Monopoly Deal Mental Game Strategies

Strategy Examples:One way to make your opponents think this would be to keep one card (start the first time you actually have a Just Say No action card) separate from the rest of the cards in your hand face down on the table. Then use it when you need to. The next time you place a single card (or multiple cards) face down on the table separate from your hand your opponents will think they are important cards and may hesitate to use the Deal Breaker on you. Only works if you do sometimes have a Just Say No and play it like this. Another way is to hesitate paying Rent or giving over property to an opponent by pretending to decide if you should use a card from your hand. While it doesn’t get you out of that scenario it does create a fraction of doubt in your opponents mind for next time they go to play a Deal Breaker action card against you.

Strategy Examples:If you have a Deal Breaker try and pair it with a Sly Deal so that on your turn you start by playing the Sly Deal action card by trying to take the most important non-full set card from your opponent, maybe a card from an almost complete set. There is a high chance they would try to stop you by using their Just Say No. If they do, great, now you play the Deal Breaker to take their full set.
