Love board games and pure chaos? Fortune Avenue is a new spin on Monopoly out in Early Access

Out now with Native Linux support and it's Steam Deck Verified, Fortune Street is the latest game from Binogure Studio (City Game Studio, Sneak In) that puts a fresh, fast and chaotic spin on the classic Monopoly. Note: key provided by the developer.

In the game you take turns to move across a board filled with surprises and opportunities. Each player participates in random game-changing events (there's over 30 of them) that can really mess with everyone. The added randomness really makes it feel different to classic Monopoly, like Jail being replaced with an ice floe that could transform into a luxury cruise and Free Parking instead being an airport that allows strategic movement across the board.

You can play it offline against AI bots and other people and you can also play online too. You can even play the game as a team if you fancy a bit of co-op against others.

The developer mentioned the Early Access period will last for probably around 2 years, so they can really polish it up and add in new features, although it's already a complete experience to play through. In their current roadmap they plan to add in custom game modes, a board editor, more customization, Steam Workshop support and much more.

Features:

  • Dynamic Board Elements: From melting ice floes to bustling airports, every corner of the board holds a surprise.
  • Strategic Rule Voting: Every 12 dice rolls, players vote on new rules that can drastically alter the game's dynamics.
  • Speed Up Mechanism: A helicopter targets the poorest players, ensuring a fast-paced game that minimizes frustration.
  • Elimination Bonus: Gain a $100K bonus for each player you eliminate, adding a competitive edge.
  • Anti-Cheat Measures: With physics-based dice and wheel of fortune, plus advanced obfuscation and VAC, the integrity of the game is maintained.
  • Rich Multiplayer Experience: Peer-to-peer connectivity with a robust recovery mechanism ensures seamless gameplay.
  • Diverse Game Pieces and Boards: Choose from 12 unique pieces and explore 4 different themed boards.

Fortune Avenue | Release Date: 7th April 2025

I wouldn't call this a new spin, it sounds exactly like the long running game series Itadaki Street, although I believe only the Wii game had a US release as Fortune Street.

More of a love letter to that, considering the name, I think.

Also, Fortune Street is probably my all-time favorite Wii game and if anyone reading this hasn't given it a shot yet, I highly recommend doing so. It's an amazing combination of Mario and Dragon Quest characters, in... A monopoly-like game that features stocks and minigames.
