MONOPOLY GO! HOW TO GET SHIELDS? TIPS AND STRATEGIES

  1. Understand the Rules: Make sure you fully understand the rules of Monopoly Go! and any unique features like “shields” in the game. Read the instruction manual or ask someone familiar with the game to explain them to you.
  2. Property Acquisition:
    • Focus on acquiring complete color sets to increase your chances of building houses and hotels.
    • Prioritize high-traffic areas on the board, such as those near “Go” or “Jail.”
    • Don’t overextend yourself by buying too many properties early in the game. You need to have enough cash to invest in improvements.
  3. Property Improvement:
    • Once you have a complete color set, invest in houses and eventually hotels. This significantly increases your rent income.
    • Develop evenly across your property sets to maximize your overall rent income.
  4. Trading and Negotiation:
    • Be open to trading properties with other players to complete your sets.
    • Negotiate favorable deals, but don’t give away your properties too cheaply.
  5. Cash Management:
    • Keep some cash reserves for unexpected expenses like rent, taxes, or Chance/Community Chest cards.
    • Avoid overextending yourself financially, as this can lead to bankruptcy.
  6. Jail Strategy:
    • Being in Jail can be advantageous, as you won’t land on opponents’ properties or draw negative cards. However, you can still collect rent from your properties.
    • Decide whether to pay to get out of Jail early in the game based on your financial situation and property holdings.
  7. Monopoly Cards:
    • Be aware of any special Monopoly Go! cards or actions that involve the “shields.” Use them strategically to your advantage.
  8. Observation and Adaptation:
    • Pay attention to your opponents’ strategies and financial situations. Adjust your own strategy accordingly.
    • Remember that Monopoly is a game of negotiation and adaptation, so be flexible in your approach.
  9. Timing and Patience:
    • Timing is crucial. Sometimes it’s better to wait for an opponent to land on your property with houses or hotels rather than selling them too soon.

  10. Risk Management:
    • Be cautious when considering mortgaging properties. It can provide immediate cash, but it limits your income potential.

Remember that Monopoly Go! may have unique rules and features, so always refer to the specific rules of the game you are playing. Adapt your strategies based on those rules and the dynamics of your specific game with your opponents. Good luck and have fun!
