I never realized how competitive this game was until me and my boys recently started playing it. I was the last one to go with 6 people playing so I kept landing on already purchased property until I passed go and finally landed on one yellow. Luckily at this point nobody could make houses or hotels because nobody had color sets so I was still in the game despite paying rent 5 times until I purchased a property. I passed go the second time with only one property. On the third one, I finally purchased a green but the rest of the properties were gone except blue. At this point my only strategy was over paying for a property to try to get a color set, so I targeted the green. I purchased one from someone for $700 cause they needed money. Then, at one point two people were making a deal to trade properties so each can have a color set and they would split profits 50/50 for each color set (one of the two had green and they didn't trust one another as one had screwed the other over earlier in the game). I hopped in the deal to help them build trust and get the green for basically nothing but offering that we split all profits for properties 33%. They agreed. oh and if anyone out of the 3 landed on the others properties, we wouldn't have to pay them. Stayed in the game till the end because of that one interjection. What's the best move or deal that you have used?
I read that in the World Championships, one guy kept winning by buying all the railroads first, that ppl didn't want ... and the utility companies. The strategy is to get cash centers at all sides, build up your cash faster ($200 rent when you have all 4 and best odds to get landed on), and then act as a lender for ppl trying to avoid mortgaging their property or going bankrupt...you mortgage for them for higher money but get rights to the property if they can't pay you back in time....or something like that.
Back when I used to play regularly, I was always the banker since I am quick at monopoly math. Needless to say I have never lost a game. True story.
I follow this strategy, and I know it works because my brother's and my strategy was similar even before reading the "article." This one is just more efficient. Best deal was a third orange property for Park Place and $100.
my strategy is to keep talking and annoy the other players until they eventually quit one by one. i win.
Anyone ever play Monopoly Deal. Card game version. Heard it is faster and fun https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_Deal
Been a Monopoly wizard since I was young. A prodigy maybe. I could beat anyone by age 8. Strategy is simple. Load up on cheap properties. Deal expensive sets for cheaper sets. Build hotels quicker while others go bankrupt trying to afford expensive houses.
Sounds like you also get tenants that don't complain about their living situation. All about the art of the deal my friend.
I usually buy Mediteranean Ave first build a house, then use that as my trap house and sell drugs out of it. Everybody passing go, collects 200. Its like the first of the month in real life and that welfare check comes in. My product is good and I edge out my comp by being the first stop. My next venture would be picking the car piece, turn it into a tesla, uber everybody around as a side gig(while still trapping), profit.
If mono means single, and poly means multiple... Then what the bell is mono-poly? Spoiler I always win second prize... Frickin @SwoLy-D, you'll pay some day!!! ....... ....... .......
Played with real money once. There were 4 of us. We were young and poor, so $15 as our starting bankroll and each of us put $15 into the bank. Divided everything by 100 to determine costs and payment. I had 3 RRs the first time around the board and thought I was in pretty good position. The only Monopoly was by a guy who had Baltic and Mediterranean. He won.
Step 1: Get Park Place from McDonald's. Step 2: Post on ClutchFans to find someone who has Broadway. Step 3: Split the million.
I have a deck and on holidays my brothers and I would play for money. Its alot faster than the board game
