Polopoly is an Iranian take on Monopoly: a property-trading board game played on the maps of Iranian cities.

Roll the dice, go around the board, buy streets, build houses and collect rent from everyone who lands on them; online with friends, or offline against bots. The game you played at the table growing up, except with names you actually know: Vanak and Pasdaran and Zafaraniyeh, Naghsh-e Jahan Square, the windcatchers of Yazd.

Online, with friends
Create a room and send the link. Anyone who opens it joins the same game, two to six players. No account needed for your first game.

Or offline, against the bots
No connection, or nobody around to play? Games against bots run entirely on your phone. No server, no waiting. An unfinished game is saved, and you pick it up later exactly where you left it.

Thirteen boards, each with its own character
Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, Tabriz, Yazd, Kish, Ahvaz, Abadan, Kerman, Qazvin, Shomal and the Grand Bazaar.

Some boards bring rules of their own: in the Grand Bazaar every property goes to auction, Isfahan adds chogan and the negin, Mashhad's endowment fund takes a share and passes it to whoever has fallen behind, and in Kerman you can choose to travel backwards. Every card on the Shiraz board carries a couplet from Hafez.

Small things that matter

• Everything is in Persian
  
• Twelve hand-drawn tokens; most people find one they like and never let go of it
  
• Trading, mortgages, and the auction rule almost everybody skips at the kitchen table
  
• Light and dark, and it opens in whichever one you left it in
  
• No account required. Make one and your XP and achievements are kept
  

In-game money is part of the game and has no real-world value.
