Monopoly Cheaters Edition: How to Make More Money

One of the Monopoly Cheaters Edition money rules is that the game has no banker. Instead of selecting one player to be the banker, the bank tray will be passed around so each player will have it directly in front of them when it’s their turn to play.

There are several ways to cheat to get more money in this game.

  • Bank Heist

Keep an eye out for sticky fingers because players are likely to try and get more money than they deserve from the tray when the tray is passed around. It is also beneficial for you to catch them if they decide to steal.

  • Pickpocket

The tray is not the only place you can help yourself with money that does not belong to you. Your neighbor is also another source of money in this game. If another player does not seem to know how to keep their money safe, you can get it without them knowing and make it your own. Just make sure someone else is not stealing yours as you do this and that you don’t get caught.

  • Collect an extra allowance.

So, everyone is watching their money, and no hands are getting to the bank—unless they have a legitimate reason to be there, like when you get to GO and need to collect your allowance. If you can get M300 instead of M200, who is to complain unless they catch you?

  • Get out of jail!

The Monopoly Cheaters edition includes a handcuff that ties an offending player’s hand and prevents them from playing until they pay the penalty or use a get-out-of-jail card. Go for it if you can get the handcuff off without anyone seeing it. You’ll be able to make more money than you otherwise would have.

  • Chance to Counterfeit

Have you got a Chance card? This is also the perfect chance to make more money. Ignore whatever it says, read it the way you want to your advantage, and go ahead and do it. Did someone read a card that sounded ridiculously generous to them? Demand to see if—they may be pulling the wool over your eyes.

  • Collect rent on other people’s property.

Also known as “Squatter’s Rule,” promptly demand rent on a property you know does not belong to you. Suppose neither the owner nor the renter finds out; then good for you. That’s more money for you right there.

  • Surprise demolition

So, someone is building houses or has a hotel to make sure you pay more every time you land on their property. If you can, remove that development quietly so that it is no longer a source of pain to you or anyone else. Less money out means more money in your pocket.

  • Overchange for rent

Someone has landed on your property, and they need to pay rent. If they are not aware of how much they should pay, you can decide to make more money from them and charge extra—your house, your rules, right? Keep the price up as long as you can.

  • Short change

You owe another player some money. Good opportunity to pay less. Secretly hand them less than you owe and keep the rest as profit for yourself. 

  • Steal a title deed

A title deed equals wealth. Instead of focusing solely on how to steal money, see if you can get your hands on a title deed card from the bank or another player. It will help you get rental income much faster.

  • Stay free

You do not have to pay if a landlord does not ask for rent. After all, it is their responsibility to collect all monies owed to them. You save some money by getting a free stay.

  • Unlicensed Construction

The last time you checked, you paid rent for only two houses on your neighbor’s property, or maybe there was no development. But now there is a hotel, and you need to pay more. Chances are they cheated you by placing a hotel they had not earned after stealing it from someone else or the bank- your loss, their gain.

Conclusion

Cheaters Monopoly is a thrilling variant that allows the standard Monopoly rules to be bent. However, to play it, you must have played the standard game of Monopoly, or else everyone else will take advantage of you. In this game, don’t simply disregard any rules; you just cunningly apply them.

You use the cheat cards, the community chest, and chance cards to determine when and how you can cheat. You cheat to buy a property and collect rent to get ahead. The trick cards found in the Community Chest and Chance cards allow you to send an opponent to jail for no reason, bribe judges, or even force opponents to collect less rent on their property. You can also benefit from catching your players cheating.
