Have you ever actually finished a game of Monopoly? Didn’t think so. But, next time you want to put an end to the most feud-inducing board game of all time, try this strategy that someone on Reddit claims will lead to a guaranteed win:

-Don’t buy the utilities or railroad with the intent of completing the set, instead use them for trades with players who THINK they’re good at the game but really aren’t.

-Buy everything you can. Play by the official rules where if someone chooses not to buy, that property gets auctioned off to the highest bidder.

-They’re not the most expensive properties on the board, but try to buy up the orange & red properties. That is where most players land after getting out of jail.

-Put 4 houses on your full sets as quickly as possible, never a hotel. The rules state that once the houses in the box are gone, no one can get any more, therefore no one can build hotels.

Good luck!
