r/monopoly

I’ve enjoyed playing the online marmalade Monopoly game for months now but lately seems like every other game or so a player losing will sell a bunch of properties for $1 and ruin the game for everybody

Why in the hell do people do this? What is in it for them? I get it if you have no shot to win and you duck out and let the bot take over. But why ruin it for the others? To the point where I’m losing interest in playing.

Also don’t know why marmalade can’t put some restrictions on crazy lopsided trades.

I'm designing my own version of Monopoly and I need some help. I've already finished the basic game board, but I still haven't made the money yet.

Could someone scan the banknotes from the original Monopoly game for me? Unfortunately, I don't own a copy of the game, and the images I find through search engines are all different.

Thanks in advance!

Hello there. I am looking for the following Transformers merchandise. 22 Property cards 16 Autobot Community chest cards 16 Decepticon standard chance cards Card decoder text reader. I need it to play the limited edition 2009 Transformers Monopoly board game. If there is a person kind enough to send clear photographs of the card details that will be very helpful.Thank you

I seem to lose everytime I play with my friends and family so i’m trying to get better

Just played two games with my gf to this bullshit game. I swear I have the worse luck or something but what are you supposed to do in these cases?

First game, my first turn, I go:

Luck(go to jail) -> paid 50 to leave and went to parking lot -> another 10 and went to jail -> left again and fell in her property -> another time parking lot -> another time luck. I don't remember more but that's already the first 6 turns that I couldn't do anything. Meanwhile she had like 5 properties already.

We finished the game because she got a colour group and like 14 or 15 mortaged properties. Meanwhile i didn't even use my 500 bills and only had like 4 properties.

Second game went similar, I counted at least 8 turns in a row where I couldn't buy anything. She had more than double my properties.

Idk if I'm just unlucky but this has always been my experience with this game. Obviously i buy everything when i can, but what's the point of the game if you don't fall into a property? Is there any rule for this?

I’ll even add special spaces/rules if need be.

Hello, my friends recently got me into Monopoly on the NES (Raspberry Pi) and I've been hooked. Growing up, I was never taught the auction rule which made games excruciatingly long. But now that I know how to actually play I love it. I bought the iOS version and it's pretty good too.

I'm looking into buying "New Monopoly" for the Switch so we can play locally like we do the NES version, but with a more modern take. My only hesitation is it seems to get pretty bad reviews across all platforms, particularly with AI and multiplayer bugs. Does anyone know if it has been patched up and runs ok for local games?

We also plan to play the physical board game, but wanted the option for digital.

Can Super Corruption cards be traded? I have the impression that only Corruption cards can be traded.

I have played multiple games on the Marmalade version where players "team up" and "trade" all of their things to one player for $1— so as to help them, and then that player inevitably wins. And these are players who are high level and I assume they play together consistently. It's extremely frustrating and there's no way to report, complain, or anything. What's the point of monopoly if you team up? I think I'm done playing with this app.

I’ve been playing the Marmalade app against bots for the past couple of weeks and the difficulty levels you can choose from do not seem to affect their stupidity level, it just makes them stupid in different ways.

At easy mode the bots will often accept ridiculous trades that are heavily beneficial to the player’s position, like offering St Charles ave for Boardwalk plus like M50 even if they don’t have any other pink properties. They’ll ALWAYS accept M75 for either of the two browns. They’ll will reject trades sometimes but it’s got to be so overwhelmingly out of balance that it’s just stupid.

At hard mode, you’d think they’d be less dumb but no, now they refuse the majority of trades. I had a situation recently where I had the oranges with 4 houses, one of the bots had no monopoly yet but I had the last of one color it needed to complete the (pink, I think) set. It also had Boardwalk. And it made an offer that was pretty even for a light blue I also owned. But at this stage of the game, I’m 99% to win, and fair trades aren’t anything I’m interested in. So I counter with pink for Boardwalk straight up. Bot comes back with its own counter offering the same trade +M343 from me. lol. Easy decline into a fairly quick win.

And in a recent game on hard mode on of the bots just would not entertain a trade, period, that didn’t weight gigantically in its favor.

I think maybe medium is the sweet spot for the bots…? They will sometimes trade. But easy and hard…idk I thought maybe the difficulty would affect dice rolls but it doesn’t seem to. The dice seem very randomized.

I need to know what the "creative zoning" card does because I no longer have it.
