Overview

Description

Just like in classic Monopoly, users exchange money and claim properties in the fight to be the last man who’s not bankrupt. Each property on the default board is a location at Cornell with a corresponding color type, price, and rent.

Features

• All features of classic Monopoly are supported.
• Users can design a board themselves and import it into the game in JSON format
• Users can track the state of the game using our interactive GUI. They can move their player markers and add buildings to properties
