Two players, one machine, one evening
Freakopoly is a property-trading board game for two people in the same room.
Roll, move, buy streets, build on them, and collect rent when your partner
lands on something you own.
Rent is not only money. Every coloured property carries a task, and the task
grows with the street. One house asks for very little. A hotel asks for
rather more.
Nobody wins
There is no win condition and no bankruptcy screen. A player who cannot cover
a payment has their tab wiped, and play carries on. The evening ends when the
two of you decide it has, not when one of you loses.
How it plays
- A forty-space board: eight colour groups, four stations, two utilities,
and a Doghouse where the jail would be
- Two card decks, Wild Night and Dare to Share
- Houses, hotels, mortgages, a Free Parking pot, and four house rules you
can switch on or off
- Autosaves every turn, so an evening can be picked up where you left it
- Five looks for the table, from firelit wood to neon
Written with some care
- No task needs props, equipment, or a particular room. Whatever the game
asks for, you can do where you already are.
- Nothing is written to embarrass or belittle either player.
- Nothing assumes who is playing. No task refers to a gender, a body or a
role — the writing says "your partner" and leaves the rest to you.
It stays on your machine
Freakopoly runs entirely offline. No account, no sign-in, no connection at
any point, and nothing ever leaves your computer.
