The key feature of this "party" edition is the ability for four players to move around the board simultaneously instead of taking turns. Monopoly Party takes the popular real estate game and injects it with new rules, tokens, and properties.If you are in an auction, always go $1 higher than the highest bidder. If the CPU owns two of the three properties of a color, and there is an auction for the last, raise the stakes high. Early in the game, avoid jail to buy your properties. You can just sit there and bank in the cash. Late in the game, you will want to go to jail. If you own two different color sets and build houses, you will use twenty four houses just with them.

Try to have at least $100 to $200 or more to stay safe.
You can also stay in jail if the CPU has many houses or hotels to remain on the safe side. 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. 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.

Never bid more money than you have, as you do not want to mortgage properties. Do not bid top high on the properties that you cannot get much money for.
