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.

[@Nemofishman]

Example: Roll a 7: Community Chest ($10) Roll a 6: Indiana (pay $250) Roll an 8: Pacific Avenue (pay $1100).

[@MrSafeTCam]

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.

[@AdamOSretro]

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.

[@aaronbell5994]

[@DominoPivot]

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)

[@DanielSultana]

+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.

[@jessherselfable]

+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.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

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.

[@zzzzzzz815]

+DominoPivot sadly it is true

[@uneazypolarb7691]

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)

[@zacherynicoson9890]

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.

[@geminix365]

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)

[@RationalFunction]

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?

[@Bill_Woo]

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.

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).

If you play the game correctly by the rules, doing so will lead to a hotel lock.

You build brick by brick, you sell them to the bank brick by brick/house by house.

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

[@bonf]

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."

[@ronclark9724]

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.

[@jerrytomas3136]

Ron Clark Exactly

[@frenat]

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.

[@asdergold1]

By that he implied that you already have 4 houses in a property. Get smart.

[@thulsakhan]

Finally someone else who sees the true value of the light blue! the great house sponge! I would appreciate playing a game against you.

[@josestirtabudi6247]

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 😂

[@freerangeeggs6442]

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

[@lizzief4461]

Technically there are only 32 houses and 12 hotels. When you have a limited amount of houses and hotels, the game becomes more intense.

[@BananaNeil]

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.

[@mindassassin]

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.

[@johnhope2772]

My dude why did you stop posting? :(

[@Supermario0727]

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.

[@jetnut89]

Thats what the man just said in the beginning.

[@victorwithaw700]

bitch these rules still take 1 to 2 hours

[@greatape5305]

John Stuart the rules are there however you want them to be. on the computer versions, you can customize the rules.

[@tuckerspeltz6423]

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.

[@emberguard5009]

the 10% tax rule would take the longest part of the game. Who can be bothered figuring out 10$?

[@Koubles]

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.

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

[@Head318Hunter]

3:30 The "Take a walk on the Boardwalk". Holy WOW I thought he was going to morph into a gobbling Turkey or squacking Chicken.

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.

[@jackmcbride1924]

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.

[@aminesaib]

The only problem with building four houses and not hotels is the "Make General Repairs On All Your Property " chance card. You'll be screwed lol.

[@timothychow177]

Another problem is when you do have hotels and then can't pay rent for example you owe $50 but then if you break hotel to 4 houses each but there is no more houses in the board game to go back to 4 houses you go from hotel to nothing. I explained a bit wordy but I hope that makes sense.

[@sneakydeekie5472]

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.

[@GeneLagrimasJr]

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.

[@Music-if1nv]

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

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...

[@ericmalmstrom9943]

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.

[@CookedYourGoose]

[@haywoodjablome7739]

Literally here to do the same and was disappointed to not find any :(

[@jessherselfable]

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.

[@mbk3357]

+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.

[@jessherselfable]

+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. ;)

[@Aipiox]

+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

[@mbk3357]

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.

[@zeektorgesen2997]

+Michael K You can buy straight to hotel you just pay the price of 4 houses and then the hotel.

[@legokingscastle501]
