Ok, my partner is trying to wean off of the iOS Monopoly game because she’s spent a truly inordinate amount of money on it. Is there any idle game for iPhone you can recommend that could substitute? I’m looking for something flashy and cute that can provide a similar skinner-box dopamine rush right now. Paid, microtransactions, doesn’t matter, because I swear that thing is the most merciless exploiter of FOMO and addictive personalities I’ve ever seen and pretty much anything would be an improvement.

What is an "inordinate" amount of money? Because she has the type of personality that's prone to getting sucked in to microtransactions and overspending, you'll want to steer her toward something that doesn't have any.

I've seen too many horror stories of people spending their kids' college funds or racking up tens of thousands of dollars of credit card debt on microtransaction horseshit. I hope it's not anywhere near that bad.

It’s been about $2,000 so far. Are there any idle games with competitive leaderboards? She’s at about a stopping point for the current season or whatever she has, I’m hoping to find something for her to step into here rather than picking up the next season.

what does that amount of money get you exactly

A lot of dice rolls and 8/9 of the current season’s purple stickers, from my understanding.

I want to say I got pork from an Ally quest, but I think that was just plain luck on my end.

I've been trying messing around, but I just can't seem to get past the 10th talent point no matter what I do.

If it’s earlier in the game, I would suggest fire and those jet pack gnorps.
