But what about if you fancy trying something different, yet not too different?

For whatever reason, Scopely's rendition of the tabletop classic Monopoly has proven to be a huge smash hit. Which is probably good for them, considering it's one of the more expensive mobile games ever produced. And with its engaging mix of board game-style gameplay, daily activities (like daily dice) and competitive play, Monopoly Go is a real hit with players.
But you may find yourself wanting to give some other options a try. Yet what really hits as Monopoly Go does, you may wonder? Well, don't fret because we've actually hit on the idea of looking at three other interesting Monopoly Go-likes which might be well worth trying! So read on and find out more.
Now, this is probably one of those little 'love it or hate it' examples. Because Top Tycoon is very obviously cribbing from virtually every playbook by mixing in Monopoly-style gameplay, resource tycoon and building mechanics. Aside from the nightmarish-looking mascot that looks like Freddy Fazbear's rich grandpa, however, Top Tycoon is a relatively inoffensive take on the style if you can get past that.
This is where we get into some of the really interesting examples. Coin Master needs no introduction as one of the hit casual puzzlers on mobile, so it's inevitable they'd get in on the success of Monopoly Go with one of their own takes on the format. Coin Master: Board Adventure throws in plenty of mechanics too, all built around navigating the board, collecting rewards and then completing buildings and villages outside it. If you were a Coin Master fan before getting into Monopoly Go, then this offers a very acceptable substitute with some interesting new mechanics.
Probably the most interesting example on this list. LINE will be familiar to many readers from Asia, as it's one of the more popular messaging apps abroad in places such as Japan. Just like Coin Master, this is pretty much a straight riff on the Monopoly Go concept, complete with the building of landmarks and various minigames to jump into. It has a much cutesier, child-friendly image, however. Might not hold up to its main competitor, but a credible alternative if you're looking for one!
