The method above did not work very well for me. I figured out a way to set the rules and it worked on my first try.
Begin by creating a custom set of rules. I'm going to only list the rules I changed, all the others will be on their default setting because I found no need to change them.
Game Setup Rules Starting Cash: 2500 Starting Properties: N/A Starting Property Distribution: N/A Auction Timer: 10 (But maybe more if you're not a quick thinker Use Speed Die: On
Gameplay Rules Just change "Always Auction" to "On" Everything else should be fine on it's default settings
Board and Property Rules Salary for Passing GO: 500 Double Salary for landing on GO: On
Game Ending Rules Win Condition: Most Color Groups When # Players Bankrupt: All Others Game Ends in # Turns: Off When # Color Groups Acquired: 1 When a player has # Total Worth: Off
Now once the game starts it doesn't matter what order you are because the properties will always be auction off no matter who lands on it.
The winning condition is acquiring 2 color groups. I personally when for the Utilities (as the computer will put down relatively low bets on these properties) and then got lucky and acquired the Brown properties. This took me less that 5 minutes to accomplish. However, you should figure out and strategize your approach and adjust accordingly as the game progresses.
Just remember that if it's not a color group you're going for make the computer pay as much for it as possible and also watch out for one of the CPU players to try and snag a color group early on as should you.
So I think that is all pretty clear, this is my first solution post so if anything is unclear find me on XBL and I'll explain it more.
NOTE: XxChiCubs32xX posted in the comments below that he/she accidently put it on one color group to win; I don't remember being able to do this but if it is possible then definitely do it as it will shortin the length of the game.
UPDATE: It has been confirmed that XxChiCubs32xX was right and you can set the game to one color group. |
