The purpose of this app is obviously to facilitate the more social aspects of Monopoly Go! such as Sticker trades, or helping you work together to overcome community challenges. You'll even be able to get your point across with a suite of unlockable Monopoly Go! emojis to accompany your chats.
Don't make a fool out of me
This isn't the first time we've seen an app like this, not by a long shot. I'm sure most of you are aware of Campfire, a similar social app for Pokémon Go. But I also think that the appeal of this sort of app is a bit niche, given that most people probably communicate by Discord or other platforms already.
However, I do think there's a legitimate case to be made for older players (or those that simply don't want to engage with the aforementioned platforms) looking for a curated space to communicate with other players. So, more power to 'em, I say.
In the meantime, if you want to see what's coming up on mobile, but don't have the time to check through all the App Stores, why not dig into our regular feature Ahead of the Game, where this week Catherine looks at the upcoming Idle Shelter?
