Okay, so I was playing Monopoly Go the other day, right? And I got to thinking, “How many freaking boards are even in this game?” It feels like I’ve been playing forever and I’m still seeing new ones.
So, naturally, I did what any self-respecting gamer would do: I started digging around online. But honestly, the info was all over the place. Some sites said one thing, others said another. It was a total mess.
My Quest Begins: I decided to take matters into my own hands. My initial plan was simple: I’d just keep playing and try to keep track myself. This quickly turned into a nightmare of scribbled notes and half-remembered landmarks. Plus, sometimes the game just throws you forward a bunch of boards at once, making it impossible to count accurately.
The Spreadsheet Savior: I knew I needed a better system. So, I fired up a spreadsheet (because who doesn’t love a good spreadsheet?). I started logging each board I landed on, noting its theme, any unique landmarks, and the number of properties. It was tedious, I’m not gonna lie.
The Community Connection: While I was doing this, I started poking around some Monopoly Go communities online – forums, Discord servers, the works. Turns out, I wasn’t the only one curious about this! A bunch of other players were also trying to figure it out. We started comparing notes and sharing screenshots. It was a total collaborative effort.
The Problem with Events: Things got even more complicated when the game started throwing in special events and limited-time boards. These would pop up for a few days, then disappear. Should I count them? Were they part of the “main” board list? It was a philosophical debate for a while there.
My Semi-Scientific Approach: I settled on counting only the boards that seemed to be part of the regular progression. Limited-time boards were cool and all, but I didn’t want to skew the numbers.
The Big Reveal (Well, Sort Of): After weeks of playing, logging, and comparing notes with other players, here’s what I’ve got: As of late 2024, it looks like there are roughly… (drumroll please)… over 200 boards in Monopoly Go! Yeah, I know, it’s a lot. And honestly, it’s probably an estimate. Scopely is constantly adding new content.
A Few Caveats:
- This is based on my own gameplay and the info I gathered from other players. It’s not an official number from Scopely.
- The number of boards might vary depending on your level and how far you’ve progressed in the game.
- Scopely could add more boards at any time, so this could be outdated pretty quickly.
So, Was It Worth It? Honestly, yeah! It was a fun little project, and it gave me a good excuse to play more Monopoly Go (not that I needed one). Plus, it’s always cool to learn more about a game you enjoy.
Anyway, that’s my story. Happy rolling!
