These players play much faster and more seriously than my friends do. They are amazing.
Can 🍺🍻 bark and everything you've not coming back from et
Fun fact: *u search for this*
nope this was in my recommendations
FunFact: I didn’t
I searched this
Yeah 🤣
Yeah I searched for it.
Why am I watching this?
Because you clicked on it.
Flapjack the American penguin I just said that to my self
Flapjack the American penguin I was thinking the exact same thing lol.
cause I am
Because this video makes you an interesting video to watch how they play like a gambling
I feel like I'm watching a casino game lol
What was the Point Dark Blue Set Wiped Everyone out
It's a gamble
Watching high level pros play Monopoly at breakneck speed is like that How I Met Your Mother episode where the Chinese gamblers are playing that incomprehensible tile/wheel/dice/jelly bean game
The fluidity of it all is the real crazy thing about this
21:17 thats one hell of a trade
never seen Monopoly played so fast 😅
This was not the full game in the video.
@Nic777 The stupid Free Parking rule
@thejugador collecting everyone tax money when land on free parking and get 400 when land on go lol
When hurricane sandy knocked out nj's power out for a week my group of friends just played monopoly most of the time. We were JRs in high school applying basic statistics to the game. Time went on and we still played, and got faster, and faster. You'll notice in the video some players just grap their token and know where it goes without having to count. This is a trick using the corners and railroads. When you have a good banker, and someone who knows the moving trick games are literally an hour an a half with some beers. It really has become a new game. once you got the stats down, and the speed it becomes way less boring.
It's got a great balance of knowledge needed (math), luck (good rolls), and the hustle (negotiating).
This is literally me right now playing with all my friends and I’m a junior and the games get competitive
I hate that the one guy touches everybody else's stuff. I would freak the hell out on him
Chris DeMint is is called OCD dumass
Chris DeMint to
Trevor last that isn't OCD, that's someone trying to control everything that's going on.
Tyrizzle Productions dumbass European salty cause we kick ass
I hate the guy who puts his houses upside down, I think Monopoly is just a game of hate. Hey, I guess it really is like the real estate market.
I can't believe there's a monopoly world championship
only this isn't the world championship
Benginator still
You so alone?
Monopoly is serious business.
took me 4 years to see what you did their
waffielz yolo what???
Thats what I play alone and think hard like in the casino
Took me two years to see what YOU did their, (it didn’t actually take you 4 years to figure it out thats just how long it took for you to discover his comment)
For real
Dude who got the yellows got robbed. Dude who ended up with railroads and dude who got blues made out like bandits.
I would say the person who was worst off was actually the person who got the reds. The board position was a little worse for the reds than for the yellows at the time and he couldn't build that much either. The person who wound up ahead of the game at the end of the trade was probably the person who got the dark blues, just because of the board position and his cash stack making bankruptcy to him so likely given the board position, but the person who got the best deal was absolutely the person who got greens and railroads. 5-way trades are complex and require you to pay close attention. If the other players did that, they could have taken the yellows off the table, thus excluding him from the trade, and instead included the light blues. They didn't realize it at the time, though, due to how much was going on at once. The game wouldn't have changed any, though, because the player with dark blues got insane luck.
He definitely made the right decision to go with dark blues over pinks in my opinion though. Most people are afraid to take the risk of the dark blues due to how inconsistent they are, and he definitely would have been winning by far after the trade if he took the pinks, but the dark blues were far superior given board position. Every single player was coming up to his dark blues at the time of the trade, and one hit almost guarantees bankruptcy which almost guarantees him a win. I doubt the other players at the table realized he had so much money, otherwise they likely would've made him give money away.
What they should have done, though, is completely cut the player who wound up with the dark blues and the player who wound up with the greens and railroads out of the trade. They had the light blues, the dark blues, and the oranges between them.
The guy who got the REDs also gave up A LOT of properties.
I agree with cutting the Green + RR out of the trade entirely. He basically demanded that from the get go at which point he could have been dropped like that.
Dude
Man these guys play so fast, I like to relax when I'm playing Monopoly 😀
When I play family monopoly I make sure to scam the young-lings and then get one with the adults. I’m very competitive.
they play fast because there's a timer
Wow, there are railroads on his shirt.
I'd flip the board.
Out of all the board games in the world, just give me MONOPOLY! I seriously enjoyed this video and I enjoy learning from other players! To the guy whom won, GREAT JOB!
They're so fast. Me and my cousins would always laugh while playing this
On board or using App?
Don't know I stumbled upon this but I got invested. Struck me as odd when I heard Apple Valley and thought to myself there are plenty of Apple Valley cities. Then I saw High Desert and thought, "Oh shit!" If you're wondering why I thought that it is because I'm from Victorville which is part of the high desert.
My family plays at lightning speed. Usually, by the time you are done sorting out your turn, it is your turn to roll again. 35 minute game would be a long one
The player with the Dark Blues was so lucky...2 players landed on there in the same round!
even without that luck he was in a good position! three houses in blue is a killer!
And then a third gaha
He was gonna win anyways
This game confused me so much I had no idea what was happening anyone else
everyone is moving so fast. throwing shit around in each turn.
yeah I could not follow.
Once you play the game multiple times you can follow really quickly what’s going on. I’m so addicted to this game i even bought the app. Thankfully my wife loves playing monopoly too lol it’s just practice.
I could keep some track of the game at some point, where I felt lost the most was on the trade. They kept moving cards around, placing them randomly on the table couldn't keep tabs on who was trading what to who and for how much. And after that in came the bunch of houses out of no where like... I just don't know lmao
@@attmosf3ar which app? let me know too.
Oh man, I'm in that competitive monopoly part of TH-cam again...
i hate how they start playing their turn before someone else finishes
So true!
Same exact thing happened to me the other night except I bought Both of the dark blues instead of traded, and every person went out on boardwalk for 1400. It was a good time
Why is that guy in the middle obsessed with rearranging the bankers cards?!?
o.c.d
A guy trying to control everything that's going on in the game.
He's white and the nearest guy is black so he takes control
badly wanted the guy who was touching everything to be the first loser
Game over for Craig at 29:00 and over for Matt at 30:05. Craig is annoying...touching everywhere, the houses, dice, other peoples money, deeds, etc. Geoff was probably thinking...."GET BACK FOOL>>> I OWN YOUR ASS CRAIG"!
It's possible he's a designated Moderator and it his job, to an extent, to keep track of certain things. It's also possible he is the most experienced and is capable of speeding up the game. Could be any number of reasons. I don't think he was trying to be malicious.
Just what I thought, and even when they were doing the trade he pressed the yellow guy with the chose cards and the green guy too. When he was out he was making moves for ppl too. I don’t want anybody touching my avatar hshaha
Crazy game, boardwalk is never that kind to me when I have it.
Nothing made me happier than this! 33:45
21:47 We see one guy has the Reds. One has Yellows. One Dark Blues & Utilities. When you have the Dark Blues it's after go to jail and there's only 2 properties vs 3. Also they don't get landed on as much as Reds & Yellows. So you need a money generator to stay in game. He has Utilities but should have 3 or 4 Railroads. One guy has the Greens which are after Go To Jail & are expensive to build on. This is evened out for him with 3 or 4 Railroads to compete with the Reds/Yellows. Mighty Oranges guy has very little money to build to be fair to others. Notice how the power is distributed evenly between the players? THIS IS HOW YOUR GAME SHOULD LOOK IF YOUR PLAYING WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE A UNDERSTANDING FOR THE MECHANICS OF HOW THE GAME WORKS!
LunaticPaul1976 they also just did a massive trade that probably would've been negotiated more if not for the time limit, but nonetheless, I agree
These guys don't even trade, like last night I played this with my cousins, and it was pure chaos😂😂
This game ends with the craziest round of luck for the winner ever! FOUR straight hits on Boardwalk at 3 houses ($1400 rent)...NO ONE passes through unscathed! Congrats to the winner (Geoff Ellis of Bakersfield) and to the four other finalists: Matt McNally (2003 U.S. Champion), Craig Way (2009 U.S. Finalist, famous for driving the "Sold Gold Race Car" token, as seen in this video), Ken Koury (3rd place, 2003 U.S. Championship), and up-&-coming tourney expert Brian Valentine of Orlando, Florida.
Did those dice damage your game boards? I tried using casino dice and they punched a bunch of holes into my Monopoly board from rolling them.
@@Ohrami damn did they have thumbtacks in them?
@@jeffreyd700 Nah. The dice being used in this tournament game are standard casino precision dice. They are extremely sharp because they are perfect cubes. They are incredibly uncomfortable to hold and use and will literally puncture holes into your game board.
Precision dice are great because they are the same density on all sides. This means that every face is equally likely to turn up. In my Monopoly games, I now use backgammon precision dice, which are required for tournament backgammon play. These dice are like casino dice, but they're much smaller and have rounded corners. This means they'll roll more, which means it's harder to "game" the dice by kinda dropping them, and it also means they won't puncture the game board or feel uncomfortable to hold, but they still retain all the benefits of casino precision dice.
@Nic777 Hi Nic777: I'm the judge from that tournament. No such rule was used. Players could trade at any point. As I recall, a few properties were still unsold at the point of this big trade.
@@Ohrami Hi Ohrami, Those were rounded-corner red dice (not Casino dice) that came in the Monopoly Tournament Edition box set from around 2010.
Imagine if this was played by all worlds Presidents they would be betting the real places they have and use real money😂
during this quarantine, idk why i want to play monopoly but i dont have friends to play with
When people think the dark blues are crap and barely landed on, this is an example on how everyone died to Boardwalk
but luck also applies
Illinois' red, Boardwalk is blue
I searched for this, and so did you
Epic trade.
Are the points when the audio cuts cursing? I would curse with bullies telling me I have more property up then I did.
Nice game, but it's really bothering me how disheveled their houses are. Line 'em up, yo!
It's fine.
I seriously want that railroad shirt
What happened to monopoly tournaments - do they even do them anymore? The last one I remember was several years ago when they introduced the speed die and mandated it's use in the tournament... then I haven't heard about one since. When played correctly - Monopoly is a lot more strategic than people think and goes faster than people think.
Man it's 2am i need to sleep why am i watching this?
Quien aqui por leyendas y videojuegos?
never underestimate the power of boardwalk!!!!! underrated
Part2 Never give someone the Dark Blues or Oranges when they have enough money to put 3 houses a piece on them right away. 3 houses on Boardwalk right after the trade?
Yeah I agree with you there. At that point you actually take as much money out of them to make sure they don't get 3 houses up.
🤨🧐This is strangely hypnotic.....
Love this!!!! Great game 🫶
I dont have anything else to do, so i watch this
Boom, jail time for Jeff.
The guy managed to get utilities and blue monopoly (knowing that he had no blues before the trade) just with a yellow and green property! he robbed them!!! they were so dumb!
Yeah, silly trade. Guy with greens and railroads probably did even better for himself though. I'd say the guy with greens and railroads actually had the best position to win the game, but the dice didn't fall in his favor.
Wow this is so cool and it’s fun to play
24:28 did he get 1400 or less? i mean calculating all the money he had and the deeds?
your money and propertis are not orginized
when all players are involved in a trade it means everyone is happy with the trade! But the objective is to have advantage! at least one player should be out of the deal so that even if you are not fully happy with the trade there is at least one player who had nothing and the deal will be in your favor compared to the player not involved in the trade
Boardwalk is strong..i only trade it off to a person with low cash..all because once i rolled double n land on hoteled boardwalk, then rolled again landed on chance that send me to boardwalk again..game turned real quick
A person with low cash who was able to invest $1,800 at least into his properties to get a hotel? I'm not sure if you know the meaning of low cash.
@@Ohrami i meant when im the one with low cash..i read my statement, even i didnt understand..then i recalled the incident..
@@Apezz19 Nah, rereading your statement I think that I was misinterpreting what you said 5 months ago. You were stating that you only trade it to players with low cash because in the past, you traded it away to someone with large amounts of cash and lost because of it.
I will, however, tell you that this method of thinking is the wrong one. In the long term, Boardwalk and Park Place are some of the worst properties to own, due to the relatively low probability that they are landed on. Since getting people to land on you early is one of the most important parts of the game of Monopoly, having a property that is landed on more often is incredibly important.
This can't be serious? What is next lottery championship?
Herioz
There is always luck involved! Just so happens boardwalk a low hit space got hit twice I believe which made a lucky win. (his only option to be fair.) However, debates and trading you can manipulate for better pieces! I like it! (Poker is proffesional, exact same idea.)
Adam Witcher Nah, poker involves WAY more tactic than monopoly... come on man
AFCA 1900
How so? In one case you calculate the odds of someone landing on your tiles and you adjust to it by selling and building houses and buying the accoding property. In the other, you pick when to go through with the odds you were given at the begining of the round.
Monopoly has much more interaction between players and potential actions that can be made to benefit the player playing well than Poker does, but the game of Poker has its skill in hiding facial expressions and knowing your cards and odds. Both games are tactical and both have a big reliance on luck, but none have it big enough that it overwhelmes skill everytime. Both also use skill in their own way, in Monopoly's case its acting and reacting to the playing board that everyonr can see, while Poker has it set to act and react to cards that are hidden.

Exo Particle how is monopoly tactic, everyone simply buys all the proporties they land on. In poker it's mainly about skill and also a bit of luck
21:14 Ahora se viene lo chidooo!! 😎
This is also very strange because official Monopoly tournaments that lead up to the US tournament then world do NOT have 5 player tables it is capped at 4 - and one official to be banker and watch everything.
You can buy and pay on a double ?
The guy grabbing everyone's stuff was giving me so much anxiety
Calm down Gen z anxiety boy.
@@RedakaiCity gen z? lol
Came here from game grumps... need to see anime monopoly with kaiji
This is high level monopoly?
Nah, that guy touching everything getting thrown off my table
What is Geoff's token? It looks like a marble or something.
why do they never play with more than 4 people in tournaments ?
+Snoopy Schulz I do not think it has ever been defined, but probably for logistical reasons:
1. convenience:1 person for each side of the board. Anything more than 4 would cramp the board and table
2. speed: if you have games of 5+ players it slows the game down considerably as it is difficult to acquire monopolies and it becomes tedious and boring
What?! They built houses even tho it's not their turn??? READ THE RULES!!!!
Does anyone know what dice they use? Its not even boucing around like the dice I have. Thank you in advance to whoever can answer!
I think the board takes the energy from the dice making them bounce less. They could also be playing on a wooden table which makes the dice bounce less.
I don't know why I watched this
I don’t know what, who and when I’m meant to be looking at.
tu eras el señor monoply el viejito que esta jugando el juego de monopoly gracias de nada
4:36 he rolled 7 but only moved 6
you stupid
he was the iron not the gold car, he moved 7.
The amount of money someone has is public knowledge, so you can't hide how much money you have, there are entire strategies build on just that.
Since when? I haven’t seen anything saying we have to disclose are bank info with others
@@kendalljasper309 In the official monopoly pc and mobile games how much money someone has can always be seen. If they wanted it otherwise they would have given players the ability to hide their money but they didn't.
I don't have the official rules next to me to check but there are entire strategies around how much money someone has in order to know how much to bid etc...
Better competitive scene then Tf2 :/
oof
2:56 they did a double
06:01...did I miss something?????? Didn't collect $200 for passing GO and didn't pay TAX when he landed on 4th space after GO!!!!!!!
+jack gamble collect 200 from go, pay 200 for income tax
Wow....talk about me being a slow thinker...duh!....Thanks :)
+jack gamble
Wow, you're dumb.
+AmazingGryphon LOL...actually you are the dumb one that bought the bait. Since he only went around the board twice, his total cash on hand and printed price of his 4 nonmortgage properties comes to less than $2000. In other words: $1500 (Start) + 200 (passing GO) + 200 (passing GO) - (minus) rents he paid out + (plus) the little rents he received. Therefore, he should have paid the 10% income tax instead of the full $200. He should have paid the $200 after going around the board THREE (3) times. Cash and Common Sense is King...right? LOL! :P
most new versions of monopoly don't let you choose to pay 10%.
What happened at 5:57? I see him go to put the card on the bottom of the pile but instead puts it at the top? Is this following the rules? Which rule?
I think he accidently moved someone elses piece onto community chest so the go wasn't valid, and therefore had to put the card back
@@Nico-ss9lr Oh so obvious now. This game just moves to quick I couldn't comprehend it
@@Dj992Music maybe he wants to cheat, but it's not certain if he cheats his enemy or the people around him will reprimand him
I don't know much about real monopoly strategy but didn't the dude who got greens and rails make out like a bandit. are the orange and reds more valuable because they're closer to jail?
the orange and the reds are BY FAR the best color groups in the game...with orange being the very best.
more fun than yu gi oh
These people are "pros"?
Katalyzt
Why they don't collect 200 when passing or landing on GO :(
What is the final purse?
is there a cluedo wc?
+Lycergic Bliss I believe so. During the year that was the centenary of Agatha Christie's birth, they staged a celebration in Torquay in which David Suchet and Joan Hickson met in character, with Poirot arriving by train and greeting Miss Marple with a bouquet of flowers. They showed a bit of the WC featuring a dispute over a contested roll; the prize (or part of it) for winning was to be a trip on the Orient Express.
Man I should be sleeping.
Can you put houses in a property you own but your token is not landing on that property?
Yes all you need is enough money
what happens between 5.50 & 6.00 re;rules ?
I think he moved the wrong piece and when he moved his piece he landed on income tax and paid $200 so he just didnt take anything from the bank
Bro what? There are professional monopoly players?
Why am l watching this ?
23:32 world at war started
I don't like how the title deeds look like a mess when there in the bank.
Jesus christ i didnt even know they started playing! It looked like they were still setting up!
They shouldn't have all been able to build at once. You can only build just before or just after your own turn.
according to the rules, you can build on your turn or between players turns
Try reading the rules before posting about them on a public video forum.
They should do a wolf of Wall Street monopoly.... In the end you end up in prison hahahahaha 😆🤣
Dunno how I ended up watching this but only watches for 5 minutes and got lost and that man in the middle was getting on me nerves touching everything wouldve knocked him out already
what am I doing here at 1am
Just imagine!
A game between pros, takes 40 minutes
A game between normies takes 40 years xD
It's cool and sad at the same time...that guy is OLD.
there are more obscure games out there to play professional...
I get competitive when I see someone land on free parking
With the low cash they had, I'm surprised no one traded for the gray color set. 😒😒😒
Sounds like you are colorblind. Don't worry, I am too; but that property group is light blue.
