Originally played with paper money and a designated banker, Monopoly has adapted over the years as the world has changed. In the new App Banking Edition, players use a free companion app that replaces paper currency and manages all transactions through card taps and digital tracking. The gameplay remains the same, with the added convenience of a simpler and more streamlined way to handle in-game finances.
What’s New in the Monopoly App Banking Edition?
The Monopoly App Banking Edition brings a modern upgrade to the world’s most iconic board game. Designed for 2–6 players aged 8 and above, this edition replaces paper cash with a mobile banking app that handles every transaction digitally — from property purchases to rent payments. Each player uses a bank card to tap and transfer money, while the free Monopoly app acts as the central banker, tracking balances and automating play.
Featuring new cards, tokens, and interactive mini-games, the edition also introduces faster playtime and fresh digital animations that make every roll more exciting. The game includes a foldable game board, property cards with scannable codes, six player tokens, bank cards, dice, and easy-to-follow instructions — all designed to preserve the charm of classic Monopoly while embracing a digital future.
Nilay Verma, Head – India & Southeast Asia, Hasbro India, said, “For generations, Monopoly has been a shared ritual across Indian homes — a game that teaches, connects, and entertains in equal measure. At Hasbro, we believe everything starts with play; it’s where imagination takes root and connections thrive. As we celebrate 90 years of this global icon, we’re proud to reimagine Monopoly for the world of today — blending nostalgia with innovation so every new generation continues to learn, laugh, and play together. India has always cherished togetherness and creativity — and that’s exactly what Monopoly stands for.”
To extend the experience beyond the board, Hasbro is hosting an immersive in-store celebration at Hamleys, inviting families to rediscover the magic of Monopoly through live play zones and interactive challenges.
