Books on monopoly™

 Orbanes, Philip, The Monopoly™ Companion, Sterling Publishing  Co., Inc., 2007, 213 pages


The Monopoly Companion presents a history of Monopoly's development, a review of the official rules, descriptions of the various properties, strategies for winning, suggestions for holding a Monopoly™ party (Including recipes), some Monopoly™ tournament history, and some rule variations.  The property descriptions include analyses of how much income each property is likely to generate, when using the official rules.  Among the more useful strategic suggestions (pages 112-126) are:


  • Track how much money each player has.
  • Although you should generally buy whatever properties you land on, circumstances at any particular time in the game will affect your decision.
  • The different color groups generally have different values; however, these will change as the game progresses.
  • Jail can be a useful hideout.
  • How you build your properties is critical to your strategy.
  • How to use a building shortage
