Dose anyone have some good tactics for playing Monopoly?

Question

I never win!

Answer 1

buy the properties just after the corners old kent road, pall mall, and the strand (brown, pink and red respectively) and instead of the green buy the yellows, leicester square etc.

NEVER EVER buy the oxford street etc green ones, no one ever lands on them

always works that those are most landed on, the pink especially

Answer 2

1) Buy every property you land on. If you run out of money, you can always mortgage some later, but the point is - you want your oppenent to have as little property as possible. Try to get at least one of every color property to block your oppenent.

2) If you have the opportunity to buy houses, do not mortgage off all your extra property thinking that being able to buy a whole bunch of houses will pay off in the long run. Your oppenent will most of the time skip over your built up property and then you will have no other source of income. (However, if your oppenent has a large amount of houses or a hotel, and you don't have much money, you may have to take a chance and do this)

3) If you get in jail at the beginning of the game, pay the $50 to get out right away so you can go back to buying property quickly. If there are a lot of houses/hotels on the board, stay in jail for as long as possible to delay landing on these.

4) Make sure you know how much money your oppenent has before trading. You might get a monopoly out of the trade, but not have enough money to buy houses, while your oppenent also gets a monopoly out of the trade but has a $500 bill tucked away for safekeeping.

5) Always try to get the more expensive monopoly. For example, houses for the pink property and orange property cost the same, but rent is higher for the orange property. However, this doesn't work for the green/dark blue property because your opponent has less of a chance of landing on a dark blue because there's only two of them.

6) Remember that the rent increases significantly once you reach the 3 houses mark.

Answer 3

Monopoly is a game representing real life and the cut-throat buisness world. Everyone cheats in real-life and the same should be done in Monopoly. How?
Be the banker and steal money.
Be creative with your dice rolling.
Steal money when people take toilet breaks (hiding it under the corner of the board is a good place)
TOP TIP: Buy an extra set of monopoly money from the toy-shop and keep a few notes in your pocket for when the need arises.

Answer 4

The best way to win Monopoly is to buy everything you land on, if 1 of your opponents buys for example Mayfair and you own Park Lane. DO NOT let them bully you into selling it to them no matter how much dosh they say!!!.
In this situation I would now Mortgage Park Lane (if money's tight)because you can't make a set with that now.And that's the point of the game! OK I know you can still collect £35.00 Rent for it but not many people land on it!!.
So your better off in the long run.
Another tip I'll tell you, Always buy Old Kent and White chapel, There cheep and it only cost's you £500.00 to put a hotel on both!
The best property's to buy are ones that are mentioned in the Chance and Community Chest Cards,I.E Old Kent, Marlybone Station, Trafalgar Square, Mayfair,& Pall Mall. people HAVE to move to where the cards send them- if you own them you collect the rent & house Money. More money to build your estate with.
Last tip, allways pay the £50.00 fine for jail straigt away, if your in the nick you can't collect Rent.
Good Luck I hope this helps!!

Answer 5

I think everyone has their own strategy.

Mine personally is if you are lucky enough by the cheap "brown" houses just after the GO. They are real cheap so if you can get both of them you can build hotels straight away and then make lots of money from the hotels.

Then buy one of each colour - that stops anyone else buying a full set and then being able to b uild hotels!!

Answer 6

you have to know the roll if the dice, seven comes out a lot more then anything else. Buy the properties of orange and red, people go there the most, also railroads, and put houses when people are close, so you dont waste money on it and get fined or lose money. But this game is more of chance, so these are just hints

Answer 7

Buy any property you land on except:
- electric/water works
- any set of which two different players already own properties

Try hardest to get the later set on each side - where houses cost the same but give higher returns - and those on the second side (Pall Mall/Whitehall/Northumberland and Malborough/Vine/Bow), which give good returns but you can afford to buy them and build relatively early on.

Build to three houses asap but don't bother going beyond until you're in a winning position.

Answer 8

buy all orange and red if poss.
buy 1 of each other colour to stop others getting sets.
keep buying as much as poss, then trade to get orange and red sets.
when building houses, wait until u can put hotels up, then do them all in 1 go. (hotel pays less fines than 4 houses, 1 or 2 houses arent really doing much to help you)

Answer 9

Buy one property of each colour and the utilities at the beginning and if you land in jail buy yourself out instead of waiting to throw a double.

Answer 10

Yes: never buy park lane (second to last property if you play another version!).
The most likely throw of two die is 7
BUT seven before park lane is 'Go to Jail'!

Therefore you are less likely to land on it than any other property.
So i suggest invest in the other expensive properties where players are more likely to land!
