Monopoly, luck or strategy?

Question

Monopoly, luck or strategy?

Answer 1

both. it was a strategy of mine to hide some of the pieces so the game didnt work properly then luck because my parents decided they didnt like it much so threw the rest out. the most boring game ever invented

Answer 2

statergy- my brother (whos 6!) always buy hotels on mayfair and all the stations and neraly always wins! i suppose its luck as well because u need to land on the right propertys.

Answer 3

Monopoly is actually a game of luck and strategy. If you had strategy and no luck, you will lose everything you own. But if you only have luck, and no strategy, even you step on the best square, you wouldn't know if it's good to buy it or not. Hope I helped!! :p

Answer 4

well im very good with monopely- its the luck of the dice on where you land but you need strategy to buy the right lands

i usually go for the all the railroads

Answer 5

Mostly strategy, but some luck also.

The roll of the dice is luck. You need to land on Boardwalk in order to buy it. So that is some luck.

But you have to be able to buy the property when and if you get a chance, you have to have money. That is strategy.

Making sure you have enough money when you are getting ready to roll through enemy territory is due to strategy.

So a combination of the two is probably the answer.

Answer 6

Luck comes into play when you roll the dice.  Strategy comes into play when you are trying to bankrupt everyone else.

Answer 7

Strategy! I have almost zero luck with dice but I can do really good at this game!! I buy everything I land on if I have the money for it(even if I have to mortgage a property to get it)!! My strategy is in trading with opponents to get what I want! Usually the cheap ones.

Answer 8

I'd say Both because you have to plan ahead which places you want to buy and you have to be lucky if you want or don't want to land a place.

Answer 9

Both you need luck when rolling the dice, and get lucky by having an opponent land on your properties our you will never win. That said you need to know when to build houses, and hotels, when to make a trade, what to trade, what not to, when to make other deals etc or you will lose that way.

Answer 10

Both, which is the definition of the word "game." If it were all luck, you would have no control over your fate and it would be a lottery. If it were all skill, you would be able to master it and  it would be a puzzle.

Answer 11

I say mostly luck. You can strategize and try to buy the choice properties, but that's only if you happen to land on them. So I say it's about 70% luck and 30% strategy.

Answer 12

The short answer is both. Whether you land on boardwalk or luxury tax is luck but spending all of your money on houses when your about to go through your opponents properties a bad move. Always buy the unoccupied properties, and never cut anyone a break because they're low on cash. Milk it.

Answer 13

Location! Location! Location!

...strategy.

Answer 14

Strategy.  Entirely.  Luck is a tactical advantage but if you are following the proper strategy you will always win against someone not playing with a plan.

There are several books on the subject; some written by world champions.
