Monopoly is a great board game that you can play with the family. But in case you want to be victorious, here are some important tips.
1. Buy everything
I often see people buying only high-quality things, which they think is the secret of the game. No, the secret of the game is to buy everything. Even the lowest property on the board gives you
some kind of cash flow when people land on it.
The more you buy, the more likely someone is to land on something.
2. Buy the railways
I love railroads because it’s a quick and easy way to start earning a little more rent. Sure, you won’t earn as much if you own 3 railways than if you own 1 hotel, but the odds of someone landing on one of those three railways are much higher than in the hotel, and they are also much quicker to get.
Sometimes it pays to look for quick ways to get a high rent.
3. Spread out
You don’t want to be the person who only owns one hotel, unless you’re feeling very, very lucky. Instead, it is a much better idea to own smaller houses across the board. That way, you will earn more as people will land on them more often.
My philosophy is that the hotels get mortgaged, the houses pay the bills. At least when it comes to monopoly
4. Go to jail
When it’s later in the game, you’ll want to stay in jail for as long as possible. In fact, if they let you out, beg you to come back in. You don’t want to leave unless you own most of what’s on the field. At the beginning of the game it is different, it is probably better to pay to get out of jail. This way you can be free and go buy everything.
