Your board.A whole new game.

Equity Empires is a companion for a physical, route-based property game. Bring your board, dice, pieces, cards, and play money. The app adds a shared market of 22 properties, with tradable shares, changing prices, rent, and dividends. It does not move pieces, roll dice, draw cards, or track physical cash.

Equity Empires is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. The Apple version is designed for iPhone in portrait and iPad in landscape; Android is in development. Download links will be available here when the app launches.

A normal session has 2–6 players sharing one device. Choose a player to be the market steward and enter the table’s financial events. Everyone can follow the same market; separate phones or accounts are not needed.

Yes. The guided tutorial walks through setup, shares, rent, lap payouts, and options with sample session data. It does not change your saved sessions. You can leave the tutorial at any time and replay it from How it works.

Several players can own shares in the same property, and unclaimed shares stay in the reserve. The player with the largest stake controls it. Another player must hold strictly more shares to take control; a tie leaves the current controller in place. Shareholders can earn rent even when they do not control the property.

Use Buy from reserve, Sell to reserve, or Buy from player. A property’s first purchase grants five shares at its first-purchase cost; later trades use the current share price. Each trade previews its cost or proceeds, resulting holdings, and price effects before you confirm it.

Settle rent calculates the payment after considering the active player’s own shares, then distributes rent among shareholders as dividends. Complete a lap pays that player’s accumulated dividends plus the configured lap bonus, clears their dividend balance, and applies the market’s lap price adjustment. Exchange any physical money at the table separately.

One player must control every property in a district before offices can be built, and development must stay even across that district. If district control is broken later, its existing offices are automatically liquidated and the app shows the reserve refund due.

Open History beside the portfolio ranking to review confirmed actions. Undo restores the app state from before the most recent action when an undo is available. It cannot reverse money already exchanged at the table, so make that correction separately. You can also cancel a transaction preview before confirming it.

Yes. Name the 22 properties to match your physical board and save a reusable property template. House Rules can change price swings, action-based price changes, share supply, ownership discounts, and office refunds. Changes to House Rules apply to the next session; an active session keeps the rules it started with.

Open Options, choose Save session, select one of six local slots, give it a name, and save. To return, choose a saved session and tap Resume session. Save your current progress before opening another session. Replacing an occupied slot overwrites its previous save.

No. Saved sessions and customizations stay on the device where they were created; there is no cloud sync or account-based recovery. Do not rely on reinstalling the app or changing devices to restore them. Keep the app and its local data intact if you want to return to a saved session.

No account is required, there are no ads, and gameplay works offline. Usage analytics and crash diagnostics can use an internet connection separately from gameplay. Playing offline does not change your analytics preference.

Saved sessions, player names, property text, marker images, balances, and individual transaction details stay on your device. On iOS, usage analytics is on by default: Mixpanel receives usage, screen and tap events, an installation identifier, device information, and approximate location. Turn off Anonymous analytics in Options to stop future collection and clear queued analytics. If the app reports an error or unconfirmed status, use Retry to confirm the change. This does not recall already-sent events or disable separate Sentry crash and error diagnostics.

Those permissions are optional and let you make a custom player marker from a photo. Image processing, including background removal and styling, happens on your device. You can use the built-in markers without granting camera or photo-library access.

Email hello@knowncs.com with your device model, operating-system version, app version, what you were doing, and the exact error shown. If you include a screenshot, hide any player names or other details you do not want to share. For a save or storage problem, keep the app installed and preserve its local data while you contact us.
