Monopoly Deal

This is a recreation of the physical card game, Monopoly Deal, playable on PC platforms. Monopoly Deal contrasts from its board game counterpart in that it is quite fast-paced and can be played within 15 minutes or so. The objective is to be the first to reach 3 complete sets of properties.

I originally started making this project with the intention of it being something that I just play with my friends and myself. We had been wanting to be able to play Monopoly Deal remotely for the better part of a decade now, so I made it since there wasn't any solution that appeased us. While it is still in development and may have issues here and there, it has come a long way since its first inception. The amount of available customization and modding support can make the game exactly how you like it.

How To Play

Option 1: Installer (Windows only)

Video Tutorial For Installer

Alternate tutorial for older version explaining how to get the basic functionality setup for the client/server(Mac-specific tutorial here). Credit to Zyga for kindly creating the videos.

Download the latest installer and install the game.

Running the Game

Run the client with the shortcut on your desktop(if you chose to create one), searching for "Monopoly Deal", or navigating to C:\Program Files\Monopoly Deal(or where you chose to install it) and running Monopoly Deal.exe. The client's data files are stored and can be found at C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Monopoly Deal.

You can play Singleplayer straight away, or connect to a server. To connect to a server, type in the IP:Port provided by the server host. If you're playing on a server hosted on your own computer, connect to localhost:27599.

Hosting the Server

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Monopoly Deal(or where you chose to install it) and run Start Server.bat. From there, you can play by yourself with bots, or you may invite your friends to play by giving them your IP and port used for the server(example: 123.456.7.89:27599). However, to be able to have your friends join, you will need to port-forward or use a proxy like Ngrok. The default port is 27599, this may be changed in the config.txt file that is generated by the server. The server files can be found at C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Monopoly Deal\server.

Option 2: Jar Files (All Operating Systems)

Expand Instructions

Java 8 is required to run both the client and the server. Later versions of Java probably will not work.

Running the Game

Download the latest client jar and run it with javaw.exe from your Java 8 installation. You will be asked if you want to store the client's data in the application data folder on your PC or in the same folder the jar is running in.

You can play Singleplayer straight away, or connect to a server. To connect to a server, type in the IP:Port provided by the server host. If you're playing on a server hosted on your own computer, connect to localhost:27599.

Hosting the Server

Download the latest server jar and run it with java.exe from your Java 8 installation. This will generate data files in the same folder the jar is running in. From there, you can play by yourself with bots, or you may invite your friends to play by giving them your IP and port used for the server(example: 123.456.7.89:27599). However, to be able to have your friends join, you will need to port-forward or use a proxy like Ngrok. The default port is 27599, this may be changed in the config.txt file that is generated by the server.

Useful Server Commands

  • start: Deal out 5 cards to all players and start the game.
  • reset: Puts all the cards back in the deck.
  • op [Player Name]: Give a player server operator permissions, allowing them to execute all commands that the console could right from the in-game chat(accessible with the T key). deop can be used to revoke these permissions from a player. Simply preface your chat message with a "/" to indicate you're executing a command in-game. Example: /start
  • addbot <Name>: Add a bot into your game.
  • kick [Player Name]: Remove a player or bot from the game and return all of their cards back to the deck.
