Introducing Sticker Albums

- Players have a limited time during an album to collect Sticker Sets, earning thousands of free dice rolls and other rewards for completing sets.
- At the same time, special crossover events keep things exciting – for example, a Fantastic Four-themed series of events was underway in early summer of 2025, bringing Marvel’s first family into Monopoly GO! for a few weeks.

Gameplay Basics
- Once you’ve downloaded Monopoly Go! to your phone, let’s go over how to play the game!
- Monopoly GO! is easy to pick up – just roll the dice and enjoy the ride around the board.
- The early boards will introduce you to these mechanics gradually.
- Your goals starting out should be to complete boards to raise your level, keep your shields up, and start collecting stickers (unlocks at level 15).
🎲 Roll the Dice
- Tap the dice button to roll your dice and move your token around the board.
- Each board is Monopoly-themed with properties, railroads, Chance/Community Chest, etc.
- You start with a limited number of dice rolls (which regenerate over time), so use them wisely to advance.
💰 Buying Properties
- Buy and upgrade properties.
- Every time you upgrade properties, you increase your net worth. As you increase your net worth, you’ll start unlocking new features, rewards, and bonuses.
- Low on cash? You can earn more cash by completing events and collecting rent from other players that are on your map!
- Owning all properties of a color set lets you build houses/hotels and increases rent you collect.
- Completing color sets (a red hotel on all same colour properties) also unlocks a Color Wheel bonus for extra cash each time you land on those properties.
🌆 Building Landmarks
- Each board has unique Landmark structures you can upgrade.
- Upgrading all landmarks on your current board lets you “finish” that board and move on to the next city/map.
- There are many boards with a variety of city and holiday themes (starting at New York!), so there’s a lot of progress to be made.
- Upgrading landmarks increases your Net Worth, which is effectively your level/progression in the game.
🛡️ Shields
- To protect your buildings from attacks (see below), you can obtain shields.
- You may get shields from certain board spaces or rewards matching your shield symbol.
- You can hold up to 3 shields at once – each shield will automatically block one incoming attack (Shutdown) on your landmarks.
- Always try to keep your shields maxed at 3 for safety, and note that if you land on additional shield tiles while already at 3 shields, you’ll get a refund in dice rolls instead (the roll isn’t wasted).
- Future net worth upgrades can increase your shield count up to 5!
🚂 Land on Railroads to challenge other players!
- You’ll either have one of the following attack options when you land on a railroad space:
- Shutdown an opponent by attacking their landmark.
- If they have shields, they can block your attack. Don’t worry, you’ll still earn some cash and point progress.
- If they don’t have shields, you’ll destroy their landmark, and you’ll earn cash and points!
- Complete a Bank Heist to rob a player’s bank!
- You’ll have to select tiles to match the icon:
- Silver Coin: A slight amount of cash and some event progress.
- Cash: A moderate amount of cash and event progress.
- Diamond Ring: A large amount of cash, often bankrupting players, and great event progress.
- Gold Bars: Only available when you have the Mega Heist event active. Rewards a substantial amount of cash and event progress.
- You’ll have to select tiles to match the icon:
- Shutdown an opponent by attacking their landmark.
- For shutdowns, the game will choose your opponent, but you can opt to to attack a friend (some friendly competition) or a random player.
- However, the game will choose your opponent for bank heists!
💎 Participate in Tournaments, Events, and more!
- Join tournaments, challenges, and special events to win extra prizes. These will unlock as you play more and increase your net worth!
- At the top of your app, you’ll see a solo challenge. You can click on the event to see what you need to do to earn points. Earning points will unlock rewards like cash, dice, and sometimes cosmetic items!
- On the right side of your app, you’ll see a tournament. Shutdowns and Bank Heists contribute progress for side events.
- Partner & Flash Events will also be displayed on the right side of your app! You can click on these to learn more or interact with the event.
- Partner Events are multi-day events that have you teaming up with other players to earn prizes.
- Flash Events occur for a small duration that provide bonuses for specific actions.
🆓 Collect your Freebies!
- Every day you open the app, you’ll unlock a daily treat.
- Every day, you will have 3 quick win objectives to complete. These earn you rewards and progress toward the weekly reward!
- To obtain the weekly reward, you’ll need to make sure you claim all rewards every day. You can only miss ~2 quick wins per week.
- Join the Tycoon Club: This unlocks bonus dice and perks that help during events.
- Access the Tycoon Club, a special page outside of the app that provides a daily reward wheel and a daily free gift, plus other discounted and unique cosmetic items that can be purchased with money or special currency.
- Learn more about the Tycoon Club and what it offers.
🎴 Earn Stickers and complete your Album:
- Collect and trade stickers to fill albums and unlock special rewards.
- An album is a collection of stickers that you’ve earned. If you’re a regular gamer, an album is essentially a season in Monopoly Go.
- Stickers can be earned by completing quick wins, claiming daily treats, and progressing through your events.
- Every album will have sticker sets. Completing a sticker set will earn you additional rewards, such as dice, cash and tokens.
- Duplicate stickers are converted into stars. You can exchange these stars to unlock vaults for dice and sticker packs.
- Most duplicate stickers can be traded with other players, except for gold stickers.
- When you complete an album, you’ll unlock a huge reward of dice and other goodies!
- Every time you complete an album, you will unlock a prestige version of the album, allowing you to collect more stickers for the remainder of the album.
- See our Sticker Albums section below for even more information!
Sticker Albums and Trading
- By the time you reach Net Worth 15, you’ll unlock the Sticker Album feature.
- Stickers are virtual collectible cards featuring characters, tokens, and scenes.
- Collecting them is not just for fun – completing sticker sets and albums grants huge rewards, including tons of free dice rolls, cash, and exclusive bonuses.
- Here’s what to know about albums:
- Each quarterly album has a theme (e.g. Summer Escape, Bon Appétit, etc.) and contains a number of sets.
- Each set has around 8–10 stickers, and finishing a set grants a set reward (usually free rolls or cash).
- Finishing all sets in an album yields a big album completion reward (often tens of thousands of dice rolls in total).
- You obtain sticker packs by playing the game (rewards from events, Chance cards, etc.) or by trading.
- Duplicates are common, especially for lower-rarity stickers.
- You can trade stickers with other players: the game allows swapping, and there are community forums/Discord channels specifically for coordinating trades with strangers to get the ones you need.
- You cannot trade the rare gold stickers except during special events (see Golden Blitz in the Events Guide), but normal stickers can be freely traded.
- Prestige Sets: Albums have special prestige sets or bonus sets that unlock after finishing the main sets, offering the same line of stickers plus additional sets for additional rewards.
- These are for the completionists and usually not required for the base album completion reward.
- Each quarterly album has a theme (e.g. Summer Escape, Bon Appétit, etc.) and contains a number of sets.
- Stickers add a collecting side-quest to Monopoly GO!.
- It’s very rewarding to complete a set and see that “Completed!” banner – not to mention the free dice rolls it dumps into your account.
- Always open your free sticker packs from events, trade politely (don’t ask for someone’s last copy of a rare sticker unless you’re offering something equivalent!), and leverage the community to finish your collection.
- If you’re stuck on a gold sticker, keep an eye out for the Golden Blitz events (explained in the Events Guide) which temporarily allow limited trading of golds.
Gameplay Tips & Strategies
- Whether you’re a casual player rolling a few times a day or a grinder saving up thousands of dice for events, these tips will help you play more effectively and get the most out of Monopoly GO!.
- We’ve compiled the best advice from experienced players and recent guides, covering everything from dice management to long-term planning.
- See the collapsed sections below to learn more!
1. Master Your Dice Management
- Dice rolls are your most precious resource in Monopoly GO – every action depends on them. Managing your dice wisely can dramatically improve your progress:
- Use Multipliers Strategically:
- As you advance, you can roll with multipliers (2x, 5x, 10x, etc.) to move faster and earn rewards faster.
- However, higher multipliers also consume your dice quicker, so don’t just blindly use the max multiplier every time.
- A good rule of thumb: save high multipliers for times when it counts (for example, during an event where every roll gives event points, or when you’re about to land on a big reward).
- If you’re just circling the board casually, a lower multiplier of 5x, 10x or 20x might be more efficient, depending on your current dice stockpile.
- Learn Board Layouts:
- The board layouts (property order) are fixed, so over time you’ll learn the distance between important spaces.
- For instance, if you are a few spaces away from a Railroad (attack/heist) or a Community Chest, you might hold off on a big multiplier to try and land exactly there.
- Savvy players know how many moves to chance it.
- Plan your rolls – if you know hitting a certain tile will trigger an event or complete a set, aim for it by adjusting your roll counts.
- Don’t Waste Rolls on Low Rewards:
- Similarly, try not to waste dice on trivial moves when nothing beneficial is nearby.
- If you have a small number of dice left, consider waiting until they regenerate to do a more impactful session.
- For example, burning your last 5 rolls when you’re nowhere near a good spot might yield little; it could be better to pause and come back later with more rolls (and maybe a flash event active).
- Collect Free Rolls Everywhere:
- Always take advantage of free dice opportunities.
- This includes the hourly regeneration (log in before it caps), the Daily Treats login rewards, Quick Wins tasks (daily mini-challenges that contribute to a weekly reward) which often include dice, event milestone rewards, and of course the free dice links the developers post (see the FAQ for details on those).
- By stacking all these sources, free-to-play players can accumulate a sizable stash of rolls.
- Timing is Everything:
- If you know a big Tournament or Event is coming up, it can pay to save your dice in advance.
- For instance, if a special event starts tomorrow, you might hold off using today’s rolls (aside from maintaining your cap) so that you can unleash a larger amount when event points are available.
- Patience and planning can yield a higher score in competitive events.
- Use Multipliers Strategically:
2. Build Aggressively, Then Play Defensively
- Monopoly GO has a concept of Net Worth/Level that gates features and content. You want to level up quickly at first, then protect your progress:
- Rush Early Upgrades:
- In the early game, build and upgrade properties as fast as you can.
- Pushing your Net Worth up unlocks crucial features: Auto Roll at level 8, Stickers/Album at 15, Daily Treats at 25, etc.
- Plus, a higher Net Worth might increase your passive dice regen rate.
- Spend the Monopoly cash you earn to upgrade landmarks and finish boards quickly in the beginning – this will propel you to those unlock milestones faster.
- Unlock and Use Shields:
- As soon as shields become available, always try to have the maximum of 3.
- After the initial rush, consider a more defensive playstyle: don’t finish upgrades immediately if you’re about to go offline. Why? Because once you place that final building, your shiny new landmark could be vulnerable to a Shutdown attack if you have no shield.
- Some players intentionally hold off completing a board until they can do a bunch of upgrades at once (minimizing the window where a half-built landmark can be knocked down).
- Invest to hit the unlocks, then later save up cash and do big upgrades in one go to avoid incremental progress being lost to attacks.
- Spend Your Money Before Logging Off:
- This is a classic tip – don’t leave a large pile of cash unspent, or else when you’re away someone might heist a chunk of it.
- There’s no bank to protect your cash except spending it unless you have a significantly large cashflow!
- Maintain Shield Coverage:
- If you’re out of shields and you know you won’t play for a while, accept that your buildings might take hits.
- You can’t protect from everything, but logging back in to find all landmarks intact is a great feeling!
- If you’re at your shield cap, shield tiles instead refund your roll as mentioned.
- If you’re out of shields and you know you won’t play for a while, accept that your buildings might take hits.
3. Optimize Social Features (Friends = Free Rolls)
- Monopoly GO! heavily incentivizes social play. Taking advantage of this can give you significant benefits!
- Link to Facebook & Contacts:
- As noted, connecting to Facebook yields free dice rolls instantly.
- Additionally, inviting friends (or even contacts who join) can net you bonus rolls per new friend who installs the game.
- Use your unique invite link to share with people – for each new player who joins via your link, you’ll get free dice and even some sticker packs.
- Tip: If you have a second device, you can even invite “yourself” on a fresh account to snag those freebies – but nothing beats real friends actively playing, because…
- Community Chest with Friends:
- Recently overhauled, the Community Chest is a social feature where you choose 3 friends.
- During the week, you and your friends will need to complete a series of objectives and earn points to fill up each chest’s 3 levels.
- Completing all objectives and earning points by landing on Community Chest spaces grant improved chances at maximum awards, including a 6-Star Sticker Pack!
- Every Wednesday at 5pm UTC, the Community Chests open and then reset!
- Your friends stick with you the entire album, but if you have an inactive friend, you can remove them (there is a 30 minute cooldown before selecting a new friend, however).
- Form or Join a Sticker Trading Group:
- Since trading stickers is crucial for album completion, coordinate with friends or communities.
- Many players create group chats on Facebook and Discord where they call out which duplicates they have and swap around.
- Completing albums can yield huge dice rewards (30,000+ rolls for full album completion in some cases), so helping each other is mutually beneficial. I
- If you don’t have friends who play, consider joining the official Monopoly GO Discord or Reddit/Facebook communities; the Discord in particular is very active and has channels for trading and finding partner event teammates.
- Tip: When competing in the right-side tournaments, consider adding players if you are a lone wolf, and start growing your social list!
- Partner Up for Events:
- Some events (Partner Events) require you to team up with another player.
- Having a reliable partner ready (ideally someone who can play at similar times) will make those events much easier and more fun.
- We’ll cover Partner Events in detail in the Events Guide, but in general – communication is key in partner events.
- When you team up with a partner in an event, you are locked in with them until the end of the event, so choose wisely.
- Beware of Scams:
- A quick caution on the social side – only trust official links and communities.
- If someone private messages you promising “free dice generator” or asks for your account info, ignore them.
- There have been opportunists providing malicious links claiming free rolls.
- Stick to known sources (official Facebook/Twitter posts or reputable sites like those we list in Essential Links).
- Within the game, trades and partner invites are generally safe, just use common sense when interacting outside the app.
- When trading stickers, it’s recommended to focus on 1:1 trades. Some players may scam other players by asking 2:1 trade, and once you trade, they block you. There is an exchange option when you trade stickers, which guarantees a sticker exchange once the other player accepts and puts in their sticker. You can accept or deny their trade.
4. Time Your Play Sessions
- While it might be tempting to play for hours on end, Monopoly GO actually rewards shorter, more frequent sessions rather than one long binge.
- Short Sessions, More Often:
- Because your dice regenerate over time, it’s optimal to check in, use your dice (or most of them), then step away and let things refresh.
- The game does not give extra bonuses for being on continuously; in fact, as noted by one guide, “Monopoly GO does not reward long play, with better incentives for short stints”.
- Save Dice for Events:
- If an event or tournament is active that you care about, concentrate your play during that window.
- Conversely, during downtime (no event or just minor ones), you might stockpile some dice or play minimally.
- Planning around the event schedule is a hallmark of advanced players. (some hardcore players even set alarms for short flash events like Mega Heist hours.)
- Use Auto Roll Carefully:
- Auto Roll (unlocked at level 8) is convenient but can burn through dice rapidly.
- If you do use it, consider setting a low roll count or keeping an eye on it.
- Don’t set auto 500 rolls and walk away – you might come back to zero dice and several missed opportunities.
- It’s best used when grinding through a large saved stash during an event, so that every auto-roll is contributing to points.
- Know When to Stop:
- It sounds counterintuitive in a game, but sometimes stopping is smart.
- For instance, if you’re in first place in a Tournament and there’s an hour left, you might hold onto further rolls unless someone threatens your position.
- No need to waste resources when you’re already winning.
- Likewise, if a flash event (like Cash Boost or Rent Frenzy) is active, it could be worth playing; if not, maybe wait until one appears.
- Monopoly GO frequently has these mini bonus periods throughout the day.
- Moderation (Avoid Pay Temptations):
- As a final point, remember that Monopoly GO is designed with monetization – you can buy dice, etc.
- The good news is you truly don’t need to pay to enjoy the game, as long as you take advantage of all the free rolls and pace yourself.
- As one writer put it, everything in moderation – you can absolutely have fun and progress well without spending real money. Set your own limits. The game gives plenty of free rolls if you’re patient.
5. Event Strategy – Play Smart, Not Just Hard
- Events are where many players focus their strategic energies, because events offer some of the best rewards (and competition).
- Understand the Event’s Goal:
- Each event type has different objectives – some are about collecting tokens, some about completing boards or landmarks, some about heisting other players.
- Always read the event rules (tap the event icon in-game for its info) before diving in.
- If the event rewards points for, say, every Railroad landed on, then your strategy should be to maximize those.
- If it’s a building event requiring tokens, you might need to save tokens and do big spins at once (common in partner events).
- Understand the Event’s Goal:
- Use Resources During Events:
- Generally, you want to spend your saved dice rolls during events for maximum benefit.
- Also use boosters and multipliers when they’ll count the most.
- For example, during a Roll Race event, using a 20x multiplier with a Lucky Rocket booster (ensuring high dice outcomes) can net you massive progress in one go.
- During a Rent Frenzy, crank up the multiplier because every property landing yields double cash, which helps with building.
- Tailor your use of dice, cash, and tokens to what will earn event points most efficiently.
- Coordinate in Team Events:
- For team-based events like Tycoon (Racer) Tournaments or Partner events, communication with teammates is vital. I
- n a racer team event, coordinate use of team boosters (if one person has a Team Spring booster to give everyone a free high-multiplier roll, maybe everyone should be ready to roll right after it’s activated).
- If you have an Overload booster to slow an enemy team, maybe use it when that team is about to overtake yours.
- Partner events, of course, require both partners to play consistently – don’t wait until the last minute or your partner might not be online to help finish attractions. Plan a schedule together.
- Aim for Milestones, But Be Realistic:
- Events often have milestone rewards (e.g. reach X points for guaranteed prizes) and then competitive leaderboards for top players.
- If you’re a free player, focus on hitting the milestones – those are achievable with good strategy and give you the goodies without needing to rank #1.
- The leaderboard chase can become a dice-spending war. If you find yourself far behind the top ranks, it’s okay to settle for a lower tier reward rather than exhausting all resources. There will always be another event soon!
- Take Advantage of Flash Events:
- Keep an eye out for the short Flash Events that pop up daily.
- These include things like Mega Heist (enhanced heist rewards for a short period), Cash Boost (double cash from actions for a few hours), Roll Match (perhaps something to do with matching dice), etc.
- Flash events can stack with main events – for example, a Cash Boost flash event during a building tournament helps you earn more cash to build faster.
- Logging in periodically to catch these windows can give you an extra edge without extra dice. Refer to the Monopoly Go Wiki site for upcoming flash events!
