Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more!

Try and own the first row, as in all the shitty brown and blue ones. They are really cheap to do up, get hotels on then and you will be laughing, other than that make sure you dont stick to one place, keep some safe places out there. Thats how i win anyway.

That guy has it right. That's the surefire way to win. Also try to get the railroads. Possibly the waterworks, and electric company too, if you've got the money.

Common sense, but don't put hotels on your properties until at least half of the people are about to take turns where there's a chance they'll land on them. There's no sense in blowing all your cash on hotels and then being left with nothing to pay off rent or chance cards unless there's a good chance you'll be collecting right after you build.

Always buy the higher-end of a particular row; the houses cost the same but you get more return. Don't bother with the stations or utilities. Upgrade as soon and as often as you can.

Hes right. Fuck the utilities, the highest possible rent is $120 (10 times amt on dice, even if rolled 12 still just $120).

The railroads highest possible rent is $200, which is their board price, so fuck them too. Nearly EVERYONE lands on Conneticut, Oriental, and Vermont (The three light blues). Stick Hotels on them, as its almost impossible to go around the first block after GO without hitting at least one of them.

Also, Park Place and Boardwalk, which many discount as not enough people land on them, are actually a strategic property lot to own. When you approach those last squares before go, theres an excellent chance you'll hit one or the other, best to have YOU collecting that high-ass rent ($2000 for BW with Hotel!).

The three Green and Orange squares are great also. If you're using the Build Evenly rule, it means you have to put equal improvements on lots consecutively. Example: You own Baltic, St. Charles, and Pacific. If you put one house on Baltic, you can't go stick three on St. Charles, you have to put one there, then one on Pacific, THEN you can put two on St. Charles, as long as 2 goes on Pacific and Baltic (You get the idea...)

Try and buy many properties as early as you can without running out of money. Keep at least $300-$500 stashed in case you get a bad roll and land on somebodys property, this may save you from calling the Mortgage Man.

Hope you win. Don't be afraid to take exchanges or to auction off shitty property no one wants.... I've personally played games where something like Pennsylvania (normally $300 or more) went for $75!!
