Strategy:Sly Deal and Force Rent – Make Money and Property

If you have a Force Deal or a Sly Deal and a Rent card for a property color you don’t currently have, look for that property color in the other player’s cards. Look for opportunities to pair the force or Sly Deal card with the Rent card you have but can’t use.


Strategy Examples:if have a green Rent card but no green property card and your opponent does, on your turn use a Sly Deal card to take their green property card and then in the same turn play your green Rent card. This way you get a new property plus Rent vs. just laying the Rent card in your Bank or holding onto it for too long.
