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. 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.
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.
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. |
