Tips for playing

Here are some tips for doing better in the game Monopoly: Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition:

1. **Acquire properties early: Focus on getting key territories such as Gallifrey and Trenzalore. These can generate high returns with houses and hotels. 2. **Always respect the Daleks:** Properties with Daleks are expensive, but mastering them can intimidate your opponents, making them a powerful asset. 3. **Use the Sonic Screwdriver wisely:** This special item can get you out of tricky situations, so plan its use strategically. 4. **Negotiation is crucial:** Exchanging with other players can be advantageous if you're after a monopoly. Be willing to give in to get what you want. 5. **Keep cash on hand:** Don't spend it all straight away. Instead, keep a reserve to cover property fees and drops into opponents' spaces. 6. **Manage your houses and hotels:** Build houses evenly across all your properties before committing to hotels. This maximizes your return without draining your finances. 7. **Keep an eye on the chance cards and Community Bau:** Some cards can benefit you more than others, so anticipate your moves to make the most of them. 8. **Watch your opponents:** Pay attention to other players' strategies. Understanding their tactics can give you a competitive edge. 9. **Use time travel to your advantage:** Take advantage of opportunities to travel to strategic parts of the board to change the course of the game in your favor. 10. **Enjoy the themed game:** Don't forget to have fun, soaking up the references to the Doctor Who universe as you plot your victory!

GAME mechanics

  • Collecting Sets - In Monopoly: Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition, players acquire properties inspired by the iconic Doctor Who stories. The aim is to collect all the properties in the same set in order to build TARDISes and Daleks, replacing houses and hotels, thus increasing the rent charged to opponents.
  • Elimination of Players - Participants are eliminated when they declare bankruptcy. This happens if a player cannot pay their debts to another player or the bank, even after liquidating their properties, bringing a sense of urgency to acquire valuable properties from the Doctor Who universe.
  • Auction / Bidding - When a player chooses not to buy a property they've stopped on, it goes up for auction. Everyone, including those who initially refused, can take part, bidding until the property is sold to the highest bidder. A real test of the bidders' bargaining skills and perception.
  • Negotiation - Exchanges between players are essential. It's possible to trade property, money or even future rents. These mechanics bring strategic nuances that change as the relationships and trust between players evolve during the game.
  • Scroll / Rotate and Move - Movement on the board is by rolling dice, with each roll moving the thematically inspired piece (like a sonic screwdriver) around the board. Each space offers strategic decisions, such as buying property or avoiding paying high rents.
