Hint:
Defeating the CPU:
Use the following trick to defeat the CPU with two to four players under the
hard difficulty setting. Go to "Custom Rules" and set the houses
to 88 and apartments to 22. Turn the jackpot on and set the Landing On Go
bonus to $400.00. Pick Land On Free Parking and set the jackpot to $750.00.
Use the classic view, as it is easier to see before choosing whichever board
you desire. When you start the game, buy only the properties you can get
three of and avoid the railroads and utilities. Do not bid top high on the
properties that you cannot get much money for. Never bid more money than you
have, as you do not want to mortgage properties. Try to get a set, even if
it means trading with the CPU or offering them money. Sometimes you will
have to offer them both. Once you get a set of two or three, put houses on
the cheapest house first, unless you have Boardwalk and Park Place, so you
can save money and eventually put up hotels on all your properties. If you
have many houses or hotels and get in jail, try to stay in there as long as
you can and collect your money. You can also stay in jail if the CPU has
many houses or hotels to remain on the safe side. Try to have at least $100
to $200 or more to stay safe. Even if you have to wait to pass Go or land on
Free Parking, once you start getting sets and hotels on those properties,
try to get sets that are next to each other, or on an entire side of the
board.
When you have a full set of
properties, build immediately until you have no money remaining to build.
You can always take down unimportant houses or hotels, or mortgage
unimportant properties if your "bill" becomes too large.
Hint:
Properties:
Try and get all three orange properties and Boardwalk and Park Place. The
orange properties are the most hit, and Boardwalk and Park Place are the
most expensive when hit.
Hint:
General tips:
Own all the railroads. Try to
get them at a low price, but if you have to buy one from someone, spend as
much as you need; it will pay off in the end.
Try to own the entire side
between Jail and Free Parking. There are two cards that tell you to land
on St. James Place and New York Ave. Also, they are cheap to buy, cheap to
build, but have a devastating payoff with hotels.
Boardwalk and Park Place are
highly overrated. Forget about them.
Waterworks and Electric
Company do not bring in money.
Try to own at least one of
every color. That way, more deals will be with you.
Own houses instead of hotels.
There are only thirty two houses. If you own two different color sets and
build houses, you will use twenty four houses just with them.
Late in the game, you will
want to go to jail. You can just sit there and bank in the cash. Early in
the game, avoid jail to buy your properties.
If the CPU owns two of the
three properties of a color, and there is an auction for the last, raise
the stakes high. The CPU will want it.
If you are in an auction,
always go $1 higher than the highest bidder.
