Thank you
Board games should be played on a physical board with physical board pieces and physical friends.
I still remember playing Monopoly one time on Genesis with family members. I ended up being last person to roll out of 6 or so people. I just kept landing on already bought property that I just gave up after going around the board once or twice. My family was disappointed that I gave up but what the fuck is the point if you are set up for failure from the start. I believe they just kept rolling for my character who probably ended up bankrupt after a few more times around the board. I'd rather play a game that requires more skill like Axis and Allies.
Phew, I have to take a look at it, but I would prefer another game if you like Monopoly-style games:
Itadaki Street Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary

Unfortunately there has no Switch version or even western release been confirmed, but I really love this series since I first played it on Wii (called Fortune Street) and then played the PS2 and SNES version. In this game you can additionally trade with shares and you have some small mini games, so in my opinion it's an advanced Monopoly
I really recommend it if you like these kind of board games. It's a ton of fun. ^^

Axis & Allies (unlike Monopoly) is still great game after 35+ years...problem is, even the shortest version (Axis & Allies 1941) can take forever (let alone combined A&A 1940 Europe and A&A 1940 Pacific)...I still play it sporadically, but it doesn't hit the table that often. As for skill, yeah it requires planning and situational awareness, but dice rolls can still make or ruin your day on occasion.
Anyway, my sincere advice to all interested in modern board games (meaning last 20-30 years) who don't know where to start - check some of Youtube channels like Shut Up & Sit Down, Dice Tower (especially their Top 10 lists) or Wil Wheaton's Tabletop series and after a while you'll see what sort of games you find intreresting (and board games are really, really diverse). Even better, if you can find some Boardgame cafe or club locally, it's a great place to try games before buying them.
Just, FFS, don't play Monopoly anymore.
I had a lot of fun with multiplayer Monopoly on the Wii (I still have my copy). If this game follow the same fashion, it is probably fun.
But, I think there are better games out there for that price tag.
I´d recommend you to get Overcooked or Puyo-Puyo Tetris for the Switch, instead of Monopoly.

Overcooked is one of my favourite games from last year, especially in 4 player local coop mode or 2vs2.
Well, you can take the game wherever you want and play with other people. You also got a time limit of around 3 hours to finish the game XD
I enjoyed playing it against the CPU. I also got monopoly Zelda edition at home.
Well, I'm just going to wait and see how good the port is... maybe I'll buy it, maybe not.

If you can, try to find & play 'Board Game: Top Shop' for PS1. Kinda similar to Monopoly but super fun.
