Monopoly is a strategic board game where players roll the dice to purchase properties, collect rent, and outlast opponents by driving them into bankruptcy.
Starting the Monopoly, each player receives a set amount of money and takes turns rolling two dice to move around the board. If players land on a property that isn't owned by anyone, they can purchase it from the bank. Otherwise, this property goes to auction. Landing on someone else's property means paying rent, which increases if the property has houses or hotels. The primary goal is to maintain financial stability, bankrupt other players, and work toward owning complete sets of properties.
In Monopoly, securing full color sets allows players to construct houses and raise rent significantly, with orange and red sets offering strong returns due to their frequent traffic. Railroads are also a wise investment, as owning multiple groups will increase rents significantly. Players should also be cautious with utilities, as they yield lower returns unless purchased at low prices.
Players should maintain cash reserves to handle unexpected expenses such as taxes or rents on opponents' properties in Monopoly. Players should also avoid over-expansion by building too many houses at once. Also, engage in trades that help players complete property sets, but make sure the deals are mutually beneficial. Players can use auctions to buy properties at lower prices, especially when other players are short on cash.
