Whereas the hat, car, iron, and other token pieces represent players in the normal version of Monopoly, Monopoly: Assassins Creed lets you choose between the series different protagonists. You can play as Altair, Ezio, Connor Kenway, his grandfather Edward Kenway, Aveline, or the protagonist of Assassins Creed Unity, Arno Dorian.

Other game pieces have also be changed to match the Assassins Creed theme. Money has been replaced with Abstergo credits, and the usual real estate is swapped out for historical locations featured in the Assassins Creed series, with Abstergo Industries and Abstergo Entertainment replacing the games original prime properties: Boardwalk and Park Place.
