Mastering Monopoly: Secrets from the World Champion to Outsmart Your Family

As Monopoly turns 90, former World Champion Jason Bunn shares his secrets to winning at family game night. He emphasizes the importance of snapping up those orange properties, which promise the best returns after a stint in jail. With years of experience under his belt, Bunn has perfected strategies like buying every property you land on, thus giving you leverage for future negotiations.

Bunn’s Monopoly journey began in the mid-’80s after winning a regional contest, eventually earning him the world title. His dedication to the game is impressive, boasting a collection of around 500 Monopoly variants, including rare editions with wooden inlays and silver pieces.
