You can make a lot of mistakes in monopoly that you may not even think of as mistakes. If you want to increase your chances of winning, don’t do the following.
1. Don’t be picky
Don’t be picky about what to buy and what not to buy, buy everything. Everything gives you more or less the same return on investment, so why not buy as much as you can and stop trying to find the best properties you can?
I’d rather have half the board than just a few good properties.
2. Do not refuse to negotiate
You may think that negotiating is just a way to help your opponent, and you’re right. But it also helps you. Trading as much as you can can be a great way to get an edge in the game, and considering the fact that monopoly allows you to trade on anything, get creative, make deals, auction off properties, etc.
Now you don’t have to accept every offer. Some may help your opponent more than they help you. If that’s the case, you can always walk away from him.
3. Don’t spend all your money
It’s best if you keep some money in reserve in case it lands on someone’s property. Don’t spend all your money on a big hotel unless you’re about to leave or get some money some other way.
Always keep money in reserve because you never want to start mortgaging your properties.
4. Don’t get discouraged at the end of the game
When it’s the end of the game and all the properties have been bought, don’t bail out of jail. You don’t want to land on someone else’s property and pay them. Be happy to be sitting and receiving money while everyone else pays you.
