“Monopoly” is about to get a lot more realistic.

Netflix announced it is now casting for the new competition series based on the world of “Monopoly,” where contestants have the chance to win $2 million.

Competing on a life-sized Monopoly Town Square, 12 players will use strategy, alliance and dealmaking to take home the prize. With opportunities to earn money, buy properties and negotiate deals, the contestants must work to stay afloat as the bankrupt players get eliminated, with only one player left standing.
