Monopoly is one of the most successful board games in the world and is now sold in over 100 countries. The basic idea is so changeable that Monopoly is offered in countless variants and versions: from city games to fantasy board games.

Therefore, the "roads" are given to those players who enter a field for the first time. And as with the digital model, players from Monopoly: Fortnite annoy their opponents with loads of gadgets.

In order to avoid enemy fire, walls can be built - as in the template. The dice system was also used for Monopy: Fortnite modified. Two dice are thrown; one gives information about the movement, the other about actions. It's about being the last player on the board to win.
