If you have your eye on a property, but do not have the funds to purchase it, try offering a real-life bribe to another player. There are five cheat cards placed in the centre of the game board and if you are caught then you either have to pay a fine or the person accusing you has to pay a fine. If the Escape Artist Cheat card is face up on the board, you can try to secretly move your token out of Jail! Then, put your mediocre card back in the middle of the pack before anybody sees that you were meant to advance to their hotel. Let’s say that you’re the only one with lots of houses and the ‘street repairs’ cards haven’t come up yet.

However, there are 15 much sneakier ways to cheat that are all much less likely to get you caught… 1. What better way to highlight our rigged economy than by making blatant cheating permissible—and advantageous—in a game all about wealth accumulation?No houses in this edition only hotels and pretend handcuff unit may leave players ""chained"" to the board. While Lizzie Maggie’s ultimate goal of unveiling the wickedness of monopoly capitalism has yet to be achieved, her instincts were right. The hotel will then be granted to the next owner of the property (who only needs to pay for the property space, not the hotel).

The last thing you want to do is to spread your money out into neat little piles so that everyone can see how much you have. My 8 year old just loves Monopoly so he was very happy to receive the new Monopoly Cheater’s Edition from Hasbro Gaming too. Yes, it’s against the rules, but if your opponent agrees to take a bribe in lieu of rent then that’s a win-win for both of you. If you like to cheat at Monopoly, then you should definitely consider getting the Monopoly Cheaters Edition game.

Hasbro has high hopes for Cheaters Edition, believing it could be the most popular Monopoly spinoff to date.
