Hey! Do you play Monopoly GO? It’s a really fun game. But when you’re just starting, it’s easy to mess up. I made mistakes too.

Here are 5 things that many new players do wrong. And I’ll show you how you can stop doing them. Let’s get started.

1. Buying Every Property You See

So you land on a space and go, “I’m gonna buy it!” That seems smart. But it’s not always the best choice.

What goes wrong:

If you buy everything, you lose all your money fast. Then, later when you really need it, you don’t have any left.

What you should do:

Try to buy colors you already have. Like if you have two red cards, try to get the third one. Don’t just buy random stuff.

2. Trading Without Thinking

Trading is fun. But if you just trade for no reason, that can be a big problem.

Why it’s bad:

You might help the other player win. You could give them a card they need to complete their set. Then they make you pay a lot of rent.

How to trade better:

Only trade if it helps you too. If someone gives you a card you really need, then it’s a good deal. Look at your board before you say yes.

3. Forgetting About Stickers

Stickers look like just a fun extra. But they’re more important than they look.

What happens if you ignore them:

You miss out on cool rewards like dice and money. That’s not good.

What to do:

Open sticker packs when you get them. If you have friends playing, trade stickers with them. Try to finish your sticker book. You get prizes when you do.

4. Rolling Dice Too Much

Rolling the dice is fun. But if you keep rolling for no reason, that’s not a smart move.

Why it’s bad:
You use up all your dice just for small rewards. Then, when there’s a big event, you have none left to play.

The smart way:
Save your dice. Wait for events that give better prizes. Then roll more. That way, you get the most rewards.

5. Not Using Boosts and Shields Right

Boosts and shields are really helpful. But only if you use them the right way.

What goes wrong:

Some people forget to use them. Others use them at a bad time. Then they lose a lot of money or property.

Here’s the trick:

Use boosts when your board is full or during a good event. Use shields when you have a lot of money or good properties. That keeps you safe.

The End (But Not Really)

So these are five mistakes that new Monopoly GO players often make. If you stop doing these things, you’ll play better. You’ll win more too.

Now go play smart and have fun. You’re ready to win.
