Post subject: 2 player common mistakes Reply with quote

I thought be good to make a list from everyone's experience in what they think are common mistakes players make in 2p games.

My first one is:

Yellow - If I buy first yellow when I land on it, its 900 - 20% so costs me 720

frequently I see players when you auction the 2nd yellow bidding 1100 straight away!

I usually give when players do this because it gives me an instant advantage.

If they pay 1100 for 2nd yellow (to block)

1st cost me 720, then I get 20% of the 2nd yellow auction price which is 220, making my spend in total just 500!!!!!!

Yet the other player has spent 1100 (600 more than me) to block the set.

Please post your tips or common errors you see others making in 2p games below Very Happy

I make these mistakes all too often.

1 mistake I saw a lot of my opponents in 2p suppose I go fr whites(which I only prefer 3 of them) they bid little to much for the 3rd white even smtimes upto 1400-1500, in most situations I give to my opponent as it gives one advantage to me if I open the final white i.e either I m gonna make a set of 3 whites by getting it and make my opponent waste 1400-1500 for which he paid fr one white or I will make him take the final white fr the same price so that he pays a lot more than me in getting 2 whites RazzRazzRazzRazz
Same can be dn fr blacks i.e pay 900 and 1000 fr 1st two blacks and make ur opponent pay 1100 each fr other 2 RazzRazz

I've seen this happening twice, so I'm not sure if that's common.

Near EC, Player1 spends everything on getting and upgrading green while Player2 has something like whites and blacks. Player2 spends the rest of his cash on buying random property to return to the start before ever hitting green. Player1 is forced to sell upgrades before they pay off and looses.

Do you mean player 1 has to sell his/her upgrades? Yes, I've seen that a lot. Mad

The biggest Mistakes in two player is:

1. Upgrading to fast and leaving yourself broke. Which in turn allows your opponent to buy up sets cheap

2. Not starting the bidding on extractors and utilities.

3. Buying properties for the sake of not going past a r/c start. This is a good strategy in close games but people seem to do it to soon

4. Everyone goes gaga over extractors. This is what gets most players broke. I think they are over rated. Give me a blue set or higher any day over extractors.
