerful, but the money spent is no longer available to cover rent, taxes, or the World Storm.
5. Win condition
The World Storm begins after a player-count-dependent setup period. Its upkeep is charged when each player rolls and rises over time. If your balance is below zero when your turn resolves, you go bankrupt and your plots return to the board. The last solvent player wins.
A simple first-game plan
In the opening, claim useful plots without emptying your wallet. As players approach the same biome, watch who is one purchase away from a majority. Upgrade when the added rent is worth the cash you give up, and reassess your reserve as World Storm upkeep rises.
Playing locally
This is not online multiplayer: everyone shares one device and passes it between turns, or you can fill the table with AI. No account or download is needed.
