But then you could get wiped out with the assessment card(Community Chest's card is worse than the chance one-C.C. charges $40 per house compared to Chance's $25/house) If you have three groups each with 12 houses-That's 36 X 25=900 from the Chance card and 36 X 40=1,440 from Community Chest-That's gonna leave a mark!
I think we can all agree the worst thing that happens in monopoly is when your on it and your fully invested and your family or friends says the dreaded “I’m bored I’m gonna quit”
@@addisonfung5009or maybe have everyone a separate doom clock, say 20 min each in a 4player game, there is only 1 hr 20 min of real in game time. Those who take the longest on their turns get punished so ine has to be thinking ahead and be involved
@@legendofthenight2687 No, it tends to make the game longer. Because it introduces more cash into the game's economy. Which makes it harder to knock players out of the game through bankruptcy. How? By allowing losing players to last longer/recover, and allowing powerful players to shrug off the repair cards that could ruin or weaken them otherwise.
Common rule mistake quoted. According to the official US rules for Monopoly you MUST have 4 houses in place before you can buy a Hotel. The houses are then returned to the bank. You CANNOT directly buy a hotel. You must have 4 houses in place.
@@mariasaraleguy6755 Don't know about the economy, but as for Monopoly I dislike the rules that give the front runner even more of an edge - like the houses rule and the bankrupt rule in which the rich boy automatically gets all the broke guy's properties.
No you can NOT jump straight to hotels if there are no houses available, please learn this everybody... I lost a game like this since nobody believed me that this is how it works, sucks to be playing against people who do not know the rules.
You're correct. To get to a hotel you have to have enough houses available to trade them in for the hotel. It also works the other way. If there aren't any houses left and you have to sell a hotel to make rent, you have to sell them ALL (houses and hotels). Housing shortages are a strategy.
Actually if there are no houses left you must buy 3 hotels to build therefore you have the pay the cost of 15 houses to the bank which is very difficult especially on the expensive properties.
"But in my experience many players tend to overvalue the railroads" A younger family friend once completed my yellow color group AND gave me 6000 dollars in exchange for the fourth railroad. This was after he'd paid around 1300 dollars in an auction for the third railroad. Hands down the most entertaining game of Monopoly I've ever played. 😂
I once was so flush with cash I was lending it to my sister at a 10% rate every time they went around the board. that was the most fun game of monopoly I've played.
Tell me about it. Everytime I play with my cousin I lose. I've never seen a luckyer person when it comes to this game. He NEVER lands on my properties and I ALWAYS land on his. It's ridiculous. I had 3/4 of the map one time and I still lost🙄
Tbh he undervalues the greens, they still get landed on a lot even with the go to jail space. They are only about 2 or 3 rolls away from jail, and you have to land directly on the go to jail space which is pretty hard to do.
It's weird to see the cards u showed because in Scotland and I'm guessing England we have British street names mostly England there is no Scottish streets
Hey Dan, was just wondering how you were doing. Like most folks in my generation I learned how to do a Rubik's cube from you and I really appreciate that. It gave me the confidence to go on to do bigger things. I hope you're well.
Do you know what happened to dan videos? He had a bunch of them on this channel and now I only see a few :( I like to check in every few years but I feel like I was away longer than I thought
@@robertouellette8499 I’m not sure either :( but it seems like he’s moved on from RUclips. Can’t blame him, it seems exhausting but I hope he’s doing well.
I actually thought of those midgame strats after the first couple times of playing this game, but only the positives. I realized that people going to jail was really beneficial for me if I owned the properties of the following square. However, you left out how good Railroads can be. They are a diverse property, meaning that wherever people are, they can land on a railroad next. Also, I believe that there are 2 cards that send you to a railroad, and make the person pay you TWICE as much. Also, it's a property that grows in benefit without having to invest money in it. You just have to buy more railroads.
Definetly the best Cash Flow if you have 3/4, you can literally financiate everything with them (assuming you follow the 3 houses strat and you prioritize the first half of the board)
In the Mega Edition you can buy train depot's to double the rent. It only gets doubled for that space though. Afaik the doubling stacks with the chance card "advance to nearest railroad" card. That chance card doubles rent already. Maybe quadruple rent if you are lucky?
I think another reason that games get extended is a way to prevent late game strategy you brought up. Many people I've played with have house rules whereby if the bank runs out of houses, you just cut out little green squares of cardboard and use them. This kills that strategy of limiting opponent's houses. And that's one of those house rules that people wont give up. Like, my grandparents will enforce the house rule of "unlimited houses" to make it "fair" for the younger grandkids. Additionally, I believe the box has "Ages 8+" written on it, and while it's not a game that's violent or sexual or otherwise bad for people under 13, I've never played a game with a cousin under the age of 13 that didn't end in that person crying when they started to lose during the mid-game. Then the grandparents take pity on the kid and give out large, interest free loans, and sometimes implement a taxation system in the game to help the younger player, but it also massively extends the game, and antagonises older players. The reason it ends when a player goes broke is because it's a game that was originally designed by Georgists to demonstrate the ways that renting creates a system that rewards landlords and impoverishes tenants. If you're old enough to realise that the game is designed to do this, you're able to play the real rules without consequence, but when parents and grandparents insist that young kids be "treated fairly" inside a system that is literally designed to be unfair, this creates house rules that extends the game and gives it a bad rap. Things I have learned today by writing this comment: - playing monopoly with a 10 year old cousin and your capitalist grandparents is a good way to make your grandparents realise that as soon as they actually care about a poor person who is being screwed by the system, they'll turn into socialists.
The first point you brought up is legit, the rest is highly circumstantial haha But you're absolutely right with the houses. I've even seen people combine copies of the game for extra pieces. Typical Americans, lets make our own rules instead of reading the actual rules haha
humans are either much more similar to each other than you expected, or everyone is always just completely rippingoff the most popular people. Which one do you think it really is?
Tip: be unpredictable. I'm not talking about during games, but if you play games with the same people then it's best to switch up your strategy. For example, if you've played 3 games with the same people then they're probably going to catch onto your strategy and attempt to steal it for themselves. Use this to your advantage, as you can try to counter-attack your own strategy. This can be difficult, so it's best to just switch up your playing-style every few games so they don't catch on. I call it playing incognito.
To get our family to play Monopoly, we had to put a time limit of 1 hour on the game. People quit when it goes for hours on end. One hour seemed to be a good length for the game. Everyone totals their cash on hand, the purchase price of the properties, and the amount for rent, which would reflect the improvements that were done.
I play it on a Turn Basis. We play for about 20-30 Turns. After the number of turns end, we collect our rent one last time. The player with the most cash wins.
I also have defended Monopoly against the "it's too long" comment. The most often forgotten rule, which is key to making the game quick and fun, is that when someone lands on a property, they can either buy it or start an auction in which they themselves can participate. This means that all properties are sold after a couple turns. For some reason, very few people around where I live know that's how monopoly is played. However, Monopoly is also a hated game for a few other reasons: it has luck, and even if it's a game of calculated risks, sometimes you just can't stop landing on the tax tile and drawing bad cards. But more than anything, a bad player can win due to a horrible player's mistakes. When it is obvious that a player is loosing, they might give up. In that case, whoever they were supposed to pay at that moment now owns everything that player had. And when players just give up instead of trying to make deals, they often give a lot. And when a player loses, they can't play anymore. A game with too much luck and where players can be eliminated, that's a deal breaker in parties. This is why monopoly is nice against a single player or a machine. The only problem is that I found all the flaws in my PSP game's AI so I win every time in about 10 minutes. Oh my, I managed to make an argument about a light subject x)
+DominoPivot I don't think the not buying property has such a bad effect as "I'll pay you when I have the money" a person can go in dept to other players in the thousands without ever finishing the game.
+DominoPivot All of my friends argue that it's too aggressive and it always ends up in a fight or an argument. Which only seems to happen when you take the game waaaaaaaaaay too seriously.
Haha, you're quite right about the giving up and giving a lot thing. When I play, I know you are supposed to auction the pieces but I don't. It's more out of niceness or something. I mainly have only played with my two siblings and that is very likely why we don't use that rule. We DO, however, play with house rules but it has been proven for us to make things go faster than without it. You can build houses and hotels faster and force people out of the game. The two rules we have are, yes, you do get at least $500 (using the old currency in Monopoly) when you land on Free Parking. Additionally, there is a pot. All money usually owed to the bank when you draw Community Chest, Chance, or owe taxes goes into the pot, though if a card says to pay a player, you pay that player. Thus, including the initial $500, you get all of that money. The hilarity of how often one of us gets the pot in some games (without cheating!! We've all become very hawk-eyed at watching for cheaters) is priceless :) This said, these rules do make it hard to play with outsiders. Nothing worse than realizing someone is cheating in the game, especially other adults, such as they don't shake the dice properly, they just click them together and then do a piss-poor toss onto the board. This happens most likely when they're close to getting the pot, thus before the game even starts, we have to outline our demands of rolling. Shouldn't have to tell people that but geez...it's just a board game, the cheating isn't necessary :/ The excuse of people rolling differently doesn't fly with us either. Do that in a casino and you'd be thrown out and we've had to end games early due to not so savory players. Oh, and Dan, I LOVE the green pieces! Give 'em to me, I'll take them. I just don't feel right if I don't have them in my possession for a game. Yes, people do pass them up quite a bit...but that moment when they do land on those hotels is just epic. I'd have to change my strategy if I played with more people but it works against my siblings and I.
DominoPivot dude, he said that he hates the green color (his opinion np) but the green color is op, when I was playing with my cousins, they kept landing on the green color soo many times and I made a lot of money ( coz I made 3 houses on each site even tho I used a lot of money)
6:07 Careful what you're saying there. You don't go "straight to hotels" unless you have the 4 houses. You must be able to get to 4 based on building inventory. Also building evenly is a factor in this. I had someone foolishly insistently argue against this point.
Yes, the inability to go "straight to hotels" during a housing shortage is a logical consequence of the rules that is commonly never learned or forgotten. For those who want to check, here is a link to the "rules as written": www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/monins.pdf (in the "Houses" and "Hotels" sections). You can try to prevent someone from hoarding all the houses by expressing a wish to buy house(s) for yourself at the same time as your opponent, which triggers an auction for each house (see the "Building Shortages" section).
I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to jump right to hotels when all the houses are in play. You need to actually be able to put them on the board to get a hotel.
Yes, that is why it is Stated on the Deed Card $###, plus 4 Houses. Also you need to Build evenly, so you need 4 on Each Property to trade in 1 for Hotel
If you play the game correctly by the rules, doing so will lead to a hotel lock. When all of the houses are consumed, there is a housing shortage, and if you build hotels you can't sell them unless there are 4 houses in the bank. You build brick by brick, you sell them to the bank brick by brick/house by house.
*Facepalm* He implied that you already have 4 houses on a property by that point. Get smart, people. Read between the lines or just pay attention to what he said previously.
Here's the best Strategy, you play the drinking game. Addendum 1. When a player lands on Go, they take a shot glass worth of beer or cider. Addendum 2. When a player lands on Chance they take a shot glass worth of wine, whiskey or rum. Addendum 3. When a player lands on Free Parking they take a shot glass worth of Vodka, or Akkevit. Addendum 4. When a player lands on go to jail, they take a glass of water. Addendum 5. When a player lands on Board Walk, they take a shot of Stroh 80. Addendum 6. Each time you pay rent to someone else or land on a tax square you take a glass of water. Addendum 7. If a person has drunk 20 glasses of water they lose. Addendum 8. If a person has drunk 5 shots of Stroh 80 they ignore Addendum 7. Addendum 9. If a person has drunk 5 shots of alcohol in a row they must drink a glass of water.
I use the housing trick and late game jail stay all the time, but never thought about the whole right side of the board as a wasteland, but you're right. I hate green property and always felt like blue was overpriced for what you get. Orange was always my favorite though.
I just realised that the property names are different everywhere in the world. In Australia and uk it’s got places in England such as Mayfair and oxford st ect but in America there are places like boardwalk. That’s interesting and kinda stupid of me for not realising earlier
Wow. I was at awe at your knowledge of the game. Most videos on YT about monopoly are utter crap. But you sir, you have studied the game. I personally was taught how to play the game by Tim Vandenburg, he once got second in a national monopoly tournament, and i beat ken koury, who got third in a national monopoly tournament ( mostly by luck and using his techniques from his book, Monopoly Strategies, against him.) but anyways, all i wanted to say is that i believe you did the world good by giving out good advice abiut a great game
6:07 "If there are not enough houses in the Bank for a player to build four houses on each property before building a hotel, the player may not skip directly to buying a hotel by paying the full price at one go."
The key to Monopoly is the housing shortage, managing houses. If you play the game correctly as it was intended to be played, the light blue and the brown properties play a significant role managing the houses cheaply.
yep. also gives you an advantage if you can use up all the houses and your opponent has to sell a hotel to make rent. They have to sell ALL the houses and hotels then.
Hahaha. Love these tips. My friends and I made our own changes - we added a second board, doubled income and super tax, tripled jail fees and made it you can't collect in jail, then added mini gambling games (rolling dice vs a player, highest amount wins). Generally takes 3 hours to finish 😂
Thanks for this video, it had never occurred time that different parts of the board had different probabilities of being landed on because of jail etc :)
The original game had simpler rules. Every player starts with $1 500. Players who land on an unowned property must either buy it or put it on auction. There are no bonuses for landing on Free Parking, Go, or any other space. And there are a finite number of houses and hotels. With these rules, the game will not last for a long time.
John Stuart still the same great game with same great rules. Has not changed since about the 70's when some small rule items were changed like the cost of luxury tax and the option to pay 200 or 10% on the other tax space.
Soviet Stuff whomever you were facing was not playing very smart. I went up against 4 other people one of which had 2 hotels on those. And I still whooped their butt. Why? Those two spaces or statistically some of the least landed upon and also they are crazy expensive to build on. I just stuck to my cheap oranges and pinks collecting anywhere from 500-900 anytime someone passed that area, and that quickly bled the one person who maxed out the blues who had no money afterwords and needed to settle for selling off those hotels and eventually go bankrupt by me.
God bless you sir, somebody finally making sense. All those monopoly corporate strategies don’t mean nuthin. If your opponent lands on boardwalk/ park place.......CHECKMATE
The green properties are great if there are more than three players. More people rolling the dice means more chances for one of them to land on one of those expensive properties. With just two opponents the odds that both will dodge them are too high to make those properties worthwhile, but three or more opponents gives high enough odds that at least one will get caught to make them a strong choice to develop.
Koala Dude I’m ALWAYS the first one to get out. No exceptions. I always lose due to bad luck, so I have absolutely no chance. I watched this vid because the person who I was up against said it was that I was doing bad in strategies. I got all of the orange ones, boardwalk, and a few others. The strategy they said was the best was to get the cheapest ones first and work up. I don’t get how that works at all. If someone gets jail, they skip those first ones completely
I'm excited throughout the video. I play regularly with my friends but I survived like only twice. Now I know what I should do first and what I shouldn't.
Tbh he undervalues the greens, they still get landed on a lot even with the go to jail space. They are only about 2 or 3 rolls away from jail, and you have to land directly on the go to jail space which is pretty hard to do.

Sounds like I've always had the proper early game strategy, right down to the mortgaging to buy more properties. Unfortunately, my insatiable need to have Park Place AND Boardwalk always gets me in the end. I once traded all of my money for Boardwalk to my then-boyfriend (who didn't realize mortgaging properties was a thing and got really mad that I didn't go bankrupt because he thought he was being clever and he rage quit the game). THESE STRATEGIES ARE SO USEFUL I NEVER KNEW THIS SHIT AND MONOPOLY IS MY FAVORITE GAME. THANK YOU DAN BROWN. Also no one will play Monopoly with me and it makes me sad. But apparently you and Jenna Marbles both like it. We should all play together.
+Jess Wagstrom That's funny, I use the opposite strategy. I'll try and get the light blues and purples on the bottom, even trading away greens to get the blues; then buy 20 houses (cause they are so cheap). Then it is difficult for people with the expensive monopolies to get to that three house bump, and I can bleed them down over time.
+Michael K Yeah, my friend always went for the reds and the light blues and he always won the game while I got Park Place and Boardwalk and ended up flat broke, go figure. ;)
+Jess Wagstrom Same strat. Get the light blues asap, mortgage everything and then jack it up. I like the light blues, purple, pink the most cuz most ppl imo land on those 3 colors
I must admit I do enjoy when I've bought up most of the houses at $50 per, then the other players realize they can't make bank with their higher value property because there aren't enough houses left. They try to at least put them all on one property, until I point out they have to be evenly distributed. One error in the video, you can't buy a hotel direct; you have to have four housed before you can do that: once again validating the buy up the houses for cheap strategy.
There is a one more strategy to deal with players who are reluctant to trade. Just buy properties of different colours,specially those whose your opponent is building on. Then in the late stage, trade with them on high prices
there's this new girl who acts like a businesswoman and keeps winning so the look on her face when she landed on my Boardwalk with a hotel and went bankrupt was precious
I've played this way too many times and my family has never gotten to the point of getting more than 1 or 2 color sets as a whole and it's just a never ending loop
Good tips, but you didn't mention how to make good trades which can be crucial to winning. My rule of thumb: is to never trade with someone else if you allow them to get a full set and have money to put houses on it. Unless you will also be in that position.
If you play the game correctly the first side of the board, the light blues and brown properties, are great for managing the houses. While the brown properties won't bankrupt many people, with two properties it doesn't cost much to consume 8 of the houses cheaply denying others the ability to buy more houses for their properties...
In Germany everybody plays Monopoly with the rule: you cant buy houses and dont get Rent while in prison. I think this is a good rule. More risk for everybody

The winners were always laughing their assess of while the 3 losers were pissed off. We ended up getting insanely good at the game though and now whenever I play with other people I end up winning pretty easily.. most of the time anyway
Abdullah Craft I normally bid higher than I would usually do in the red and orange and trade with them more to try and get those colours as they are very popular.
i get atleast one from red, yellow and orange (and never trade them) and then grab all greens easily because noone wants them. game lasts longer that way but its a guaranteed win
Hearing your voice was so nostolgic for me and I spent the entire video wondering why, and how I’ve heard your voice before, and it wasn’t until the very end that I saw your Rubix cube solve video and everything made sense as I spent hours with my dad in 2009 or 2010 watching your video learning how to solve it which I still use your algorithms you taught me to solve it. I even have a video on my channel of solving my rubix cube in under a minute using your method!
A strategy that I saw online a few years ago and until now, still use and win with is getting the properties that are after Go and before Free Parking. From Brown/Purple to Orange. Most likely, players will step on those areas, and if you built them up to hotel level, you'd earn a good amount in return. Of course this strategy has holes in it, but I find it very effective when I play.
First time in ages that I found my self on one of your videos. Loved it! I’ve spent so much time thinking about monopoly strategy in the past, excellent breakdown.
A lot of people who don't like monopoly, don't follow the true rules, and like you said, inject a bunch of money into the game artificially making it last longer. Having an auction when denying to buy the property, trading, and just following the rules on free parking being a "safe space" not free money and you'll have a much better time
GodzillaFreak how does thr game not end even if all the colours have no houses, the money limit still means that you will go bankrupt if you land on a few undeveloped colours in around 2-3 turns of the board
My family and friends love long games of monopoly. For example we have always played on New Year’s Eve and start st 7pm and continue often until 2-6am. We have the typical rule additions of putting the money from chance and community chess cards into free parking so you can suddenly get a huge cash bump or nothing depending on luck of the roll and you can’t earn rent while in jail so you really want to leave as soon as possible just in case you miss rent. Also, I have found the brown set to be one of the best sets in the game. It’s extremely cheap to build on and near useless in early game but can be ruining to players in late game. People laugh off paying rent on them at first but when they are gasping to pass go in late game only to land on hotels immediately after and have to fork it all over you can make a pretty penny. They trade for nothing if you are sly and can be built up instantly.
That’s why I now sell the green properties when I get below 0 cash, Boardwalk & Park Place I keep because 30-40% of the time they get GAME OVER on the blue properties. Your right, the green colors are bullsh*t because only 0-2 times people land on the green properties, mostly none. Liked the vid!

Your current profile pic checks out with your comment
Tofu Kingpin Worth it
LMAO best comment
At that point, did you really win.
Put 4 houses on everything you can, prevents others from buying hotels because there aren’t enough houses in the game
But then you could get wiped out with the assessment card(Community Chest's card is worse than the chance one-C.C. charges $40 per house compared to Chance's $25/house) If you have three groups each with 12 houses-That's 36 X 25=900 from the Chance card and 36 X 40=1,440 from Community Chest-That's gonna leave a mark!
Nancy O'Malley sure but you are also the only one collecting any significant rent. You could just mortgage everything else.
Nancy O'Malley that card only comes up twice a game your chances are lower worrying about that
Also I am pretty sure the max amount of houses is 32 not 36.
True
when I play with my friends, no one wants to trade and later they complain that the game is taking too long

...Why didn't you pull out the rules and show them?
You're correct. To get to a hotel you have to have enough houses available to trade them in for the hotel. It also works the other way. If there aren't any houses left and you have to sell a hotel to make rent, you have to sell them ALL (houses and hotels). Housing shortages are a strategy.
Stelios Aek rules are in the box. Sucks to play against people who don't read
Goose McBruce I did that, the family got so pissed it was hilarious, its just a game
Actually if there are no houses left you must buy 3 hotels to build therefore you have the pay the cost of 15 houses to the bank which is very difficult especially on the expensive properties.

Tell me about it. Everytime I play with my cousin I lose. I've never seen a luckyer person when it comes to this game. He NEVER lands on my properties and I ALWAYS land on his. It's ridiculous. I had 3/4 of the map one time and I still lost🙄
@@mrshade810 That's because you are Doubty Doubtson.
Daniel David. I can relate
@@mrshade810 I once had developed properties on pink, orange, red, and dark blue and lost against an undeveloped player ;-;
great tips. i didnt even realize that about the green properties vs the orange ones.
Tbh he undervalues the greens, they still get landed on a lot even with the go to jail space. They are only about 2 or 3 rolls away from jail, and you have to land directly on the go to jail space which is pretty hard to do.
Example:
Roll a 7: Community Chest ($10)
Roll a 6: Indiana (pay $250)
Roll an 8: Pacific Avenue (pay $1100).

I actually thought of those midgame strats after the first couple times of playing this game, but only the positives. I realized that people going to jail was really beneficial for me if I owned the properties of the following square. However, you left out how good Railroads can be. They are a diverse property, meaning that wherever people are, they can land on a railroad next. Also, I believe that there are 2 cards that send you to a railroad, and make the person pay you TWICE as much. Also, it's a property that grows in benefit without having to invest money in it. You just have to buy more railroads.
Definetly the best Cash Flow if you have 3/4, you can literally financiate everything with them (assuming you follow the 3 houses strat and you prioritize the first half of the board)
In the Mega Edition you can buy train depot's to double the rent. It only gets doubled for that space though. Afaik the doubling stacks with the chance card "advance to nearest railroad" card. That chance card doubles rent already. Maybe quadruple rent if you are lucky?
I think another reason that games get extended is a way to prevent late game strategy you brought up. Many people I've played with have house rules whereby if the bank runs out of houses, you just cut out little green squares of cardboard and use them. This kills that strategy of limiting opponent's houses. And that's one of those house rules that people wont give up. Like, my grandparents will enforce the house rule of "unlimited houses" to make it "fair" for the younger grandkids.
Additionally, I believe the box has "Ages 8+" written on it, and while it's not a game that's violent or sexual or otherwise bad for people under 13, I've never played a game with a cousin under the age of 13 that didn't end in that person crying when they started to lose during the mid-game. Then the grandparents take pity on the kid and give out large, interest free loans, and sometimes implement a taxation system in the game to help the younger player, but it also massively extends the game, and antagonises older players. The reason it ends when a player goes broke is because it's a game that was originally designed by Georgists to demonstrate the ways that renting creates a system that rewards landlords and impoverishes tenants. If you're old enough to realise that the game is designed to do this, you're able to play the real rules without consequence, but when parents and grandparents insist that young kids be "treated fairly" inside a system that is literally designed to be unfair, this creates house rules that extends the game and gives it a bad rap.
Things I have learned today by writing this comment:
- playing monopoly with a 10 year old cousin and your capitalist grandparents is a good way to make your grandparents realise that as soon as they actually care about a poor person who is being screwed by the system, they'll turn into socialists.
The first point you brought up is legit, the rest is highly circumstantial haha But you're absolutely right with the houses. I've even seen people combine copies of the game for extra pieces. Typical Americans, lets make our own rules instead of reading the actual rules haha
Cameron Barlin If you love socialism so much go move to Venezuela and see where that takes you! Otherwise keep politics out of Monopoly!
AdamOS Retro I am American and do follow the rules as written out!
He simply stated the history of the game, it's not his fault that the game has a political history. Why are you so easily offended?
hey, theres this thing called a joke! lmao

@@livedandletdie he was here in like 2006? Damn
Tip: be unpredictable. I'm not talking about during games, but if you play games with the same people then it's best to switch up your strategy. For example, if you've played 3 games with the same people then they're probably going to catch onto your strategy and attempt to steal it for themselves. Use this to your advantage, as you can try to counter-attack your own strategy. This can be difficult, so it's best to just switch up your playing-style every few games so they don't catch on. I call it playing incognito.
To get our family to play Monopoly, we had to put a time limit of 1 hour on the game. People quit when it goes for hours on end. One hour seemed to be a good length for the game. Everyone totals their cash on hand, the purchase price of the properties, and the amount for rent, which would reflect the improvements that were done.
I play it on a Turn Basis. We play for about 20-30 Turns. After the number of turns end, we collect our rent one last time. The player with the most cash wins.
I also have defended Monopoly against the "it's too long" comment. The most often forgotten rule, which is key to making the game quick and fun, is that when someone lands on a property, they can either buy it or start an auction in which they themselves can participate. This means that all properties are sold after a couple turns. For some reason, very few people around where I live know that's how monopoly is played.
However, Monopoly is also a hated game for a few other reasons: it has luck, and even if it's a game of calculated risks, sometimes you just can't stop landing on the tax tile and drawing bad cards. But more than anything, a bad player can win due to a horrible player's mistakes. When it is obvious that a player is loosing, they might give up. In that case, whoever they were supposed to pay at that moment now owns everything that player had. And when players just give up instead of trying to make deals, they often give a lot. And when a player loses, they can't play anymore. A game with too much luck and where players can be eliminated, that's a deal breaker in parties.
This is why monopoly is nice against a single player or a machine. The only problem is that I found all the flaws in my PSP game's AI so I win every time in about 10 minutes.
Oh my, I managed to make an argument about a light subject x)
+DominoPivot I don't think the not buying property has such a bad effect as "I'll pay you when I have the money" a person can go in dept to other players in the thousands without ever finishing the game.
+DominoPivot All of my friends argue that it's too aggressive and it always ends up in a fight or an argument. Which only seems to happen when you take the game waaaaaaaaaay too seriously.
Haha, you're quite right about the giving up and giving a lot thing. When I play, I know you are supposed to auction the pieces but I don't. It's more out of niceness or something. I mainly have only played with my two siblings and that is very likely why we don't use that rule. We DO, however, play with house rules but it has been proven for us to make things go faster than without it. You can build houses and hotels faster and force people out of the game.
The two rules we have are, yes, you do get at least $500 (using the old currency in Monopoly) when you land on Free Parking. Additionally, there is a pot. All money usually owed to the bank when you draw Community Chest, Chance, or owe taxes goes into the pot, though if a card says to pay a player, you pay that player. Thus, including the initial $500, you get all of that money. The hilarity of how often one of us gets the pot in some games (without cheating!! We've all become very hawk-eyed at watching for cheaters) is priceless :) This said, these rules do make it hard to play with outsiders. Nothing worse than realizing someone is cheating in the game, especially other adults, such as they don't shake the dice properly, they just click them together and then do a piss-poor toss onto the board. This happens most likely when they're close to getting the pot, thus before the game even starts, we have to outline our demands of rolling. Shouldn't have to tell people that but geez...it's just a board game, the cheating isn't necessary :/ The excuse of people rolling differently doesn't fly with us either. Do that in a casino and you'd be thrown out and we've had to end games early due to not so savory players.
Oh, and Dan, I LOVE the green pieces! Give 'em to me, I'll take them. I just don't feel right if I don't have them in my possession for a game. Yes, people do pass them up quite a bit...but that moment when they do land on those hotels is just epic. I'd have to change my strategy if I played with more people but it works against my siblings and I.
+DominoPivot sadly it is true
DominoPivot dude, he said that he hates the green color (his opinion np) but the green color is op, when I was playing with my cousins, they kept landing on the green color soo many times and I made a lot of money ( coz I made 3 houses on each site even tho I used a lot of money)
6:07 Careful what you're saying there. You don't go "straight to hotels" unless you have the 4 houses. You must be able to get to 4 based on building inventory.
Also building evenly is a factor in this. I had someone foolishly insistently argue against this point.
6:09 Is a better jump
Do people just lose the rules? They are online even. People are dumb but oh well play how you want I guess
Yes, the inability to go "straight to hotels" during a housing shortage is a logical consequence of the rules that is commonly never learned or forgotten. For those who want to check, here is a link to the "rules as written": www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/monins.pdf (in the "Houses" and "Hotels" sections). You can try to prevent someone from hoarding all the houses by expressing a wish to buy house(s) for yourself at the same time as your opponent, which triggers an auction for each house (see the "Building Shortages" section).
@@Thanar2 thats cool I didnt know you could do that.
I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to jump right to hotels when all the houses are in play. You need to actually be able to put them on the board to get a hotel.
Yes, that is why it is Stated on the Deed Card $###, plus 4 Houses. Also you need to Build evenly, so you need 4 on Each Property to trade in 1 for Hotel
Jonathan Partridge what if you buy all the houses at the same time, then get the hotel?
If you play the game correctly by the rules, doing so will lead to a hotel lock. When all of the houses are consumed, there is a housing shortage, and if you build hotels you can't sell them unless there are 4 houses in the bank. You build brick by brick, you sell them to the bank brick by brick/house by house.
Ron Clark I am glad to see someone else who knows how this truly works. =)
*Facepalm* He implied that you already have 4 houses on a property by that point. Get smart, people. Read between the lines or just pay attention to what he said previously.

Ok fine RUclips I’ll watch this, now stop recommending it to me!
Worth the watch.
Here's the best Strategy, you play the drinking game.
Addendum 1. When a player lands on Go, they take a shot glass worth of beer or cider.
Addendum 2. When a player lands on Chance they take a shot glass worth of wine, whiskey or rum.
Addendum 3. When a player lands on Free Parking they take a shot glass worth of Vodka, or Akkevit.
Addendum 4. When a player lands on go to jail, they take a glass of water.
Addendum 5. When a player lands on Board Walk, they take a shot of Stroh 80.
Addendum 6. Each time you pay rent to someone else or land on a tax square you take a glass of water.
Addendum 7. If a person has drunk 20 glasses of water they lose.
Addendum 8. If a person has drunk 5 shots of Stroh 80 they ignore Addendum 7.
Addendum 9. If a person has drunk 5 shots of alcohol in a row they must drink a glass of water.
The Major haha I’m 9 I’m gonna do this
Sound like a fun game for New year's Eve. Gonna try next year (2 days before that would be kinda hard to organize it)
Addendum 10. Get in your car and drive to your grandmas house hammered. If you live enjoy jail irl for a LONG time
You sound like jimmy neutrons dad
rachael white wuss poppin jimbo
No not really.
rachael white lol wtf i cant stop thinking this

I use the housing trick and late game jail stay all the time, but never thought about the whole right side of the board as a wasteland, but you're right. I hate green property and always felt like blue was overpriced for what you get. Orange was always my favorite though.
When u run out of houses my family just gets more from are other 4 boards
Technically there are only 32 houses and 12 hotels. When you have a limited amount of houses and hotels, the game becomes more intense.
My parents usually don’t play Monopoly with me and my siblings always invent their own rules ;-;
I just realised that the property names are different everywhere in the world. In Australia and uk it’s got places in England such as Mayfair and oxford st ect but in America there are places like boardwalk. That’s interesting and kinda stupid of me for not realising earlier
In south Africa I saw a location called table mountain on monopoly
For some odd reason when I play Monopoly with my sister, she always owns her side of the board and I own my side
O.C.D.?
Noah Young For two players, the strategy becomes really different. You should go for two colors and only those two
Noah Young lmao my brother and my dad does that but mine is splattered
James Lentz not even close.
Wow. I was at awe at your knowledge of the game. Most videos on YT about monopoly are utter crap. But you sir, you have studied the game. I personally was taught how to play the game by Tim Vandenburg, he once got second in a national monopoly tournament, and i beat ken koury, who got third in a national monopoly tournament ( mostly by luck and using his techniques from his book, Monopoly Strategies, against him.) but anyways, all i wanted to say is that i believe you did the world good by giving out good advice abiut a great game
6:07 "If there are not enough houses in the Bank for a player to build four houses on each property before building a hotel, the player may not skip directly to buying a hotel by paying the full price at one go."
The key to Monopoly is the housing shortage, managing houses. If you play the game correctly as it was intended to be played, the light blue and the brown properties play a significant role managing the houses cheaply.
Ron Clark
Exactly
yep. also gives you an advantage if you can use up all the houses and your opponent has to sell a hotel to make rent. They have to sell ALL the houses and hotels then.
By that he implied that you already have 4 houses in a property. Get smart.
Finally someone else who sees the true value of the light blue! the great house sponge! I would appreciate playing a game against you.

Don't bother with pink because it's way too close to jail and most of the time the people coming out of jail will roll higher and go past it

Holy WOW I thought he was going to morph into a gobbling Turkey or squacking Chicken.
Miss you Dan.
Thanks for this video, it had never occurred time that different parts of the board had different probabilities of being landed on because of jail etc :)
The original game had simpler rules. Every player starts with $1 500. Players who land on an unowned property must either buy it or put it on auction. There are no bonuses for landing on Free Parking, Go, or any other space. And there are a finite number of houses and hotels. With these rules, the game will not last for a long time.
Thats what the man just said in the beginning.
bitch these rules still take 1 to 2 hours
John Stuart the rules are there however you want them to be.
on the computer versions, you can customize the rules.
John Stuart still the same great game with same great rules. Has not changed since about the 70's when some small rule items were changed like the cost of luxury tax and the option to pay 200 or 10% on the other tax space.
the 10% tax rule would take the longest part of the game. Who can be bothered figuring out 10$?
i won a game with parkplace and board walk #hotels OP
Soviet Stuff whomever you were facing was not playing very smart. I went up against 4 other people one of which had 2 hotels on those. And I still whooped their butt.
Why?
Those two spaces or statistically some of the least landed upon and also they are crazy expensive to build on.
I just stuck to my cheap oranges and pinks collecting anywhere from 500-900 anytime someone passed that area, and that quickly bled the one person who maxed out the blues who had no money afterwords and needed to settle for selling off those hotels and eventually go bankrupt by me.
In soviet Russia- hotel pays you!
God bless you sir, somebody finally making sense. All those monopoly corporate strategies don’t mean nuthin.
If your opponent lands on boardwalk/ park place.......CHECKMATE
@@Koubles And what happens when you get unlucky and land on boardwalk with a hotel? You lose. It is a game of skill and luck
YES!
The green properties are great if there are more than three players. More people rolling the dice means more chances for one of them to land on one of those expensive properties. With just two opponents the odds that both will dodge them are too high to make those properties worthwhile, but three or more opponents gives high enough odds that at least one will get caught to make them a strong choice to develop.
Miss you Dan you taught me how to solve a Rubiks cube and I always tune back to your video on it every few years we miss you

Koala Dude I’m ALWAYS the first one to get out. No exceptions. I always lose due to bad luck, so I have absolutely no chance. I watched this vid because the person who I was up against said it was that I was doing bad in strategies. I got all of the orange ones, boardwalk, and a few others. The strategy they said was the best was to get the cheapest ones first and work up. I don’t get how that works at all. If someone gets jail, they skip those first ones completely

Sounds like I've always had the proper early game strategy, right down to the mortgaging to buy more properties. Unfortunately, my insatiable need to have Park Place AND Boardwalk always gets me in the end. I once traded all of my money for Boardwalk to my then-boyfriend (who didn't realize mortgaging properties was a thing and got really mad that I didn't go bankrupt because he thought he was being clever and he rage quit the game).
THESE STRATEGIES ARE SO USEFUL I NEVER KNEW THIS SHIT AND MONOPOLY IS MY FAVORITE GAME. THANK YOU DAN BROWN.
Also no one will play Monopoly with me and it makes me sad. But apparently you and Jenna Marbles both like it. We should all play together.
+Jess Wagstrom That's funny, I use the opposite strategy. I'll try and get the light blues and purples on the bottom, even trading away greens to get the blues; then buy 20 houses (cause they are so cheap). Then it is difficult for people with the expensive monopolies to get to that three house bump, and I can bleed them down over time.
+Michael K Yeah, my friend always went for the reds and the light blues and he always won the game while I got Park Place and Boardwalk and ended up flat broke, go figure. ;)
+Jess Wagstrom Same strat. Get the light blues asap, mortgage everything and then jack it up. I like the light blues, purple, pink the most cuz most ppl imo land on those 3 colors
I must admit I do enjoy when I've bought up most of the houses at $50 per, then the other players realize they can't make bank with their higher value property because there aren't enough houses left.
They try to at least put them all on one property, until I point out they have to be evenly distributed.
One error in the video, you can't buy a hotel direct; you have to have four housed before you can do that: once again validating the buy up the houses for cheap strategy.
+Michael K You can buy straight to hotel you just pay the price of 4 houses and then the hotel.
There is a one more strategy to deal with players who are reluctant to trade. Just buy properties of different colours,specially those whose your opponent is building on. Then in the late stage, trade with them on high prices
Also keep the game short by following the official rule that if someone lands on a space and doesn't buy it, it goes up for auction.
WHOEVER CAME FROM JACKSUCKSATLIFE👇🏾
I can’t help but think: “Wow, what a lesson on Monopoly by Warren Buffett.”
there's this new girl who acts like a businesswoman and keeps winning so the look on her face when she landed on my Boardwalk with a hotel and went bankrupt was precious
I've played this way too many times and my family has never gotten to the point of getting more than 1 or 2 color sets as a whole and it's just a never ending loop
Good tips, but you didn't mention how to make good trades which can be crucial to winning. My rule of thumb: is to never trade with someone else if you allow them to get a full set and have money to put houses on it. Unless you will also be in that position.
You're not the Dan Brown I was looking for...

If you play the game correctly the first side of the board, the light blues and brown properties, are great for managing the houses. While the brown properties won't bankrupt many people, with two properties it doesn't cost much to consume 8 of the houses cheaply denying others the ability to buy more houses for their properties...
In Germany everybody plays Monopoly with the rule: you cant buy houses and dont get Rent while in prison. I think this is a good rule. More risk for everybody

I even have a video on my channel of solving my rubix cube in under a minute using your method!
A strategy that I saw online a few years ago and until now, still use and win with is getting the properties that are after Go and before Free Parking. From Brown/Purple to Orange. Most likely, players will step on those areas, and if you built them up to hotel level, you'd earn a good amount in return. Of course this strategy has holes in it, but I find it very effective when I play.
I just installed Monopoly. I think RUclips is spying on me for giving me this recommendation
Akiro Daiki Me too. Let’s play a game.
@@alexreid2393 howww
Yeah me and my family just played monopoly for the first time in years. Around 10 minutes after we finished this popped up in my recommendeds
I havent played Monopoly in years
Dude I just played monopoly and used these strats and actually won.
First time in ages that I found my self on one of your videos. Loved it! I’ve spent so much time thinking about monopoly strategy in the past, excellent breakdown.
A lot of people who don't like monopoly, don't follow the true rules, and like you said, inject a bunch of money into the game artificially making it last longer. Having an auction when denying to buy the property, trading, and just following the rules on free parking being a "safe space" not free money and you'll have a much better time
I love when monopoly takes long idk bout you guys 💀😂
whenever I play no one ever gets a colour group and the game CANNOT end
GodzillaFreak how does thr game not end even if all the colours have no houses, the money limit still means that you will go bankrupt if you land on a few undeveloped colours in around 2-3 turns of the board
ZanderCross but because of the 200 at go every time, and the fact that both players make money, the net amount increases
@@LawfullSpook You're so dumb.
Dude what happened to your channel
I was wondering the same thing I was reading through some comments, but all of his videos are suddenly gone
My family and friends love long games of monopoly. For example we have always played on New Year’s Eve and start st 7pm and continue often until 2-6am. We have the typical rule additions of putting the money from chance and community chess cards into free parking so you can suddenly get a huge cash bump or nothing depending on luck of the roll and you can’t earn rent while in jail so you really want to leave as soon as possible just in case you miss rent.
Also, I have found the brown set to be one of the best sets in the game. It’s extremely cheap to build on and near useless in early game but can be ruining to players in late game. People laugh off paying rent on them at first but when they are gasping to pass go in late game only to land on hotels immediately after and have to fork it all over you can make a pretty penny. They trade for nothing if you are sly and can be built up instantly.
That’s why I now sell the green properties when I get below 0 cash, Boardwalk & Park Place I keep because 30-40% of the time they get GAME OVER on the blue properties. Your right, the green colors are bullsh*t because only 0-2 times people land on the green properties, mostly none. Liked the vid!
