One paragraph
Pixopoly is a pixel-art property trading board game for 2 to 6 players. Roll, buy, build and bankrupt your friends online, on your network or on one PC, with ability cards, chaos events and 2 v 2 teams on top of the rules everyone already knows.
The long version
Pixopoly takes the property trading board game everyone knows and rebuilds it as a fast, readable pixel-art game. The core is familiar: roll the dice, buy what you land on, complete colour sets, build houses and hotels, and collect rent until everyone else is broke. Properties you pass on go to auction, and anything can be traded.
On top of that sits a sheet of house rules. Ability cards let you roll again, block a rent payment, halve a rival's income or take a house off their property. Chaos Mode draws a table-wide event every round, from market crashes to earthquakes. Four players can split into two teams that share colour sets and bail each other out.
The table itself changes as you play: a town fills in around the board, a skyline rises as day turns to night, or a space station is assembled module by module. Pawns, dice, table cloths and titles unlock through play, levels and 54 achievements. There is no shop.
