If you’re choosing between adding a 4th house or starting to build on another set, start buying houses for the other set

3 houses is when rents start to become painful.

The sweet spot is 3 houses.This is a statistically sound choice for more than one reason: However, later in the game, jail can become a refuge. It’s too important a time to spend it locked up. In the early stages of the game, definitely pay to get out of jail immediately. “MONOPOLY is not so much about the amount of money you have, as the opportunities you can deprive your opponents of.” Bjorn Halvard Knappskog 2009 MONOPOLY World Champion Trading is an inevitable part of the game, so maximise your trade value. It’s worth doing because you can’t guarantee you’ll land on the squares you want organically. It might sound counter-intuitive, but buy whatever you land on, even if you have to mortgage some properties to raise the funds. Even if it’s not the set you want, you’ll need every property you can get to make good trades later on. The early part of the game is about buying property. But even half of that isn’t bad! Add a couple more players to the game and the railways can be a source of steady income.

Now, to be fair, luck would have to be on your side. If you have all 4, you’re looking at potential rent of M800 in a single round, and that’s with only 1 opponent. If you own 3-4 they can bring in a lot of money even early in the game. There’s no doubt they can be a lucrative asset. But recognised MONOPOLY expert, Craig Way, thinks you can win with the railways alone!

The Railways are another dividing point. Ken Koury and 2015 MONOPOLY World Champion, Nicolò Falcone, think they’re a waste of space. If you trade them away, other players are likely to overpay for them, so you can make some easy money early in the game by selling them on. On the flip-side there’s the dreaded “Advance to Mayfair” Chance card. The dice rolling odds are just not in favour of landing on those two properties. Anyone who lands on the “Go to Jail” square will automatically skip that entire stretch. But those properties are on the “bad” side of the board. The dark blue set raises controversy.Yes, you can end the game with a hotel on Mayfair for M2000 rent, if some poor unfortunate is unlucky enough to land on it. The “Advance to the nearest utility” card puts you on the Electric Company 2 out of 3 times, which is just 1 roll away from the Oranges.The “Go back 3 spaces” card puts you on Vine Street 1 in 3 times.The “Advance to Pall Mall (or St Charles Place)” card puts you 7 spaces from Marlborough Street, and 7 is statistically the most common roll in the game.Statistically, the most landed-on square is Jail because there are so many ways to get sent there (2 “Go to Jail” cards roll doubles 3 times in a row the Go to Jail square), and the Orange set has a high likelihood of being landed on from that position.The Oranges are most likely to be landed on for many reasons: Ken Koury, the MONOPOLY strategist, is clear.

However, there are some simple strategies that can help tip the odds in your favour. Luck does play a part, to the point that if the dice rolls right a new player can beat a lifetime champion. However you play, there are no guarantees, and that makes MONOPOLY one of the most intriguing and infuriating board games of all time. You might depend on luck or you might stick to tested formulas. However you play MONOPOLY, there are tactics that can help you buy and sell your way to the top! For others it’s a ruthless battle of wills.
