In Monopoly Go, the board serves as the map where all your actions and activities take place. Specific tiles and associated activities on the board shift to match the theme of the current sticker album.
For instance, during The Simpsons album, landing on Free Parking tiles lets you play a new mini-game called The Simpsons Run, while landing on Chance tiles allows you to draw themed Chance cards featuring The Simpsons.
Since The Simpsons album and its associated mechanics are part of a full-scale Monopoly Go crossover event, Board Saga feature has made a comeback!
Recognizing that this might be your first time experiencing a crossover event and Board Saga in Monopoly Go, EZG.com has created this dedicated guide to help you navigate the feature and unlock the rewards you deserve!
What is Board Saga?
Monopoly Go Board Saga links two specific boards together for a limited time, treating them as a single unit. You must complete both boards in succession, fully finishing Board 1 and Board 2, to unlock the ultimate Saga reward.
Each Board Saga features a unique storyline spanning multiple chapters. Completing a chapter within the time limit builds progress toward the exclusive Saga chest, which may contain dice, cash, and rare, high-star sticker packs.
Keep in mind that even a rare sticker pack doesn’t guarantee a new or high-star sticker, as sticker drops are random and have low odds.
So, while playing the game is a key way to collect stickers, the best method to ensure you complete more sets (especially the later ones) is to buy Monopoly Go stickers at EZG.com!
Beyond offering more tasks and rewards, Board Saga differs from standard board progression in that, while it is a standard game mechanic, it typically only appears during Monopoly Go crossover events or special holiday celebrations.
How to play Board Saga?
During Monopoly Go crossover events or other qualifying occasions, the game launches Board Saga on specific dates, integrating it into your regular board progression flow.
Although it offers extra rewards, the requirements for completing the specific boards within a Board Saga are no different from those of standard boards.
However, please note that you must complete Board Sagas in the order prescribed by the system; you cannot skip the current Saga to play the next one.
Additionally, during the current season, the game does not always launch Sagas with brand-new themes; instead, it cycles through existing ones. So, don’t be surprised if you see a familiar Saga reappear later on.
How to complete a board?
Currently, Monopoly Go features nearly 200 boards, each with its own unique theme. Even if you have completed them all, the game cycles through them based on your upgrade and progression status, frequently renaming them and introducing new events to ensure there is always content for you to play.
For example, one of the hottest themes currently in the game is The Simpsons. These boards feature five distinct landmark buildings and various tiles, each with a specific function.
Each building has six upgrade stages. You must progress around the board repeatedly until you have fully upgraded all buildings, completing a total of 30 upgrade stages, to clear the board and unlock the next one.
Advancing across the board requires dice, upgrading buildings requires cash, and completing albums requires Monopoly Go cards. You need to stockpile enough of these three resources to keep progressing and completing boards.
To ensure a steady stream of these rewards, Monopoly Go regularly hosts daily events, partner events, special events, and daily tasks. These offer rewards such as dice, sticker packs, cash, and other boosts, which you can claim by completing the objectives on time.
Specific event types include:
-
Banner Events: Updated every two days; each lasts for two days.
-
Tournaments: Launched daily; each lasts for one day.
-
Partners/Racers Events: Held 1-2 times a month; each lasts 4-5 days.
-
Peg-E / Treasure Digging Events: Held 2-3 times a month; each lasts 1-3 days.
-
Flash Events: These encompass various specific types; about 5-6 rotate daily, with durations ranging from a few minutes to several hours.
Bank of Monopoly
Even during a Board Saga, if you have already completed at least 100 boards, Bank of Monopoly will appear at least once every ten boards; if it coincides with a Board Saga, it takes precedence in the sequence.
As a special board, Bank of Monopoly contains no buildings to upgrade and no special tiles that trigger penalties or mini-games; it consists solely of reward tiles and blank tiles.
As the name suggests, reward tiles provide only rewards. For instance, landing on a tile marked with a sticker pack icon allows you to obtain and open a pack, unlocking new Monopoly Go stickers.
If you land on a blank tile on Bank of Monopoly board, you get to roll the dice again until you land on a reward tile.
More Board Saga tips
As previously mentioned by EZG.com, the same Board Saga often reappears during a season, but the final chest reward can only be claimed once. This means that if you complete a Saga with the same theme a second time, you will only receive the rewards found on the board itself.
Additionally, all Board Sagas conclude when the current album ends. If you are offline when the event finishes, or if you are playing other modes but a Saga hasn’t completed it, all progress of this Saga will be wiped.
However, if you are actively playing Board Saga when the event ends, the system will wait for you to finish and collect your rewards before closing Saga.
That concludes EZG.com’s guide to Monopoly Go Board Saga. If any new Sagas appear before The Simpsons album ends, be sure to complete them in time!
