    In the advanced video you should mention the house supply of 32 houses. If you manage to get both the browns and light blues, your objective would be to build four houses on each. That would leave only 12 houses left for all the other opponents combined. Unless you get someone really lucky, chances are you'll slowly bleed everyone dry with rents in the $300 to $400 range.
    I would never pass up buying the browns. The $60 property cost is nothing and they are very cheap to develop. They are a great cash cow, especially if you own another group.

They placed hotels two turns later and they almost won because people were losing their go money. The crack shack gambit can be crazy frustrating lol

      Risk isn't hard to figure out. Some of it is luck, but mostly knowing when to defend and when to blitz someone and knock them out, taking their cards. Australia and south/north America is king. Then it's just keeping a finger in the other continents so they can't draw cards.
      The Game Night risk on Switch is actually a very good rendition. Far better than the Monopoly one imo. Though the AI does make some questionable moves at times.

I'm going to apply these principles when I want to win - maybe with sufficient practice these can be employed with very little mental overhead, but I would likely find them exhausting the first few times and they would preclude me from freely having fun - though who cares about fun if you just want to win?!?

    An important tip is to buy at least one of every color. This gives you the option to trade with others. Also remember houses are limited in the game. It's an option to not build a hotel and only 4 houses, to keep the others from making money. This is especially important when you play with house rules that give more money or extend the game. With no auctions, the game takes longer, because some streets take longer to get and prevents players to get a cheap deal. With more money, players can afford high rents and the goal is stall others.
    With the official rules, the game is actually short, so maybe insist on playing by the book and maybe make the game more fun, because bankruptcy doesn't take so long. It makes no fun when for 2 hours one player is slowly draining your money and due to more money, it takes longer and you have the feeling of maybe turning the game into your favor.

      @bobapjok4241 11 місяців тому +28

      There is a lot here i dont think normal people realize. you should basically never buy hotels unless you cannot control the amount of houses there. preventing others from buying houses is a HUGE advantage accomplished by just building the 4 and not allowing others to build. also, you are so right about the rules. The game does not take that long as is commonly thought. It only takes so long when house rules are added (especially extra money for landing on free parking)

      Study and know the official rules like the back of your hand, and only agree to play Monopoly with people who will play by these rules. Otherwise, fights start. Because it’s inevitable someone will have some random stupid house rule that they pull out of their ass when it’s advantageous to them. Also, non-official rules lead to the game taking way too long.

    The problem with the housing thing is that when the people who you play with also know this, which they do in my case, then they never let go of a property, e.g if you want or buy an orange and you already have one then, my family will only sell it for over 500, and more like 1000 if you have 2, which means it is Extremely hard to get a set and most people only give someone a cards needed to get a set if you give the Same to them, so you never get a lead in development

    • @exantiuse497
      @exantiuse497 Рік тому +1

      Yeah... these videos work under the assumption that the opponent doesn't understand the game. In real games people will try to prevent others from gaining monopolies and gaining one becomes highly dependant on luck. Luck in general plays a big role in this game, it isn't chess or anything where the most skilled player always wins, so it's very questionable to claim this is "how to always win at Monopoly"
      Also, in his example of a "strategic play" (where he gave the dog the orange card), he had something like 1500 worth of property, while his opponents had around 500 and 1000 in property and cash. His play was only possible because he already had a massive advantage. Surely anyone can win when he has more stuff than his opponents combined, I don't understand the point

      Also in games and not the physical board game it’s pure random and you’re at the fate of RnG and makes a luck based game even more luck based and some the rules like auctioning every property you don’t buy makes it even harder as you’re giving other players the possibility to get easy monopoly’s themselves potentially

    One strategy you haven't mentioned is controlling the house supply. There is a set number of houses in the game and sometimes it's better to not upgrade to a hotel to prevent someone else being able to build.

      The house supply strategy is good, you just usually can force the game to end first. If houses become short and the game is even, then yeah using up the house supply can work to your favor for sure

      THIS. It's nowhere in your videos, but what you want and NEED to win is to MONOPOLIZE the housing supply! That's why I will always go for Orange (because, duh, they're the best properties to win with), Pink (again, because it's in the most-landed strip after Jail and not so expensive to buy houses on), Light Blue _AND_ Brown, because they can be had for cheap and the cost to soak up the remaining houses is very low. Eight houses on the brown properties will set you back just $400, the cost of just two houses on the Dark Blues. If you allow someone to build to hotels, and then you soak up ALL the houses (aka, don't go to hotels, just four houses on the monopolies), when they have to sell any of the houses, they'll be down to no homes at all, making it very difficult for your opponents to get serious cash out of you or your opponents. Make sure you have space and money to buy houses the instant your opponents have to sell them to make rent. Absolutely ensure you buy up the houses as quickly as you can and there's no way you'll lose...Unless of course you get hit for the Property Improvement cards where you have to pay per house on your properties. If that gets picked up by another player who has no houses, thank your stars you didn't get it.

    I'm suprised you didn't mention getting a monopoly on housing. With only 32 houses, it only takes 8 properties with 4 houses each to completely lock the game and prevent anyone from upgrading their properties. This greatly increases the value of Brown and Blue, as if you can make "bad" trades to get them, you can build lots of houses and limit the supply. This allows only one other color set to be completed. Even if you don't have those sets... building cheap houses (and ignoring hotels) is a good way to limit the supply of houses, and players will be forced to only build a few houses each.

    Risk is a game that may deserve your attention for a future video.
    One strategy I've seen used by a power player is to trade a final card of some color to someone who has nothing else, in order to stymie another power player. So, using the example of trading away the last orange card, one might trade that to the player who is struggling, knowing that player will put houses on it, right before the other powerhouse player has to navigate past it.

    • @whatswhat2022
      @whatswhat2022  Рік тому +3

      Yeah risk has been asked for a lot and it's definitely one of my personal favorites. Yeah the orange card idea is super clever and I've done it a few times. Only reason I didn't add it is it would've been insane to try and convey in a decent way, but it's definitely a really good way to take down someone who might have gotten stronger than you. As long as they hit them and not you!

      ​​@@whatswhat2022 I'm late but in considering tactics on *Risk*, there are things that I would like to point out mentioned or to be questioned in the future strategy guide in debunking these pointers.
      ~ 1. Everyone knows the "turtle Australia" and "SA stronghold" techniques, so I wonder in a long game if these areas can be pigeon hold since everyone is racing for these territories?
      ~ 2. (mythbusting) Best to control Asia territory if only have the iron grip in Europe territory. In personal experience and game set, Europe has 5 troups bonus and its in the better part (by logistics) of the board if bother to get Asia (despite being placed in the dangerous part of the board by looks).
      ~3. NA is actually also a good territory to hold first other than SA (4 troups bonus and 3 fronts, sweet deal!). Africa territory is vulnerable in a short game but a good stronghold in pair with SA territory in a long game.
      I'm not too sure if they're clarify well but hopefully answered. And also I've only played in random on online but rarely on docking territories traditionally.

    Another strategy I didn’t see you cover is that if you have a whole set of properties, It would be in your best interest to just buy houses instead of a hotel. There’s only a limited amount of houses in the game. Once all the houses are taken by the players. There are no more houses to build on which means players don’t get the chance to raise their rent. (This strategy usually works when there’s more than 2 players in the game.)

Basically, forcing this person into "idle mode", where they must wait for the entire board to be finish so they can move into doing something else

    You should’ve had something about causing a housing shortage here. That’s how you put potentially strong competitors out of their misery. The Browns are amazing for holding houses and causing a shortage if you have another color set. There are 32 houses in the game. If you’re playing with 4 players, have 4 houses on the oranges and 4 on the browns, you are taking up 62% of the game’s houses. The other 38% have to be split up between the 3 people

    • @omargoodman2999
      @omargoodman2999 Рік тому +1

      And then, if you reach a point that you need those houses on a different property, just upgrade the Browns to Hotels and, simultaneously, buy back the returned houses so no one else can snatch them up. It tacks the cost of a Brown Hotel onto the cost of whatever houses you're buying, but it makes it a "safe" purchase.

    • @whatswhat2022
      @whatswhat2022  Рік тому

      That's a really good point, and I had it on my initial script. But when the script went over 12 minutes I cut it since when you are playing without house rules and hit most of these points it's hard to actually build that many houses. My philosophy is to finish the game before that much gets developed and run the game out of contention by the money supply, plus more people want to play when the game takes like an hour and a half and not like 5 hours. But it's definitely a good angle to look at

Picture this, I had all the railroads, and there were no other monopolies up. I would slowly bleed the competition out. Same goes for the browns, or any other monopoly. Do not give an inch when ahead is a very viable gameplan, unless you can get even further ahead with lesser risks than what you gain. 🙂
      I have seen a lot of YT videos in a competative monopoly setting.(swiftor) and I often see players taking high risk trades when they are ahead, and are holding leverage, giving it away. And thus creating unnecessary risks on the board for themselves.

    I have a brown street strategy that worked most times. I rush to get both brown places, since they're pretty cheap and most other players don't want them. From then on it costs 50 to build a house and 200 to build a hotel- so 800 for two hotels right in the beginning of the game. It makes it up after two times of someone landing on it and if you manage to do it fast enough, it can win the game in record time, since other players need to pay you 400 or 450 right at the beginning. Even if not, it gives a very nice head start for the rest of the game- it's low risk high reward
