Monopoly Tactics - How To Win?

Other

Hey, so every year my family like to play Monopoly at Christmas. It's a tradition.

What's your strategy that you do to win?

What are your favourite colours?

Mine is to buy everything I can and try and get the Oranges if I can!

  • Buy everything you land on
  • Trade to get the oranges (statistically the best property in the game - yes, I am that sad 🤓)
  • Build hotels
  • ...
  • Profit!

My brother and I play very similarly and now nobody wants to play with us over Christmas 😄

1. Cheat, and strike (bad) deals early with the unwary.

2. Fight to get Vine Street, Marlborough Street, Bow Street (the oranges) if you can for the best property yield. The oranges also get landed on more frequently than most properties because of players’ frequent visits to jail from the Chance and Community Chest cards, the Go to Jail square, and the three doubles rules. And next to jail thanks to the advance to Pall Mall card.

3. Always buy the Stations for easy regular income, and don’t trade them too cheaply

4. Once you have a set, mortgage all your other non-set properties immediately (except the stations) and spend the money on putting houses on your set.

5. Don’t rush to buy hotels, in general a better bet is to buy three houses where you get a better return on investment

6. Buy Trafalgar Square - it’s the most landed on Property on the board, and don’t bother with Mayfair and Park Lane, no-one ever lands on Park Lane except the buyer!

7. Stay in Jail as long as possible at the end of the game and collect rent whilst not paying it yourself

Buy up the stock of a certain item that's deemed profitable and then flip it. That said, you can pretty much be assured anything Nintendo will be lucrative for the first few weeks until Nintendo restocks.

The Mini NES was available everywhere for £49.99 (RRP) and now scalpers are charging £100-150 or even more for it. I was lucky with the amiibo shortage, I kept them for a while and then once I was bored I sold it at CeX, had I waited any longer the resale value would have dropped considerably.

I do wish I had sold my GameCube Adapter for WiiU when people were buying it for £80. I didn't. Oh well.
