@matrixI'm pretty sure game theorists "cracked" monopoly decades ago.
Spoiler: The optimal strategy is build nothing but houses (not upgrading to hotels) until the bank runs out of houses and nobody else can upgrade their properties. Then simply roll until all other players are bankrupt.
@haberdasher@matrixAny of the 3 property monopolies will do it. Just get them as fast as possible. Ignore utilities and anything that can't be upgraded at least until all the houses are gone.
