The Monopolist

Introduction

The Monopolist is a play-to-earn blockchain board strategy game where players can own NFT characters and earn MONO and MOB tokens on the Binance Smart Chain network. Players take turns rolling the dice and taking actions in a board game of real estate. The game is available to play on web browsers.

Gameplay

The Monopolist is a take on the popular board game Monopoly. The game requires financial thinking and economic risk management in order to be successful. There are two main game modes; a 1v1 mode and a four-player free-for-all mode. Each mode requires players to bet a certain number of MONO tokens to start, and the winner takes all.

Players take turns rolling the dice to advance on the board and perform actions. The Board has purchasable estates like city-states, railroads, waterworks, or electric companies. Players can purchase these properties to tax other players whenever they land on their assets. Each player starts with a fixed amount of in-game money. They will have to spread out their earnings and plan where to buy in order to get a lead on other players. The goal of the game is to bankrupt other players and be the sole player who still has money and property. Aside from these gameplay aspects, there are chance and community cards that are drawn whenever a player lands on the corresponding tiles that may result in either a reward or a punishment, such as staying in jail for a number of turns. 

The game allows players to own characters through NFT cards that feature different tiers. Tiers range from low, high, and legendary, which have sockets that can be equipped with hash power-enhancing medals. Players can earn medals by scoring highly in games. Characters also have ranks such as C, B, A, S, and R levels that determine their base hash power. NFT characters can be bought directly from the marketplace or gained from lucky boxes. 

The Monopolist is also a part of the Monoverse. The NFTs and the tokens are usable in the ecosystem's other projects. This increases the longevity and value of the game’s assets, as well as makes the project much more sustainable. Players can mine with their characters to earn passive income in the game.

Token Information

MONO and MOB tokens can be traded within the game's decentralized exchange. MONO tokens act as governance tokens and have a finite supply, while MOB tokens are the in-game currency that has an unlimited supply. MOB is a sub-token that can be earned through completing quests or by staking MONO tokens.
