Five boards
Your country's cities, at your country's prices.
Every board is its own set of twenty-two cities, its own currency and its own prices — not one board with the names swapped. Landing on Mumbai should feel like landing on Mumbai.

Three ways to play
One phone, six phones, or no one at all.
Pass the phone
Two to six people, one device, no accounts and nobody waiting on a server. When the turn moves to someone else the board goes behind a cover, so the last player can't act for the next one. Hand it across the table and carry on.
- Everyone picks a colour and a face before you start
- The screen is covered until the right person confirms
- Put the phone down mid-turn — the game saves itself
Play with friends
Open a room and you get a six-letter code. Anyone you send it to plays from their own phone, wherever they are, and you can top the table up with bots if the numbers are short. Still no account — only the name you pick is shared with the table.
- One code, up to six people, nothing to install
- Lose signal and you drop straight back into your seat
- If someone wanders off, the game plays their turn rather than stalling
Or beat the bots
Fill the empty seats with Easy, Medium or Hard opponents. They roll, buy, bid at auction, build, mortgage when they are short, and trade. The hard ones will hold out on a deal until it actually hurts.
- Play alone, or top a short table up to six
- Three difficulties, set per seat
- Speed them up when you would rather not wait
The whole game
The full rules, not a watered-down version.
Everything the table argues about is in here, and the rules screen in the app explains each one in a paragraph you can actually read.
Turn it down and it goes under the hammer
Anything a player declines is auctioned to everyone, opening at nothing. Bid, or fold and watch it go cheap.
Own the colour, double the rent
Collect every city in a group and the rent doubles before a single house goes down.
Houses, hotels, evenly spread
Four houses then a hotel, built evenly across the set. Rent climbs fast, and the bank can run out of houses.
Mortgage at half, buy back at ten percent more
Short of cash? Mortgage a deed or sell houses back. A mortgaged city earns nothing until you redeem it.
Doubles, fines and the third roll
Roll doubles to get out, pay the fine, or use a card. Three doubles in a turn and you are going anyway.
Deeds, cash and jail cards, both ways
Offer any mix of property, money and get-out-of-jail cards. Counter an offer without losing what was on the table.
Before you start
Settle the arguments in advance.
Every table plays this game slightly differently. Set yours on the way in, along with starting cash and whether you are playing to a round limit or to the last player standing.
Free Parking jackpot
Taxes and fines pile up; land there and take the lot
Double salary on GO
Landing exactly on GO pays twice
Even building
Houses must be spread across a set, not stacked
Auctions
Always, only when nobody can afford it, or never
Built to be played
No sign-up, no timers, nothing to buy mid-game.
Works offline
A whole game needs no connection at all. Play it on a plane, on the tube, in the back of a car.
Saves itself
Every move is written down. Close the app mid-turn and pick the game back up where it stopped.
No account
No email, no login, no profile. Open it and start. On one phone nothing you type leaves it; in an online room, only the name you pick is shared with the table.
No ads during play
Nothing interrupts a turn, and nothing you can buy will win you the game.
Before you ask
Questions people actually ask.
How many people can play Business?
Two to six. You can pass one phone around the table, or open a room and have everyone play from their own phone. If there are not enough people, bots fill the empty seats.
Does Business cost anything?
No. It is free on iPhone, iPad and Android, free to play in a browser, and there are no ads during play.
Can I play without an internet connection?
Yes, when everyone is sharing one device. Passing the phone works entirely offline and needs no account. Only rooms, where people play from their own phones, need a connection.
Which cities are on the boards?
Five boards, each with twenty-two cities and its own currency: India in rupees, the United Kingdom in pounds, and the United States, Canada and Australia in their own dollars. They are not one board with the names swapped — the prices differ too.
Can I try it without installing anything?
Yes. The whole game runs in a browser at opensoftlabs.org/business-game/play, with no download and no account.
How does passing one phone around work?
When the turn moves on, the board goes behind a cover until the right person confirms, so the last player cannot act for the next one. The game saves itself, so you can put the phone down mid-turn.
Five boards. Six players. One phone.
Play it in your browser right now, or get the app on the App Store and Google Play — against bots, around one phone, or in an online room with friends.
