How to play

Play Monopoly free in the browser on CastPlayTV. Host a room on the Main screen so the shared board, tokens, and property status stay visible on the TV or computer. Invite 2–8 players from their phones with the QR code or room code. On your turn, roll, move, buy properties, bid in auctions, trade with others, and build houses and hotels while everyone watches the table update live. Private decisions and confirmations happen on each phone so the big screen never gets cluttered with menus. The goal is familiar: bankrupt opponents or dominate the board through smart buying and trading. Because CastPlayTV is web-based, you do not need a console, disc, or paid party pack — just a shared display and phones as controllers. Friends in different locations can choose Player with own screen so each remote player sees the board and controls on their phone, tablet, or computer. It works well for family game nights, dorm hangouts, and groups that want a classic property game without unpacking a physical box. Sessions sync in real time over WebSockets, so every roll and trade is visible to the whole room.

What you need

For living-room play: one TV or computer for the Main screen and 2–8 smartphones. For online play: each player can use Player with own screen on a phone, tablet, or computer. A browser and network connection are enough; no download or paid account is required to host or join.

Tips for a better session

Agree on a soft end time before the first property empire forms. Use a short DoodleDash or Cast Dash opener so late arrivals practice QR join first. Keep trades audible for the whole couch facing the TV. Remote friends should use Player with own screen and a group call for negotiations — see our Monopoly game-night guide for pacing.
