3 tactics to always win Monopoly

How do I always win Monopoly? Three tactics:

Winning Monopoly is a mix of luck and strategy. Here are three simple tactics you can use to increase your chances:

1. Ownership strategy

A. Focus on orange and red streets
- Buy the orange (Oranje Vrijstaat, Barteljorisstraat, and Spuistraat) and red (Ketelstraat, Neude, and Heerestraat) streets. This is where players land most often.
- Quickly build houses and hotels on these streets to collect high rents.

B. Build smart homes
- Build three houses on each of your streets before building hotels. The rent increases the most at the first three houses.
- Invest in multiple streets instead of putting everything on one street. This gives you more opportunities for rental income.

C. Avoid utilities and railroads
- Utilities (Electricity and Water) and railways (Stations) make less money than streets with houses and hotels. Focus mainly on color sets of streets.

2. Negotiation strategy

A. Trade smart
- Trade properties to get complete sets. Offer deals that are good for the other person, but even better for you.
- Only give away property you don't need, and make sure you don't give a monopoly to someone else without getting anything valuable in return.

B. Use your money to buy
- Be prepared to pay a lot for the streets you need to complete a set. A complete set is often worth more than having a lot of money.
- Negotiate well, but also be realistic. Sometimes it is better to accept a little less to get an important property.

C. Pay attention to what others need
- Keep track of which streets other players need and use this knowledge during negotiations.
- Try to get streets that others need to make full sets. This gives you negotiating power.

3. Financial Strategy

A. Don't spend too much too soon
- Make sure you always have enough money to pay rent and cover unexpected costs. Don't spend all your money on houses and hotels too quickly.
- Always keep a buffer, especially if you are close to expensive streets.

B. Smart mortgages
- If you need money, mortgage streets that you are not actively developing. Pay off the mortgage quickly to get rental income again.
- Choose streets that are less frequently visited for mortgaging.

C. Be careful with large expenses
- Don't buy too expensive streets and don't pay high fines if your money is limited. It is better to save money for important moments.
- Consider carefully whether you want to build a hotel. Hotels generate a lot of rent, but also cost a lot of money.

With these simple tactics you can increase your chances of winning Monopoly. Lots of fun!
