Monopoly Go explained: Best tips and tricks for new players

radiotimes.com:

Monopoly is a timeless game, one that has turned many family nights into chaos. Well, now that chaos can be experienced anywhere with Monopoly Go.

The Scopely-developed mobile game made its way to the market in April 2023, and has built quite the fan base — with upwards of 100 million downloads globally.

Players make their way across a traditional monopoly board while building their empires and taking down competitors.

There are 215 boards in Monopoly Go, beginning with New York City and ending with Jackpot Jungle. It will take quite some time to do that, with dice rolls being the key to progressing — however, these are limited.

So, if you are hoping to get one over on Rich Uncle Pennybags, it's worth taking a look at these beginner tips we've rounded up.

There are plenty of tips and tricks that will help you progress in Monopoly Go, but here are some of our favourites worth trying early on.

As soon as you can, start building your properties and upgrading them to the maximum tier. This will quickly push up your Net Worth, which in turn represents your progress level.

It's worth investing early as you unlock the Auto Roll feature at level eight, the sticker album at level 15 and the Daily Treats at level 25. All of these are great ways to maximise your benefits in Monopoly Go without having to spend a penny.

Once you've hit these targets, it's then better to save up all the cash and then upgrade all at once to avoid any Shutdowns that will lose you progress.

One of the biggest features of Monopoly Go in the Community Chest is locked until five friends are added. These can either be people you know or random players to get your hands on the feature. The game has an active Discord channel where players can connect.

Once done, the Community Chest's jackpot will increase every time you land on it. You then have the opportunity to play the Community Chest mini-game once per day with friends.

While caution is always recommended when playing games with in-game monetisation
