Games like Monopoly you can play online
Online games in the property-trading family, what each one is actually like, and which kind of evening each suits.
Play KirayaThe games people mean by "like Monopoly" split into a few families: the official digital editions, mobile games that borrow the theme, free browser property games, and trading games that share the negotiation rather than the board. Kiraya is one of the free browser property games, and this page is written by the people who make it, so read the descriptions of everything else as a starting point and try the ones that sound right.
The families, side by side
| Game | Where it runs | How it is paid for | Trading between players |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monopoly (official digital editions) | PC, consoles and phones | Bought from a store | Yes, the classic rules |
| Monopoly GO | Phones | Free, with in-app purchases | Not negotiation in the board-game sense |
| Richup.io | Web browser | Free to play | Yes |
| Opolyx | Web browser, plus an iPhone app | Free, with an optional paid VIP pass | Yes, with auctions |
| Foonopoly (on foony.com) | Web browser | Free, with paid cosmetics | Check its site |
| Business Tour | PC (Steam) and phones | Free to play | Check its store page |
| Rento Fortune | PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch | Bought from a store; console online play needs the platform subscription | Yes |
| Kiraya | Web browser, desktop or phone | Free, nothing to buy, no account | Yes: cash and deeds, with counteroffers |
| Catan and its online versions | Browser, PC and phones, depending on version | Varies by version | Yes, resources rather than property |
If you want the real thing
The official editions are the licensed game with its board, names and rules. They cost money and are built around a store and a platform, which is the right trade if your group wants the brand and a polished presentation and everyone owns the same console or storefront.
If you want to play with friends tonight
A browser game is the shortest path from "shall we play" to the first roll, because nobody installs anything. Richup.io, Opolyx, Foonopoly and Kiraya are all free browser games in this genre and are worth opening side by side: the useful comparison is how fast your group gets into a room and whether the board is readable on the smallest phone at the table.
If you want progression
Some browser games in this family keep a record of you between sessions: Opolyx, for example, has levels, collectible cards and several game modes. Kiraya deliberately does not — no accounts, no levels, nothing carried over — so if climbing a ladder is part of the fun for your group, one of those is the better fit.
If what you actually like is the dealing
Plenty of people remember the arguments more than the board: the trade that won the game, the set nobody would sell. That part is a negotiation game, and it is what Kiraya is built around. Any player can offer any other a mix of cash and deeds from both sides, the other player can accept, decline or counter with different terms, and bots answer offers too. Catan is the other classic negotiation game, trading resources instead of property, and is a good next step if your group likes that part best.

What Kiraya is not for
- Progress that carries between sessions: there are no accounts, profiles or rankings, and a room ends when the last player leaves.
- Lots of board variety: there are two original maps, World Tour and Harborline.
- Offline play: games run on the server, so a connection is needed.
