Monopoly Go is supposed to be a chill, dice-rolling escape—a digital board game where friends trade stickers, build landmarks, and occasionally ruin each other’s day with a well-timed Shutdown. But when a recurring intruder keeps smashing landmarks, stealing cash, and treating one player’s board like their personal piggy bank, the relaxation goes out the window. As of 2026, the elephant in the room remains: Monopoly Go still does not offer a proper, official block button. Players who want to cut ties must rely on a workaround that is more “remove from friends list” than “banish to the shadow realm.”
The Not-So-Official Block Button
The closest thing to a block feature is removing the troublemaker from the friends list. It is not a true block—they can still land on the player’s board through random matchmaking—but it does stop them from using the friend list as a VIP pass to cause chaos. Here’s the play-by-play:
-
The player taps Friends.
-
They select Leaderboard.
-
They find the person who needs a one-way ticket to nowhere.
-
They tap that player’s name.
-
They choose Remove.
Poof. The player vanishes from the list, and the game’s social door slams shut—at least from that side. The absence of a dedicated blocking or reporting system in the social menu means that denying a friend request or removing someone is the main way to cut ties. It’s a bit like using a flyswatter when one really wants a bug zapper. It works, but it lacks drama.
Developers have not provided comments on a potential blocking feature. Given that a chunk of gameplay involves attacking random players, adding a block option may seem impractical. After all, Monopoly Go is a game about friendly-ish sabotage; blocking everyone who rolls a double would leave a player with a very lonely board. Still, that logic does not make it less annoying when the same name keeps popping up like a bad penny.
Strategies to Dodge Unwanted Interactions
While the game lacks a direct block, players can employ a few clever tricks to avoid drama. Here are the best moves:
-
Share invite links privately. Some players lurk on social platforms and pounce on random invitation links. Keeping those links on a need-to-know basis is like hiding the cookie jar from a toddler.
-
Seek revenge on attackers. After landing on a Railroad, the player can select “Change Opponent” under the Shutdown menu. This reveals a list of recent intruders. Choosing one is the digital equivalent of saying, “Remember me?” It does not block them, but it does balance the books.
-
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Facebook account. The player taps the hamburger menu, selects Connect Account, and taps Disconnect next to the Facebook icon. This method is risky without alternative linked accounts. Only proceed if other data backup methods are enabled. Otherwise, they might lose progress and get the short end of the stick.
-
Report players who cross the line. If someone violates guidelines, communication practices, or terms of service, reporting them to Customer Services can lead to potential banning or removal. The steps are straightforward: tap the hamburger menu in the top-right corner, select Settings, choose Customer Services, tap the chat bubble in the top-right corner, and provide detailed information. The customer service team can then address the concern. It is not instant karma, but it is something.
Quick Reference Table
| Goal | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Remove a player from social circle | Friends > Leaderboard > tap name > Remove | They disappear from friends list; not a true block |
| Get back at an attacker | Railroad > Change Opponent | Target recent intruder |
| Protect invite link | Share only in private chats | Fewer random attackers |
| Report rule-breaker | Hamburger > Settings > Customer Services > chat bubble | Potential ban or removal |
| Disconnect Facebook | Hamburger > Connect Account > Disconnect | Risky; only with backup |
The Bottom Line in 2026
Monopoly Go still lacks an official block button as of 2026. The game is available now for mobile devices, and its community remains a mix of sticker traders, landmark builders, and players who treat Shutdown like a full-contact sport. The lack of a block feature means players must either deny friend requests or remove people from their list to cut ties. It is not ideal, but it is the hand they are dealt.
Until developers introduce a proper blocking system—or at least a “do not disturb” sign for the board—players should keep their friends list tidy, share invite links wisely, and use the report option when someone goes from playful rival to genuine nuisance. After all, Monopoly Go is meant to be a game, not a grudge-holding simulator. So roll the dice, protect the bag, and maybe keep a tiny blacklist in one’s head. No dice on official blocking, but with a little strategy, the annoying intruder can be downgraded from “menace” to “mild inconvenience.” 🎲🚫😅
