How a game actually plays

If you have played a property trading board game before, you already know most of this. You roll two dice, move around a loop of 28 spaces, and buy the streets and piers you land on. Land on someone else's and you pay them rent.

Owning every street of a colour group doubles the rent on all of them and unlocks houses, then a hotel. That is where the game is won: a full set with hotels is the difference between an annoying rent and a fatal one.

Short of cash, you mortgage deeds or sell buildings rather than going out immediately. Roll doubles and you go again — three in a row and you are sent to the dry dock, which is this board's version of jail.

How a game ends

Every game has a round limit the host sets — 20, 40, 60, or none at all. When it is reached, the highest net worth wins: cash plus deeds plus buildings. That is the single biggest difference from the board game in the cupboard, where the only ending is everyone else going bankrupt and nobody has ever actually finished a game that way.

Trading

You can offer deeds and cash to any other player at any point on your turn. Offers can be countered rather than only accepted or refused, so a trade goes back and forth like a real negotiation instead of dying on the first no.

Playing with friends

A room is private by default. The link is the invitation — anyone with it can join, and anyone without it cannot see the room at all. There is no friend list to add people to and no invite to accept.

If you would rather play with whoever is around, switch the room to public and it appears in the lobby for anyone to join.

Playing against bots, or on your own

You do not need anyone else. Turn on let bots fill in and the empty seats are taken when the game starts, so pressing Play at two in the morning still gets you a game.

The bots are not placeholders that pass every turn. They buy what they land on when they can afford it, build on colour groups they complete, mortgage when they are short, and weigh up trades you send them — a bad offer gets refused. They will not out-think a good player, but they will punish you for leaving a full set on the table.

You can also mix them in: three friends and a bot to make up a four-player game is a perfectly normal way to play, and the host can add or remove them right up until the game starts.

Rules you can change before you start

The host sets the table. Every one of these is a switch in the lobby, and everyone in the room can see the settings before the game begins.

SettingWhat it changes
Starting cashFrom 500 to 3000. Less cash makes the early game tighter and the game shorter
Game length20, 40 or 60 rounds, or no limit. When the rounds run out, the highest net worth wins
Maximum playersTwo to eight
Private or publicPrivate means only your link gets people in. Public lists the room in the lobby
TradingOff makes it a pure game of what you land on
MortgagingOff is harsher — a player short of cash sells buildings and then goes out
Even buildOff lets you stack houses on the one street everybody lands on
Shuffle seat orderOn by default, so the person who opened the room does not always move first
Let bots fill inBots take the empty seats at kick-off
Rent from the dry dockOff means an owner sitting in the dock collects nothing while they are there
Vacation potTaxes and fees collect in a pot. The draw can favour whoever is behind, so falling behind early is recoverable

Is it really free, or is there a catch?

It is free, and there is nothing to buy. No tokens, no premium boards, no battle pass, no ads between turns.

The honest catch is that it is small and new. There is no player ranking yet, no account to carry stats between sessions, and one board rather than a dozen. What you get instead is that everything present is free and nothing is held back behind a purchase.

On a phone

The board is laid out portrait on a phone rather than shrinking the desktop board down, so the squares stay big enough to read and tap. Most browser board games do the opposite and hand a phone the same wide board scaled to a third of the size.

Switching apps mid-game does not cost you your seat, either. If a notification pulls you away, your seat is held — and if you are gone long enough, a bot plays it until you come back rather than knocking you out of the game.

Questions people ask

Is this the official Monopoly game?
No. kiraya.io is an independent game in the same genre, with its own board, its own place names and several different rules. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hasbro or any other board-game brand.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in a browser tab on any modern phone, tablet or computer. There is no app and nothing to install.
Do I need an account?
No. You type a name and play. Nothing is stored about you and there is no password to forget.
Is it actually free?
Yes, and there is nothing to buy — no tokens, no premium boards, no subscription.
How many people can play?
Two to eight, in any mix of people and bots. Two players works fine; four is the sweet spot.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. The board switches to a portrait layout on phones so the squares stay readable, rather than shrinking a desktop board.
How long does a game take?
Usually 20 to 40 minutes. The host sets a round limit — 20, 40 or 60 rounds — and when it is reached the highest net worth wins, so games actually finish.
Can I play on my own?
Yes. Turn on "let bots fill in" and empty seats are taken by bots when the game starts, so you can play without waiting for anyone.
What happens if someone quits halfway through?
Their seat is taken over by a bot and the game carries on with all their cash and property intact. If they come back, they take the seat over from the bot. Nobody wins by forfeit because one person lost signal.
What if I lose connection?
Your seat is held for you. Switching apps or dropping off wifi for a moment does not take you out of the game, and reopening the tab puts you straight back in.
Can I play with friends privately?
Yes — rooms are private by default. Only people with the link can join. You can make a room public if you would rather anyone could.
Are there bots to play against?
Yes. The host can add bots to fill any number of seats, and they play a real game — buying, building, and accepting or refusing trades.
Can I change the rules?
The host can set starting cash, game length, maximum players, and switch trading, mortgaging, even building, shuffled turn order and the vacation pot on or off.
Is there an auction when someone declines to buy?
Not yet. Declining a property leaves it unowned for now.
Does it work on a school or work network?
It is an ordinary website over HTTPS, so it works anywhere a browser does — unless a network blocks games by category.
