Monopoly Party
Defeating the CPU:
------------------
Use the following trick to defeat the CPU with two to four players under the
hard difficulty setting. Go to "Custom Rules" and set the houses to 88 and
apartments to 22. Turn the jackpot on and set the Landing On Go bonus to
$400.00. Pick Land On Free Parking and set the jackpot to $750.00. Use the
classic view, as it is easier to see before choosing whichever board you
desire. When you start the game, buy only the properties you can get three
of and avoid the railroads and utilities. Do not bid top high on the
properties that you cannot get much money for. Never bid more money than
you have, as you do not want to mortgage properties. Try to get a set,
even if it means trading with the CPU or offering them money. Sometimes
you will have to offer them both. Once you get a set of two or three, put
houses on the cheapest house first, unless you have Boardwalk and Park Place,
so you can save money and eventually put up hotels on all your properties.
If you have many houses or hotels and get in jail, try to stay in there as
long as you can and collect your money. You can also stay in jail if the
CPU has many houses or hotels to remain on the safe side. Try to have at
least $100 to $200 or more to stay safe. Even if you have to wait to pass
Go or land on Free Parking, once you start getting sets and hotels on those
properties, try to get sets that are next to each other, or on an entire
side of the board.
