Given how much money is on the table, you have no choice but to be shrewd and ruthless in Monopoly Go. It’s nothing personal; it’s just good business. The most efficient way to play is by taking advantage of the board, keeping a tight fist on your dice rolls, and playing events, but that’s just the beginning. If you really want to succeed, there are a couple of must-know tips and tricks you should keep in mind when you’re circling the board in Monopoly Go.
Unlock the Community Chest as Soon as Possible
Much like the Free Parking space, the Community Chest is a jackpot of sorts, one that can win once every day. However, the feature isn’t accessible right away, not until after you’ve added five friends. If you don’t have five friends, then go make some by sending invites to random players, IRL friends, and family!
Now, every time you land on the Community Chest tile, money is added to the Community Chest. When the jackpot gets large enough, you can play a mini-game for a chance to win it all. Of course, your friends might win it instead, but that’s just how lotteries are.
Do try to avoid opening the Community Chest until you’re ready to get off for the day. That way, the jackpot has the opportunity to grow and grow into a truckload of cash.
Maximize Your Dice Multiplier With the 6-7-8 Rule
With dice being a precious, limited commodity, you want to be really stingy with your rolls. Most of the time you should be sticking to 1x most of the time and only in specific situations do you increase your dice multiplier.
For example, if you’re getting close to a railroad and it’s 7 spaces away, go ahead and bump up the dice multiplier. The same goes for tokens if you’re 6 to 8 spaces away. In both cases, it’s the most efficient way to use your dice and if you keep this strategy up, you’ll end up accruing a lot of dice rolls.
Join Sticker Trading Communities
Collecting stickers in Monopoly Go is one of the best ways to earn rewards without doing much of anything. As you play, you’ll earn more and more, but often times you’ll be left with several incomplete sticker books, and the game won’t release said rewards until it’s completed. That’s where trading comes in handy.
Since everyone playing is getting different stickers, it’s only natural to trade what you don’t need with others. Sounds simple enough, right? There is one problem though: you obviously need to find other players to trade with.
Aside from asking random strangers on the street if they happen to have a digital sticker, the next best thing is to join Monopoly Go trading groups. Try MonopolyGoTrading on Reddit or even the official Monopoly Go Discord server!
Burn Through Cash Before You Log Out
Unlike the traditional game of Monopoly, being down to your last dollar (or having no money at all) has no lasting penalty. You can technically go bankrupt, but you won’t be kicked from the game. No harm, no foul.
The goal is to spend as much money as you can before you log out or when you’re getting low on dice. Maybe you have a few properties you’ve been meaning to upgrade. I say go for it!
But why? Well, when you’re away from Monopoly Go, other players can raid your bank. If all they’re raiding is a bank full of dust and cobwebs, you’ll get the last laugh. You’ll earn more money back in no time and can easily repair any damages.
Wring the Game Dry of Free Giveaways
Monopoly Go is downright stingy when it comes to rewards, which is to be expected of a free-to-play mobile game. However, you can game the system and collect a steady stream of free stuff from these sources:
- Use any and all Dice Links.
- Collect gifts from the store every 8 hours. Try setting a reminder!
- Join the Monopoly Go Discord server to stay up-to-date with giveaways.
- Opening the Community chest.
- Participate in events.
- Daily login bonus. The rewards are greater if you keep your streak going.
One thing to note about the in-game store gifts. The 8-hour timer counts down after you collect the most recent gift. Hence, why you should set a reminder, preferably when you’re awake.
