Which property is best? State your reasons.

You can easily win Monopoly if you can land Connecticut, Vermont, and Oriental. Cheap hotels and higher probability of landing on one of the three. Guaranteed win if you get Mediterranean and Baltic.

unpopular choice.

Baltic or Mediterranean Avenue. Cheap AF, but you can invest in them early and break your opponents spirits when they land on those spots immediately after passing Go, thus negating their $200.

Yeah, maybe if no one else has a monopoly. Otherwise your handing money back and forth, but you lose a little each time.

This is a bad answer.

Orange and reds. Best bang for the buck and right in the roll zone out of jail.

Stay away from Park Place. There are hookers on the corner.

3 orange ones. Best cost to benefit monopoly in the game. Once you get 3 houses on those things it’s game over. Plus they are in the target of people coming out of jail.

that’s correct.
this strategy is negated though by the mouthbreathers who put 500 bucks in the center for landing on free parking.

Yeah I like that whole corner of red + orange. You get some lower middle class in the orange and some middle class in the red. I'm also a huge fan of locking down the railroads.

The railroads.

Poor S Jr. The lad still puts so much stock into boardwalk and park place. I eviscerate him every time.

Just wrecked some grown ups with PP and Boardwalk. Quick hack, if you own one of the Red, Orange, or whatever stupid combo y’all have come up with, they can’t build houses and hotels. Two houses on PP and Boardwalk, and it’s game over. They can’t survive. Key is to diversify but YES you buy the two most expensive if you can.

You buy every property you land on. It’s called monopoly for a reason

This is the correct answer. I didn’t ask which corner. Orange wins because Monopoly is a police state where everyone has multiple felonies and 6,8 and 9 are less than 12 (imagine owning a crack stand just outside the prison release gates). The purple are also in the prison release zone, but cost the same to build on and are less profitable. Red is 2/3 in the zone, but costs 10% more to buy, 50% more to build on, but are only 10% more profitable. Light blue is up there because it’s cheap to buy and build and can pay for hotels elsewhere. All other answers are too dumb to warrant a response.

In order it’s orange, purple, light blue, red.
