Oranges are the best monopoly in the game they are landed on often have high rent and not to expensive to build on greens are the worst and not even worth trading for they are expensive to build on and are not that much more expensive than the yellows and they are not landed on often the railroads are barely worth trading for and are only good paired with other monopolies the dark blues are highly over ranked and you can swindle some people with them that is my property advice-trading the oranges are every thing trade away your whole monopoly if you have to to get the oranges make sure to have some leverage and it is a good idea to trade for leverage for instance you need that last orange but johny has it but johny wants the last yellow but Dug has the last yellow trade for that yellow so you can get the oranges and that’s what I haft to say about trading-building if you have the money always get three houses right of the bat because the difference in price between 2 houses and 3 house is huge another thing is house hoarding this take two monopolies to be affective basically instead of going to hotels you stay at four house on each property this is a total of 24 houses which leaves only 8 houses two build with with means no hotels for anybody unless they already have them and by the way monopoly is way better when you play by rules and I know the chances of someone reading this whole thing is slim but I don’t care

if chance card that sends youu to breadwalk has not been drawn for a time, try slowly building houses there, once it is drawn immediately sell those houses and if u want to do what i do, i mortage them too, and possibly sell to other players.

why am i actually making notes

Doing some ROI math you can conclude following additional strategy points: - never buy stations, they have the least rio, worse than the first property (the only reason to do so is to trade and get a color set OR to block another player from the full set) - focus on buying the 2nd color of properties per lane - build hotels in the first half of the board - build 3 houses max on the second half of the board (more properties = more chances of cashing in) - If you can buy a house at 50% at the auction, do so, as it's a zero sum, the mortage is always 50% - When accumulating money, focus on getting 3 houses in one color first, because it gives a huge jump in income (this rule applies to all properties). Once you have 3 houses on 1 color, focus on the next color for 3 houses. If you don't have another color, go upgrade to hotel if it's the first half of the board, else focus on trading to get that new color. - the first house REALLY sucks compared to the rest of the board

I won all the games that my sister,dad and I played.Tip always buy the dark blue spaces even if they are expensive,do not be afraid to buy properties because of how much money you need to save just buy buy buy because at the end of the day you can still sell them and if you haven't sold then then someone will still pay for landing at your space.Trust me you will have millions of bucks if you do that.Another thing is if you land in a place that you need to pay for try to not sell your property but instead sell the homes in it so that no one can steal your place when you sell it,like I said dont be afraid to buy buy buy.Thirdly if you dont have money dont be afraid to sell sell selll🤣 even if its painful but remember to sell the houses not the actual property and you will get back on your feet if you do that (if you dont you will surely be bankrupt and lose).If all properties are finished make sure to make someone sell their property to pay you then you should immediately buy his/her property as soon as you land on it to give you more chance of getting the other person to be bankrupt and you getting more money!!!!!Hahahahaha and that is how you win in my opinion I haven't watched this video so if it they use similar tactics it's a coincidence. One other thing if it's a family member or friend dont be afraid to take their money even if they cry.!!!!NO DISCOUNTS!!!.That's what happens to most people then they lose then they bring up the discounts that they gave you then there is a fight then they call you a sore loser.

Defiantly saving this video to rewatch for next time I play

I have an extra tip about when to save cash: Maybe from mid game to late game. Let's imagine you recently completed a color group. You have the capacity for starting to immediately build some houses. Don't use your money yet to buy the houses if all your opponents are still pretty far from your color group. Retain your money until your opponents are approaching your color group ( from 10 to 6 squares away ). If one of those opponents has the next turn, tell him to wait before throwing the dice ( As you said in your video, you can build houses even if it's not during your turn ). Buy the houses and then let him know when you're done. It is likely he will land there because 7 is the most likely number followed by 6 and 8. Another case when to save money is when you already bought some houses and there is also at least one opponent who has a complete color group with some houses. You have money to buy more houses but you are approaching his color group. Don't rush. First try to bypass all his properties of the complete color group he has. If you are from 6 to 10 squares away, it is highly risky to spend your money specially if you wouldn't be able to pay the rent without having to sell your houses to the bank. Hold the cash you have in order to protect your houses in case you get an unlucky roll. In case you get to bypass his color group after rolling the dice, then you can spend money to add more houses in your color group and specially if there is at least one opponent approaching your color group. The idea ( from the moment you have houses in your color group ) is to try to gradually create a cash buffer in order to protect your houses so that you never have to sell your houses to the bank for paying a rent.

Thanks for this informative and humorous video ⭐️

Ive always felt like light blues are the building blocks for the bigger ones like a 600 payout on Pentonville can help you build on the yellows and reds same goes for Pinks or Oranges I still feel like oranges are the best set to get in the game but if you have one of the bigger ones such as the green or a dark blue those are the ones that can kill a game instantly. So my advice would be hundred percent try and get the oranges but always try and get one of the yellows reds or even dark green if you have to as a back up because but orange is pink and the light blues are the building blocks for you to pay for the other colour sets.

Thank u very much

Regarding Chance and Community Chest is it more customary to shuffle at the beginning of the game, and then take from the top, put on the bottom, or to shuffle thoroughly each time someone takes a card? Obviously if you don't shuffle you can get a sense for what has come up and what is likely to come up soon, and if shuffled that possibility is removed, which I'd argue probably makes for a "more even" game.

Good tips....Especially the probability if rolling a 6 and 7...I will definitely keep that in mind....,

With 2 players it is best to own light blue and orange, 3 players then orange and red and 4 players green is the best. Also only build 3 houses max on any site thus restricting purchase of houses by opponents. See Hannah Fry on Numberphile who has written a book on the subject.

Paying the 10% of value is sometimes more than $200. It’s hardly less than $200, unless you’re losing. Mortgaging a boardwalk property in order to keep a third house on a monopoly is a much better option than taking the house off. That boardwalk rent is worth only $50, while that house is worth $300+. Mortgaging non-monopoly properties is almost always better than getting rid of houses on your monopoly. The houses have a much better rent and return. But of course, there are always situations that call for flexibility in our strategy

@koreycunningham9431

Жыл бұрын

@Caleb N. maybe you misunderstood, I’m talking about mortgaging the other properties, without houses. It is cheaper to mortgage a property than to sell houses on your monopoly. The author said to sell houses. Yet if you have other properties, you can save your houses and mortgage those properties. The 10% fee is part of paying your mortgage off, correct. What I’m stating is that if you have a monopoly with houses on it, it’s better to mortgage your boardwalk property and keep your houses on monopoly. You have higher chances of making better money from your monopoly than just Boardwalk alone..

I have two issues with this. One is buying rail roads. Even though they may be cheap, 400 isn't that much in the late game My second issue is about morgaging. You should all morgage the properties that you only own to stop the oppenent from developing, as the income most likely come back to be equal.

I buy only the dark blue and pink ones and max them. The opponent will eventually step on pink, or even better blue and gain more than the money you spent.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!

I like to buy out the railroads and utilities. Then I'll try and buy as many properties as I can buy either landing on them or bribing others to get them. If I don't have enough money I will mortgage other properties. It means I will have less money and have to pay to unmortgage them, but I view it as a necessary risk to take. If I had to make an estimate, it has worked for me about 75-80% of the time. Basically Properties > Money in Early game

Board Game Sanctuary, you're playing the UK standard edition board but you show us the 'advance to nearest station' and 'advance to nearest utility' chance cards. So, the Chance and Community Chest cards in UK edition are now identical with the US edition?

The staying in Jail and income tax tactics are very smart.

My basic strategy is get a full deck of red, orange and light blue. By this point it'll usually just be me and another two players left. Then I focus my attention on the more expensive properties, specifically green and dark blue. Finally, I watch my oppenent shrivel up in their crippling defeat.

I can agree with this I played against my sis and brother and at first I had like no properties except for 2 railroads and a yellow I think and I decided to buy the properties between free parking and jail since no one had them but I eventually won with a bit of luck since we had the free parking money thing and we played with speed die

Alright, so me, my little brother, my sister and her friend all played Monopoly, but it's the Pittsburgh In A Box game. It's my favorite board game of all time. I have the 3 properties just before Jail, I have the 3 properties right after Go to Jail, and I have all four streets (Blvd of the Allies, Grant Street, Ohio River Blvd, and Forbes and Fifth). At first I thought I was gonna crush everyone, and to a certain degree I still believe that, but at the same time, my sister's friend has the 3 properties right after jail, my brother has the 3 properties just before Fort Pitt Tunnel (free parking) and the 3 properties just before Go to Jail. So technically, they have the good properties, not gonna lie. The odds are a little bit stacked against me. And yes I made a bad trade. My sister's friend had 1 yellow and I had the other 2, and I had the 2 oranges and she had the other 1. (The oranges are just before Jail and the yellows are right after Jail). She wanted my 2 yellows for her 1 orange and I kept refusing. I tried to trade her my 2 oranges for her 1 yellow to which she refused. So in order for me to start building and making money, I decided I'd do the trade she wanted and I'll try to use the streets and my other 2 monopolie to bankrupt her. We haven't finish yet. My sister is almost bankrupt. And my brother is going average. He's not doing bad, he's got 2 monopolies, but with him, when he doesn't have a whole lot of cash to show off, he gets pissy and frustrated because he can't say for sure that he's winning. Anyone want to offer any advice as to how I can win with the situation I'm in?

Thanks! 😀👍

Lmao my family plays in 5 mins and I can hear my brother watching the same video lol

I'm just feeling weird after hearing names like Trafalgar Square after I heard awesome names like Boardwalk and B and O Railroad. Also, King's Cross Station doesn't feel weird 'cause I heard it before in Harry Potter.

I won a game starting the first ten turns with only one utility by obtaining the light blues and browns and building 4 houses on each.

You need to understand that everything you do at a monopoly board, conveys information. You can't be all loosy goosy, eating a sandwich or checking your phone.

I’ve been wondering about this, so let’s say that I’m doing really well in monopoly and I see my friend struggling with barley any money. Could I give them money in exchange for one of their properties? Because then that way they might accept the offer since they are low on cash. But I dont know if that’s cheating or not because you are not supposed to give players money

Yes you can, gifting is illegal. What you are describing is a trade

That is allowed. I'd encourage it bc it would take property away from them, taking a toll on their potential rent collections.

Trade is actually the most important part of the game, almost no interest without it.

No, I don't because I remember it correctly while others seem to conflate that humanoid peanut with the Monopoly man.

My strategy is to get the Light blues and Yellows. The reason is because the lights blues are cheap to get hotels so they help get you a bunch of profit already. I pick the yellows over reds and greens because yellows are the same price as reds for hotels and houses but get more money. Greens are expensive and not much money for houses and hotels. I also try getting railroads sometimes and I usually win with that. Hope it helps

Im in a game rn with full sets of Yellow and white properties and I have both water works and electrical. Plus 1000 dollars, how should I play things from here??

Orange and Light Blue are your only focus. Pick up Utilities and the two railroads on the left. Everything else should be traded, including full sets. Let the other players waste their money. Use the Auction to drain others money or scoop up properties for cheap. Also in-direct trading is key to not letting people on to what your doing. (I also like to mortgage my properties and try and trade them that way, timing is key)

I wiped out all players by owning dark blue set with hotels today. I ended up taking 2 players sets after they added houses because they couldn't afford to pay me and then I owned all except for 2 sets. I negotiated well and because of capital attained through early investments, I was able to add houses providing me with a strong and steady stream of income which was slowly reinvested into properties. I also made sure I bought one property of each colour and gradually negotiated my way to having 3 sets (1 was brown, 1 light blue and 1 set being dark blue). I had leverage and sold the idea of short term and long term gains to other players. One example of this is saying I don't have enough capital to invest into my dark blue set so it's of no real danger right now, whereas, I can offer 300 for your dark blue card so I have a set and you have more cash to invest in the set you already have. It buys time for you, you have 3 properties within a set which is better odds than my 2 spaces and you can add houses right now while everyone else are still bargaining. This atleast is somewhat balanced especially considering your set has only slightly less earning potential and increased odds of landing to offer safe passage around the board. It gets so tactical haha

nice! i will beat my friends now :) thx ur my heroooo xD
