Monopoly Tychoon Tactics
When I played this game for review I found that most often the tactic that always worked was to be very aggressive after the first or second auction.
At the first auction, the computer players would bid much higher than they should and end up paying top dollar for land that would be vacant for a while. If on turn two you have two bits of land you will only have two buildings total giving you four vacant lots. Paying top dollar for vacant lots is not a good option.
After the first auction or possibly second depending on how the computer players bid, you then need to buy every single property that can be built on. If its a train station or such, leave it for the computer players, otherwise buy Buy BUY!
You may go into debt and may need to skip a turn or so buying new properties but if you keep the computer players out of the market for long enough, they simply can't win. You also seem to easily make back your purchase price with good business selection.
When building businesses, I most often opt for two story buildings and always buy the same quality as the land but on the lower side if there is no direct conversion. I never build car sale yards and try to avoid restaurants. Newsstands are king so buy them if they are popular.
With these simple rules, I rarely find the computer players any trouble.
Anyone else found good tactics or small exploits to help you win?
Ryan.
