There’s also more chances to grow a family. That’s not how this game is formatted. Also landing on someone’s number in the board game required payout from the bank, not the player who landed on it. This game is disappointing. ### 4/5 — Very pretty good *2026-08-25, version 1.0.4* I just went on this game and it’s already asking me what I rate it every time I try to tap something it keeps on swaying to each side, not cool by the way this is a kid doing this a 6 year old. ### 2/5 — Could be great but isn’t *2026-08-18, version 1.0.4* I got this because I loved the classic board game and most of the time this app does not live up to it. Having cute outfits and vehicles to drive is cute but there’s not many options of employment (I also hate a video blogger gets more than a pop star and whatever happened to being a doctor or plumber?) or homes for that matter (why would someone buy a dorm house?) but what really makes me mad is that while you have multiple attempts to be educated, buy a home, and even get married - you don’t have that many shots at growing your family. This wouldn’t upset me if it wasn’t something you needed to do to complete challenges to get collectibles! I’ve played at least fifty games of the first game and still can’t get the last collectable because I can’t grow my family! It’s starting to get boring. I take the paths every time but it’s impossible to spin the correct number! And it’s never an action card! Also what happened to having twins or why can’t I choose between cat and dog?! You’ll give players huge cars and I don’t know why because it’s a dang miracle just to get one kid or pet! This isn’t the worst game but it’s certainly frustrating if you want to complete challenges. I love the option of the different boards, it’s something. Edit: just played six games straight, tried my best, can’t upgrade family, can’t win one game. I even did a pass and play and my main character still couldn’t win. The game is rigged against you. I’m about to give up. This isn’t fun. ### 3/5 — Could be great but isn’t *2026-08-05* I got this because I loved the classic board game and most of the time this app does not live up to it.

I saw many people had problems with there being no single player option, but I played it and it was great. I do agree with others and love that you can customize your character, and glad that I haven’t experienced any of the bugs I read about. I love this game! ### 5/5 — Love it BUT.. *2026-07-19* I love playing this game, I used to play the board game when I was younger. This game is wonderful, the graphics are stunning, interactive and addictive. I love the animations. However, I would recommend making the game free or reducing its price and making Royal Passes and in-game rewards like in UNO. Including awards will make this game a 1000 times more interactive and likeable. Also, add more colors to the characters and vehicles. I think the worlds are enough at this point but it would be nicer to have more distinction and uniqueness to those worlds. I do appreciate the sounds and graphics in each world, they definitely are distinct but I mean, trying something wild and changing the structure of the game in different worlds like for eg, instead of getting married in Haunted Hills, you die by an accident and become a ghost which gets you scary points (instead of happy points). This game should have a bigger fanbase though. ❤️ **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback and suggestions! I will definitely pass them on to the team for consideration on future updates. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the game so much.

Retirement is useless bc you’ll land on red everything. You will always land on taxes and we’ll pay out every player for landing on their favorite number. ### 2/5 — Mixed *2026-06-27* It gets boring quite quickly and you get the feeling it’s not fair. The bank always wins. 🙃 Or maybe I’m just unlucky. ### 5/5 — No review *2026-06-26, version 1.0.4* It’s so weird that I feeltoo o awkward to write review ### 5/5 — More options *2026-06-25, version 1.0.4* It would be great to be able to use your points at the end of a round to be able to purchase stuff. like an avatar or a car ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ABSOLUTE CINEMA *2026-07-11, version 1.0.4* THIS GAME IS SO 67 AND I LOVE IT NO CAP AMONG US ### 1/5 — Ne marche pas *2026-06-24, version 1.0.4* Des fois Sa de sign in pour jouer mais je suis déjà sign in ### 1/5 — This game hates me *2026-06-22, version 1.0.4* I am so absolutely tired of spending nothing but a one or two and then throughout the entire game landing on taxes. It feels like I’m getting nowhere every single freaking game. I don’t know what I did to upset the developer of this game, but it’s starting to feel personal. ### 1/5 — So rigged *2026-05-21, version 1.0.4* The computers never land on my lucky number, while always landing on each others’. They also somehow manage to always get the 100k and profit from selling their houses. Hmm. ### 1/5 — Not a lot of variety *2026-03-15, version 1.0.4* Seems like I always spin high numbers that make the game go by quick. Don’t land on different tiles. Just not a lot of variety and most the time I’m waiting in the computer to play. Fun with other people, but again not a lot of variety. How many bowling tournaments can 1 person play? 1 game I literally paid taxes the entire game. Spins and actions need to be mixed up more. ### 1/5 — How I’m mad *2026-01-31, version 1.0.4* My mom has options I don’t have. She set the permission to let me play, but it still doesn’t work!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — OKAY YOU CAN DROP DEAD NOW *2026-01-11, version 1.0.4* USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO COMMIT SUICIDE ON YOURSELVES JUST LIKE JASON DAVID FRANK DID WHILE ON AN OUTING WITH HIS WIFE WHEN SHE LEFT THE HOTEL ROOM JASON HUNG HIMSELF!FIRST JASON WHY!?SECOND DON’T DO WHAT HE DID! ### 1/5 — Computer too slow *2025-12-23, version 1.0.4* Please make the computer turns go faster oh my gosh the 5x is so slow and I get so bored waiting. I have quit several times because they take so long. ### 1/5 — Ruim *2025-12-20* Esse jogo é sorte no azar, não tem nem graça jogar ### 1/5 — Rigged *2025-12-10, version 1.0.4* Rigged ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aleksigggkjkkfc *2026-08-28, version 1.0.4* YyrrccwwAleksi ### 5/5 — love th e game *2026-08-28, version 1.0.4* no lag no nothing really fun to play ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-25, version 1.0.4* Pretty chill loki 😃😃😃 ### 5/5 — READ THIS *2026-08-24, version 1.0.4* This game is truly amazing!
