Question

Answer 1

No, DON'T buy hotels! Buy only houses, four on each property on completed sets until you create a HOUSING SHORTAGE. According to the rules, once the houses run out you have to wait until they become available again - i.e. until someone cashes them in to buy a hotel. MONOPOLIZE the property building market by hogging the houses!! But keep some cash in hand for property repairs!

Answer 2

The Orange, Red, Yellow, and Green properties are the best. I always start off by buying all of the orange and putting up hotels and houses. If I land on something I want, I buy it. I usually end up with Orange/Red/Yellow or just Orange/Yellow. The first row properties are good too, like the baby blue ones. If your opponent has property too, be careful with your money. Each game varies for me. Sometimes I buy everything in one go, other times I wait several turns until I buy a house or a new property.

Don't buy water works or the electric company. The railroads are alright, but not necessary. DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, just buy whatever you land on. That is how you go broke :)

Answer 3

Since this game is tremendously luck-based, there is no 'guaranteed' strategy to win (other than not playing). BUT, there are some edges you can use.

1. Orange and Red group - pretty sure these are the most hit due to the area that would be hit when released from Jail

2. Railroads. has Chance/CC cards that send people to there. The 'return' on the rent is great (property cost $200, and all four, the rent is $200.

3. Avoid trading until most, if not all, properties are sold.

4. When trading NEVER trade a monopoly for less than a monopoly.

5. Once all properties are sold, stay in Jail as long as possible.

6. Buy Houses/Hotels ASAP. Do not worry about being able to 'pay the rent' on other properties. If you don't invest money, you will not make money.

Answer 4

Yes, the above poster who gave you the edge tips are the best - As soon as you land on a property, BUY!! Be conservative with your money so you can buy!  Buy as much as you can...then definitely make sure you put houses and real estate on.  ESPECIALLY the Railroads.  If you are lucky enough to buy the Blue (Park Ave.) section, you'll be laughing!  I always win at Monopoly...and I never used to!

Oh - and Make sure you collect your money every!! time you pass "Go" - sometimes people forget, it's an honest but costly mistake...:-)

Good Luck girl!!  Beat his pants off!! lol

Answer 5

buy everyother thing you land on unless its good

roll dice near the corner so if they fall of the board by "accident" you can roll again.

Answer 6

my mom always wins by buying one whole side of the board as fast as she can. And it's always the green side. Then she puts houses and hotels up, so as soon as you turn the corner, you know you're going broke....

Answer 7

ok monaply the greatest game ever buy property alot of it then

put houses the key to the game is to ahve alot of money and morgage thats how i win some times.

Answer 8

try your best to get all the propeties of the following colours:

both blues, brown, green and all four train stations

those are the ones you commonly will land on.

get the whole side of a board and see your rent turn double!

Get plenty of money from those propeties and start building your hotels! Remember to save some money for the street repair cards-they cost a bomb.

Answer 9

Answer 10
