I always go for blue orange yellow. The cost of houses is the same on each row (I.e. pink and orange both costs 100 per house) but you get more income per house on the last colour of the row. Plus orange is just after jail.

Who used to fight over which piece you would use as a kid? I always wanted the car and it caused massive fights haha!

I always preferred light blue and orange.
Light blue are cheap to buy and build on but can sting someone for 600-650 with a hotel, to hotel the whole set costs only 1,070 including costs of properies. As they're cheap, you can build early without it really denting your bank balance. 2 hits and it's more than paid for, then build on orange

Well said. Love power grid.
That said if you have to ask such a question of which colour properties are best, you likely are not very good at the game. There really is no best. Unless you are the type that assumes Mayfair and Park Lane are best to get. Lol.
The game requires very little strategy, just buy one of each colour and then you are in control. Unless I have rotten luck with dice I always win doing this

Finally!
someone with sense, this combo never fails me, it might not pay out huge but i've always preferred a game of attrition, nothing more satisfying than seeing someone land on pall mall for the 8th time and flipping the board in frustration.Supplement this with a lone red and a yellow and you have the game pretty much sown up.

Go back to old Kent Road. Take a trip to Marylebone station. Advance to trafalgar square.
Advance to Mayfair

Brown, Orange and Green are the ones I usually go for.
Yep! Seems like a waste putting the money back in the bank.

You do realise putting the money into the middle and claiming it when landing on Free Parking lengthens the game considerably?
Just out of interest - who here has actually played the game properly as in to the exact rules including auctioning of properties?

Oh monopoly! Blues are a risky biscuit worth it when someone lands on one though! My play style however was to try and get full sets of one colour from each side of the board so basically 4 full sets if possible not including trains ect

Cos it is and always has been?
I got beaten the other week after I owned nearly most of the board except those two god darn blues. :/

They've got their own game, which actually sounds a bit like a game I have, Monopoly is a truly terrible game, any alternate version increases the fun.Doesn't that kind of remove the only tiny element of fun...as ultimately you aren't even actually playing the game

This, if you're goin to play a capitalist boardgame, at least make it an interesting one!What's Monopoly?
