What's the best strategy for Monopoly. How do I stay in the game and have lots of money.?

Question

I always end up going broke or having to borrow money from the bank or selling property to get ahead. What a good plan??

Answer 1

The whole game is about not getting bank rupt and if you want to get money you buy a property and if someone steps on your property then they have to pay you money. If you still dont get it check the board or the papers that come with it. But if its a game the go to help.

Answer 2

Most of the time buying everything you land on works well.

That way no one can collect a set and build houses. When they want to buy streets of you, ask for a high price. Never give up the highest srteets (whatever they're called).

Answer 3

Monopoly can be a very simple game or very complex. The more you play, the more you will learn about the game and the strategies of winning.

Answer 4

Legally change your name to Bill Gates and you will win by default.

Answer 5

cheat

Answer 6

dont go overboard on spending, you want to try and buy certain properties such as the orange and red's because they are cheaper and offer higher rewards. What you don't want to do is spend money on stupid properties that aren't needed, also make alliances by trading away properties that aren't going to be of use, this way later in the game people wont be trying to get you out as much as other players

Answer 7

always buy property when you have the opportunity.

but it's not a game of pure skill since much depends on the roll of the dice.

Answer 8

PLAN? I know monopoly inside and out. Dont listen to these other people. Heres the deal- in the game of monopoly- you can go around the board and within the first  round or two around it, buy everything good. The people who buy the good stuff, and get the color groups are going to win the game- simple as that. Its a matter of luck. peace  5050

Answer 9

Well I mostly win at monopoly (not bragging), my strategy is to buy all places on the board before anyone else because if you have something someone else doesn't have you could auction it off or trade so you could get houses.

Answer 10

If someone else has more houses than you, and you go to jail, STAY THERE and let them land on your property for once!

Answer 11

Dont over-buy.  Follow the rules for property buying - remind people they dont have to buy it if they land on it, and if they dont, it then goes up for auction to the highest bidder - which is a good way to force sets to be completed or make other people spend their money unwisely.  Ask that the "FREE PARKING" pot be introduced - start the game with 50 or 100 under FREE PARKING, and every time you have to pay something to the bank OTHER THAN buying property or houses, put the money under FREE PARKING.  When someone lands on it, they get all the cash under the FREE PARKING.  Introduce the "more jail time, greater the fine" - keep doubling how much it costs to buy your way out of jail each time someone lands in jail.  Eventually everyone stays in jail for the full turns unless they roll doubles and get to leave.

Answer 12

The properties you want to own are the ones between Jail and Go To Jail.  These have the best return (esp. the oranges and the reds) as they're the most landed on properties.  So either buy or trade to get these.  You want to buy everthing you can so you have properties to trade with as you probably won't land on all the spaces you want to own.  According to the official rules you must buy unowned property you land on or it is to be auctioned by the bank.  Sometimes auctions work to your advantage if you can bid up a property another player needs and make them spend more than it's worth, but you don't want to let an opponent get needed property cheap (a good rule of thumb is not to bid more than mortgage value on a piece of property you don't need -- you can always get your money back this way by mortgaging it).

After you get the monopolies you want build to at least 3 houses on each as quickly as possible.  The third house has the biggest jump in rent on every property on the board.

Follow these guidlines and with a little luck from the dice you should be in good position to win the game.  Try it -- it works!

Answer 13

Be the banker and cheat.

Answer 14

u would buy everything that u land on and get hotel and houses and stay out of jail
