Alright, let me tell you about my time with the Monopoly Go 1st anniversary bash. I just logged in like usual one day, and bam! The whole game had this party vibe going on. Confetti, balloons, the works. It definitely caught my eye.
Getting Started with the Bash
So, the main thing seemed to be collecting these special anniversary tokens. I think they looked like little cakes or something similar. You’d get them from landing on certain tiles on the board, the ones they specially marked for the event. Also, popping balloons during the board rush thingy gave some, and finishing the quick win tasks helped too.
My first goal was just to figure out how to get as many tokens as possible. I spent a good while just rolling the dice, trying to hit those specific spots. Sometimes I’d use a higher multiplier when I felt lucky or was close to a target tile, but honestly, it felt pretty random most times.
The Grind and the Rewards
There was this progress bar, like they always have for events. You fill it up with the tokens you collect. Each section you hit gave you some rewards. Stuff like:
- Dice rolls: Always need more of these, right?
- In-game cash: Good for upgrading landmarks.
- Sticker packs: Trying to finish those albums is a nightmare, so every pack helps.
- Special anniversary items: I think there was a new shield skin and maybe a player token up for grabs if you got far enough.
I focused mainly on getting enough tokens for the dice rewards and maybe a sticker pack here and there. Didn’t really stress about getting all the way to the end, seemed like a huge grind. I just played like I normally would, maybe a bit more focused on landing on the event tiles when possible.
Had a few frustrating moments, of course. Like when you need just one specific tile and you keep rolling past it, or landing in jail right before you hit the jackpot spot. That’s just Monopoly Go for ya, I guess. The anniversary event didn’t change that part, haha.
Wrapping Up My Thoughts
Overall, the 1st anniversary bash was pretty straightforward. Log in, roll dice, collect event stuff, get some freebies. It wasn’t revolutionary, but it was a nice little bonus on top of the regular gameplay. The decorations were fun, and getting extra dice and cash is always welcome.
I managed to snag a good amount of dice and cash, which helped me push through a couple of boards. Didn’t get the top-tier prizes, but I wasn’t really aiming for them super hard either. Just enjoyed the festive look and the extra rewards along the way. It felt like a decent way for them to mark their first year.
