    The Landlord’s Gambit: Meet RENTPOLY, the Roguelike Board Game Redefining “Property Management”

    If you’ve ever played Monopoly and thought, “This is great, but I wish I could trigger a 5x multiplier on my Boardwalk hotel by drinking a soda and using a power tool,” then Sunpeak Games has a very specific, very addictive gift for you.

    Enter RENTPOLY, the newly announced indie title currently in development for a 2026 release. Coming off the success of their action-roguelike Spell Disk, the California-based team at Sunpeak Games is pivoting from wizardry to real estate—but keeping the “broken” synergies that make roguelikes so satisfying.

    The Pitch: Balatro Meets Monopoly

    The developer describes RENTPOLY as a roguelike city-builder board game. While the board might look familiar, the gameplay is anything but traditional. Instead of just hoping for a lucky roll, you are building a “money-printing machine” through layers of greedy synergies.

    As a renter-turned-dev, the creator wanted to explore the “other side” of the landlord-tenant relationship, fueled by a self-admitted Balatro addiction. The result? A game where you don’t just collect rent; you optimise it to absurd, billionaire-tier heights.

    Key Game Features

    Sunpeak Games isn’t holding back on the variety. The game is set to launch with a massive amount of “build” potential:

    • 130+ Properties: Diverse buildings to attract tenants and generate revenue.
    • 200+ Tools: These are your “relics” or “jokers”—items that create powerful, game-breaking synergies.
    • 30+ Foods & 10+ Drinks: Consumables that manipulate luck or permanently boost property values.
    • 10+ Playable Characters: Each likely bringing a unique spin to the market.
    • 5+ Unique Maps: Different cityscapes to conquer.

    Why You Should Care

    The “roguelike-ification” of classic genres is at an all-time high, but RENTPOLY stands out by tackling the board game format.

    “Every decision matters. Every build, purchase, demolition, and dice roll can completely reshape your run.” — Sunpeak Games

    Unlike the original Monopoly, which is often criticised for being decided by luck in the first twenty minutes, RENTPOLY emphasises player agency. You aren’t just at the mercy of the dice; you’re using tools and “drinks” to bend those dice to your will.

    How to Play It Right Now

    While the full release is slated for 2026, you don’t have to wait two years to see if you have what it takes to be a digital tycoon.

    As part of the recent Steam Board Game Fest, Sunpeak Games has opened up a public playtest. You can head over to the RentPoly Steam Page and request access to start building your empire today.

  • Transport Fever 3 First Look: Infrastructure Overhaul

    Transport Fever 3 First Look: Infrastructure Overhaul

    The wait is over, tycoons! Urban Games just dropped a deep dive into the infrastructure tools for Transport Fever 3, and the level of control is absolutely insane. We’re moving beyond simple grids and into a world of true engineering.

    Here’s the breakdown of what’s changing when we hit the tracks in 2026:

    • Custom Junctions & Lane Control: No more “snap-to-grid” headaches. Build intersections at any angle, design realistic highway on/off ramps, and use full lane controls to dictate exactly where your trucks and buses turn.
    • The Rise of Trams: Trams are getting a massive upgrade! We’re talking dedicated tracks, underground construction, and—the game changer—Tram-Trains that can transition seamlessly between city streets and heavy rail networks.
    • Strategic Rail Choices: Not all tracks are created equal. Choose between three distinct rail types, each with its own balance of speed, cost, and pollution.
    • Modular Everything: Stations have been completely rebuilt. Use specialist modular add-ons to increase capacity or improve passenger comfort (which now directly impacts your city’s growth!).
    • Environmental Impact: Your expansion has consequences. You’ll need to balance progress with “livability” by using noise barriers, tree-lined avenues, and smart routing to keep the citizens happy.

    Transport Fever 3 is officially coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.
