In the advanced video you should mention the house supply of 32 houses. If you manage to get both the browns and light blues, your objective would be to build four houses on each. That would leave only 12 houses left for all the other opponents combined. Unless you get someone really lucky, chances are you'll slowly bleed everyone dry with rents in the $300 to $400 range. I would never pass up buying the browns. The $60 property cost is nothing and they are very cheap to develop. They are a great cash cow, especially if you own another group.

I remember playing a game with my cousins where I owned like all of orange, red, yellow, and green or something like that. I made so much money that almost all of the 500 bills were in my possession. mostly because I constantly had to swap out my 100s to keep the bank full for everyone's go money and stuff. One of them owned both blue properties with hotels, and I felt absolutely nothing when I landed on boardwalk. It was the most solid game of monopoly I ever played

Thank you, family game nights have been so much more fun now. I usually always won Monopoly anyway until my entire family started all teaming up to try to take me down early. Now, they make deals with me that they are sure are going to be my downfall and then are all taken back when I still emerge victorious! Good stuff!

That was great! Forget Monopoly, these two videos have principles that apply to a ton of games. This is a very different way of playing board games from what I typically engage in when I play. I'm going to apply these principles when I want to win - maybe with sufficient practice these can be employed with very little mental overhead, but I would likely find them exhausting the first few times and they would preclude me from freely having fun - though who cares about fun if you just want to win?!?

Risk isn't hard to figure out. Some of it is luck, but mostly knowing when to defend and when to blitz someone and knock them out, taking their cards. Australia and south/north America is king. Then it's just keeping a finger in the other continents so they can't draw cards. The Game Night risk on Switch is actually a very good rendition. Far better than the Monopoly one imo.

winning at guess who is easy though- make the most broad guesses. that way about half of the board gets knocked down every time

I have a brown street strategy that worked most times. I rush to get both brown places, since they're pretty cheap and most other players don't want them. From then on it costs 50 to build a house and 200 to build a hotel- so 800 for two hotels right in the beginning of the game. It makes it up after two times of someone landing on it and if you manage to do it fast enough, it can win the game in record time, since other players need to pay you 400 or 450 right at the beginning. Even if not, it gives a very nice head start for the rest of the game- it's low risk high reward

An important tip is to buy at least one of every color. This gives you the option to trade with others. Also remember houses are limited in the game. It's an option to not build a hotel and only 4 houses, to keep the others from making money. This is especially important when you play with house rules that give more money or extend the game. With no auctions, the game takes longer, because some streets take longer to get and prevents players to get a cheap deal. With more money, players can afford high rents and the goal is stall others. With the official rules, the game is actually short, so maybe insist on playing by the book and maybe make the game more fun, because bankruptcy doesn't take so long. It makes no fun when for 2 hours one player is slowly draining your money and due to more money, it takes longer and you have the feeling of maybe turning the game into your favor.

@bobapjok4241

There is a lot here i dont think normal people realize. you should basically never buy hotels unless you cannot control the amount of houses there. preventing others from buying houses is a HUGE advantage accomplished by just building the 4 and not allowing others to build. also, you are so right about the rules. The game does not take that long as is commonly thought. It only takes so long when house rules are added (especially extra money for landing on free parking)

Risk is a game that may deserve your attention for a future video. One strategy I've seen used by a power player is to trade a final card of some color to someone who has nothing else, in order to stymie another power player. So, using the example of trading away the last orange card, one might trade that to the player who is struggling, knowing that player will put houses on it, right before the other powerhouse player has to navigate past it.

​​@@whatswhat2022 I'm late but in considering tactics on *Risk*, there are things that I would like to point out mentioned or to be questioned in the future strategy guide in debunking these pointers. ~ 1. Everyone knows the "turtle Australia" and "SA stronghold" techniques, so I wonder in a long game if these areas can be pigeon hold since everyone is racing for these territories? ~ 2. (mythbusting) Best to control Asia territory if only have the iron grip in Europe territory. In personal experience and game set, Europe has 5 troups bonus and its in the better part (by logistics) of the board if bother to get Asia (despite being placed in the dangerous part of the board by looks). ~3. NA is actually also a good territory to hold first other than SA (4 troups bonus and 3 fronts, sweet deal!). Africa territory is vulnerable in a short game but a good stronghold in pair with SA territory in a long game. I'm not too sure if they're clarify well but hopefully answered. And also I've only played in random on online but rarely on docking territories traditionally.

Would love to see Rummikub, Five Crown, or Scopa for potential strategies. I have a good skillset for each game, but it’s been a while since I’ve played them, so it’d be nice to see them looked at.

The problem with the housing thing is that when the people who you play with also know this, which they do in my case, then they never let go of a property, e.g if you want or buy an orange and you already have one then, my family will only sell it for over 500, and more like 1000 if you have 2, which means it is Extremely hard to get a set and most people only give someone a cards needed to get a set if you give the Same to them, so you never get a lead in development

Yeah... these videos work under the assumption that the opponent doesn't understand the game. In real games people will try to prevent others from gaining monopolies and gaining one becomes highly dependant on luck. Luck in general plays a big role in this game, it isn't chess or anything where the most skilled player always wins, so it's very questionable to claim this is "how to always win at Monopoly" Also, in his example of a "strategic play" (where he gave the dog the orange card), he had something like 1500 worth of property, while his opponents had around 500 and 1000 in property and cash. His play was only possible because he already had a massive advantage. Surely anyone can win when he has more stuff than his opponents combined, I don't understand the point

THIS. It's nowhere in your videos, but what you want and NEED to win is to MONOPOLIZE the housing supply! That's why I will always go for Orange (because, duh, they're the best properties to win with), Pink (again, because it's in the most-landed strip after Jail and not so expensive to buy houses on), Light Blue _AND_ Brown, because they can be had for cheap and the cost to soak up the remaining houses is very low. Eight houses on the brown properties will set you back just $400, the cost of just two houses on the Dark Blues. If you allow someone to build to hotels, and then you soak up ALL the houses (aka, don't go to hotels, just four houses on the monopolies), when they have to sell any of the houses, they'll be down to no homes at all, making it very difficult for your opponents to get serious cash out of you or your opponents. Make sure you have space and money to buy houses the instant your opponents have to sell them to make rent. Absolutely ensure you buy up the houses as quickly as you can and there's no way you'll lose...Unless of course you get hit for the Property Improvement cards where you have to pay per house on your properties. If that gets picked up by another player who has no houses, thank your stars you didn't get it.

Very informative video thank you I learnt a few new things

I'm suprised you didn't mention getting a monopoly on housing. With only 32 houses, it only takes 8 properties with 4 houses each to completely lock the game and prevent anyone from upgrading their properties. This greatly increases the value of Brown and Blue, as if you can make "bad" trades to get them, you can build lots of houses and limit the supply. This allows only one other color set to be completed. Even if you don't have those sets... building cheap houses (and ignoring hotels) is a good way to limit the supply of houses, and players will be forced to only build a few houses each.

I like the editing 😊

Good advice. I have been playing an online monopoly-like game against the AI for a few months and I had uncovered several of these strategies. A course in statistics and probability almost 20 years ago helped. But I hadn't quite fleshed it all out yet and I certainly didn't see some of these strategies. One oddity I have seen in a lot of these games is how one AI would get all four railroads and nothing else and somehow managed to obtain and retain the highest cash balance right up to the end of the game. It was both mysterious and frustrating since beating them became a matter of slowly but inexorably wearing them down. After watching this video, it finally clicked for me. I like to play with max players (8 in this case). That's a heck of a lot of money supply and every player is one roll away from one of the railroads. Now I see how that builds up a monstrous bank account for that player. It's a losing strategy in the end game if the ai doesn't get any other properties, but it does insulate them from the shocks of landing on a hotel so it's at least a great strategy for surviving into the late game. Fun stuff! Thanks for the video

There’s only a limited amount of houses in the game. Once all the houses are taken by the players. There are no more houses to build on which means players don’t get the chance to raise their rent. (This strategy usually works when there’s more than 2 players in the game.)

When I play usually we just use coins or other small things as house or hotel supplements, never thought about playing with a limit

@@snowy5419 - cording to the official rules. Once the game is out of houses and hotels, you can’t buy anymore. So it is best strategy to try to put four houses on your property so other people can’t buy more once the 32 house limit is reached.

I love this strategy of buying all houses and blocking others. I buy browns and light blues, so I can buy houses cheaply.

Eehhh, not really for me Even playing it fast, it won't take less than 50 minutes to a match to end, and not to mention its "american trash" core element: the players who are eliminated have to wait whatever time it takes till the game is over. Basically, forcing this person into "idle mode", where they must wait for the entire board to be finish so they can move into doing something else This kinda game like Monopoly, War and several others always sounds fun on paper, but at the end everyone is tired of playing board games for the entire day

This is a amazing video! Great work!

You should’ve had something about causing a housing shortage here. That’s how you put potentially strong competitors out of their misery. The Browns are amazing for holding houses and causing a shortage if you have another color set. There are 32 houses in the game. If you’re playing with 4 players, have 4 houses on the oranges and 4 on the browns, you are taking up 62% of the game’s houses. The other 38% have to be split up between the 3 people

And then, if you reach a point that you need those houses on a different property, just upgrade the Browns to Hotels and, simultaneously, buy back the returned houses so no one else can snatch them up. It tacks the cost of a Brown Hotel onto the cost of whatever houses you're buying, but it makes it a "safe" purchase.

That's a really good point, and I had it on my initial script. But when the script went over 12 minutes I cut it since when you are playing without house rules and hit most of these points it's hard to actually build that many houses. My philosophy is to finish the game before that much gets developed and run the game out of contention by the money supply, plus more people want to play when the game takes like an hour and a half and not like 5 hours. But it's definitely a good angle to look at

As a kid i always won when playing with real rules, like 10% and selling fees. But when playing with house rules, like every other kid does, free parking, no fees for selling homes, etc... i always lost.... I think i actually nailed everything right as a kid. Although i did put more weight onto dark blues IF i had the cash and would gladly give up oranges for the blues.

Every time I play with basic rules, the game always ends up in a stalemate, because no one is willing to do any trades before all the properties have been bought and after they will not let you get a monopoly no matter what, so trading becomes useless.

@@PropiaPersona XD I would not let anyone have a monopoly if I had a monopoly already, and there were no other threat on the board. Picture this, I had all the railroads, and there were no other monopolies up. I would slowly bleed the competition out. Same goes for the browns, or any other monopoly. Do not give an inch when ahead is a very viable gameplan, unless you can get even further ahead with lesser risks than what you gain. 🙂 I have seen a lot of YT videos in a competative monopoly setting.(swiftor) and I often see players taking high risk trades when they are ahead, and are holding leverage, giving it away. And thus creating unnecessary risks on the board for themselves.

Thanks that you continued guide... That was really helpful

Any advanced strategy video on Monopoly should talk about housing shortages and the hotel trap. I often trade for the 'bad' color groups, if it will allow me to create a housing shortage. If I can get the Light Blue and Maroon properties with 4 houses each, all the other players have to share 10 houses between them. And you do NOT want to have to sell hotels when there is a housing shortage! (You must sell the hotels in their entirety.) Warm regards, Rick.

Housing shortage simply means that one did not get enough playing models. That is an exploit, not a real feature.
