They have Game Night on the Switch for $25, which includes online versions of Monopoly, Risk and Trivial Pursuit. You also need an Nintendo online subscription which is $20 a year.
Risk though doesn't appear to have anyone online.
Would be curious to see how it's implemented.
You can usually find games of Monopoly online and Trivial Pursuit also seems to have some activity.

Ideally CC would develop an app version, but the owners appear more interested in just milking the site for a few more years then eventually closing it down than doing anything more sustainable than that.

I don't even see ads here so where do they get income from?
I didn't pay for any kind of premium account so I'm limited to 4 games at a time.
However, in the past year, I've seen the activity really die down. When I used to do a Game Finder search for the types of games I wanted, it would usually return about 100 games, even 110.
Now, it's around 40-50, so interest may be waning.
Either that or maybe the criteria under which I searched have become less popular, like the number of players, the fortify rules, etc.

The income comes from players like me. Who make it possible for freeloaders like yourself to play here.
No thank you is necessary as I believe in a redistribution of wealth.
