Monopoly is one of the most popular board games of all time, but sometimes, adults are looking for a game with a bit more spice. There are several "adult" versions of Monopoly that you and your adult friends can enjoy playing at your next party.
Monopoly Games Featuring Alcohol Themes
Adding a drinking element to a Monopoly game can definitely make it more adult. These games all feature an alcohol theme. You can increase the adult nature and fun of the game by enjoying the alcoholic beverages featured on the game boards and cards.
Brew-Oploy
Brew-Opoly is the game for beer drinkers who always wanted to run their own microbrewery. Instead of properties, the game board features lagers, ales, stouts, and pilsners of America's award-winning microbreweries. The player pieces include a bottle top, bottle opener, beer mug, and a pilsner glass. You increase your "property value" by buying brews and kegs for your microbrewery monopolies. As with all Monopoly games, the object is to have the most money at the end of the game.
- The game is for two to six players ages 21 and up.
- You can choose a traditional play, which is longer, or a one-hour gameplay version.
Wine-Opoly
If wine's your thing, Wine-Opoly could be the perfect game for your next adult party. Players start by choosing their tokens (a wine bottle, cork, wine glass, cheese, grapes, or a carafe). Players can buy wines (the traditional properties), collect grapes, and trade them for decanters. Players who are new to wine can learn while they play if they take advantage of the wine fun facts on the back of each deed card.
- Wine-Opoly is made for two to six players who are 21 or older.
- The game comes with rules for traditional play or a shorter one-hour gameplay version.
Drinkopoly
Dubbed "the blurriest game ever!" by the manufacturer, Drinkopoly features a game board with different tasks partygoers need to complete, most of which involve drinking alcohol. The game gets a five out of 4.6-star rating on Amazon and is designed for people of at least legal drinking age, as alcohol is a big part of the game. Other tasks may involve sexual and adult humor themes.
- Drinkopoly is made for two to six players who are of legal drinking age.
- In addition to traditional Monopoly gameplay, the game includes blank cards for players to make up their own tasks.
Monopoly Games Based on Mature Culture and Media
Some themed Monopoly boards are for adults only because they are based on popular cultural media or topics that are not for children.
Marvel Deadpool Monopoly
This gameboard is based on the popular and raunchy Marvel superhero Deadpool. Much like the movies, the game is definitely R-rated. The properties on the board are contracts with various mercenaries, and instead of houses, you build headquarters and D-Mansions. Fans of the movies and comic books will love this fun mashup of Monopoly and Deadpool, or, as the manufacturer says, "like peanut butter and fried trout, it's a perfect match!"
- The game is designed for two to six players.
- It's recommended for players 18 and older.
Stranger Things Monopoly
Fans of the hugely popular sci-fi series will love this Stranger Things Monopoly game. The creepy elements in the show make it best suited for adults and teens, and the gameboard takes players beyond Hawkins to explore the all-new destinations from season four. Players take turns adding cassette tapes to various locations on the board, and the game tokens include a Demogorgon, Hopper's police car, a Hawkins High School crest, Dustin's baseball cap, and a slice of Surfer Boy pizza.
- This game is designed for two to six players.
- It's recommended for players 14 and older.
IT Monopoly
Here's a version of Monopoly that all serious horror fans should have in their collection: IT Monopoly. Based on the 2017 film, this game involves traveling to various locations in Derry while acquiring Suburban Houses and Apartment Buildings. The sculpted tokens include a balloon, an inhaler, a bicycle, a paper boat, Eddie's cast, and Richie's glasses.
- This game is designed for two to six players.
- It's recommended for players 17 and older.
Monopoly Games With Sexual Themes
Another way to make a Monopoly game adults-only is by adding a sexual element. These types of games are designed for consenting adult couples to play together or in a group, depending on which version you choose.
Sexopoly
Sexopoly is not for the prudish, but if you're open-minded and able to find a few like-minded individuals, this one's for you. Players choose "risky" and "frisky" cards, each with different ways to lose money, clothing, and, inevitably, inhibitions.
- This game is designed for two to eight players.
- It's recommended for consenting adults only.
An Adult Upscale Monopoly
Players who enjoy traditional Monopoly but want a more luxurious version that suits adults more than children can consider the WS Game Company Monopoly Glass Edition. This game sells for about $80 and is an elegant take on the traditional board. The board is made from tempered glass and is raised up on four acrylic feet. The houses and hotel pieces are all made from translucent material, and the tokens are all zinc die-cast. This is a beautiful set that adult fans of classic Monopoly will cherish and feel proud to show off at their next cocktail party.
Monopoly for Adults
Monopoly has been a beloved classic game for decades, but it can get boring, especially for adults. Luckily, if you seek more of a challenge, want a gameboard that tackles adult topics like drinking or sex, or just want to have a more refined experience, there's a Monopoly version out there for you and your friends!
