So if you have a Monopoly and can block every single other Monopoly, your chance of losing quickly approaches zero (unless someone owns railroads and you have horrible, horrible rolling luck).Įven if you have Baltic and Mediterranean, you will very gradually bleed the other person dry… but it will be a long, slow, boring death.

Monopoly economics don’t equal real world economics. There’s no such thing as massive inflation in Monopoly, because the housing prices don’t go up when you flood the market with cash.

And I prefer it that way.Ī few years back, when I tore my ACL, my friends would come over and play quite a few board games. My average game lasts about a half hour - that’s all it takes to either win or lose massively. I don’t play three-hour games of Monopoly. Here’s the blitzkrieg strategy I use to win (or lose, but mostly win) as quickly as possible.
