You Wanna Deal? How to Conquer Monopoly Plus on PS App (Without Starting a Family Feud)
Ah, Monopoly. The game that's built lifelong friendships... and shattered them just as easily. Buckle up, because Monopoly Plus on PS App is here to bring the classic chaos, with a shiny new 3D twist. This guide will equip you to dominate the board (and maybe avoid landing in jail for "excessive Monopoly gloating").
Step 1: Downloading Don't Be a Doofus! (The Game, Not You)
First things first, you'll need the game, obvs. Head over to the PlayStation Store and search for Monopoly Plus. Don't get sidetracked by that self-help audiobook on "Anger Management for Competitive Board Gamers" (trust me, you won't need it... yet). Look for the snazzy 3D city on the cover – that's your golden ticket. Pro tip: Downloading the game while you gather your fellow players is a great way to avoid those awkward "So, uh... what do you wanna play?" silences.
Step 2: Welcome to the Monopoly Multiverse: Picking Players and Playstyles
Monopoly Plus offers two ways to play: local and online. Local is perfect for those cozy nights with friends and family (emphasis on "cozy" before someone flips the table). Online lets you unleash your inner tycoon on the world, but you'll need a PS Plus subscription to join the party.
Number of Players: You can play with 1-6 players locally, so grab your most ruthless (or strategically challenged) buddies. Online allows up to 6 players, so you can finally settle that Monopoly grudge match with your cousin from across the country.
House Rules? More Like House Brawls!
This is where things get interesting. Monopoly Plus lets you customize the rules to your liking. Want a faster game? Use the Speed Die. Feeling chaotic? Pick from a selection of house rules like "Free Parking Frenzy" (where landing on Free Parking pays out a pot of cash). Just remember, the more ruthless the rules, the higher the risk of someone throwing a controller (hopefully not literally).
Step 3: Game Time! Let the Bidding Wars Commence
We're getting down to the nitty-gritty. The gameplay is classic Monopoly with a fancy 3D makeover. Roll the dice, buy properties, build those hotels (because who needs houses?), and collect rent from your unfortunate opponents. The app uses your DualShock controller, so you'll be flicking that joystick like a pro as you navigate the vibrant 3D board.
But Wait, There's More! Snazzy Features of Monopoly Plus
- Photo Finish: Capture those hilarious "Go directly to jail" moments and gloat-worthy hotel empires with the in-game photo feature.
- Remote Play: Want to dominate the game from the comfort of your bed? Remote Play lets you connect your PS4 to your smartphone or tablet and continue your reign of financial terror on the go.
Remember: Monopoly Plus is all about having fun (and maybe a little friendly competition). So, grab your friends, choose your playstyle, and get ready to become the ultimate Monopoly mogul (or the most hated person in the room, that's also a possibility).
