A good basic strategy is to collect one complete color group at a time and improve the properties as soon as you can. Developing your properties is even more important if you are working with the cheaper groups. Shoot for building three houses on each property in a group before concentrating on the next.

LOCATION

Certain areas and certain properties are more valuable than others. Just like in real life, if you're thinking of buying a property, consider how much money you have to invest compared to the expected return on your investment.

BIDDING

Bidding can be a big part of the game. Keep your bids low or wait to enter the bidding until it seems to be winding down.

Don't let other players know how much you want a piece of property. Use psychology to your advantage. If you can convince other players that a property is worthless, it will be that much easier for you to acquire it.
