GAME mechanics

  • Collecting Sets - In Volopoly, the aim of collecting sets is to acquire all the properties of the same color. By completing a set, the player can increase the rental value of their properties, potentially bankrupting opponents faster. This strategy is crucial to ensuring a constant source of income and increasing your chances of victory.
  • Auction / Bidding - When a player decides not to buy a property, it goes up for auction. All players have the chance to bid, starting at any amount. Effective auction strategies can allow you to acquire properties at lower prices, or manipulate the bids to increase the cost for your opponents.
  • Negotiation - Trading between players is a key element in securing the best properties. You can trade properties, money or other stored resources. The ability to negotiate well can be the difference between victory and defeat, allowing you to adjust your strategies during the game.
  • Roll / Turn - Players roll two dice to determine how many squares they advance on the board. The roll or turn of the dice represents the element of luck in the game, influencing which properties can be bought or actions performed each turn.
  • Move - Movement based on the roll of the dice sets the pace of the game. By stopping at different houses, players face different situations such as buying property, paying rent or facing penalties. Planning future moves based on the dice is essential for success.
