Monopoly Go fans! The first Tycoon Racers event is about to come in the all-new Bon Appétit sticker album called Scrumptious Racers, bringing tons of rewards, such as dice, cash, sticker packs, and collectibles with the same theme as this album.
The event is expected to start at 1:00 PM EST on September 3rd and end at 4:00 PM EST on September 7th, during which there will be 24 hours of team formation and 72 hours of competition time. Additionally, the event also allows you to participate alone and compete with other single-player players like you.
Since Racers events have always been an important part of players’ chances of getting super generous rewards, this guide will give you a specific introduction to the operating mechanism and winning strategies of this Scrumptious Racers Event so that you can be fully prepared in advance.
Event Mechanism
As before, Scrumptious Racers event will require you to form a four-person team to full all Monopoly Go Scrumptious Racers Event Slots, including yourself, to complete the three-day race within a specified time. Simply put, from 1:00 PM on September 3rd to 1:00 PM on September 4th is your team-building time, and you can complete the team by inviting friends or accepting invitations.
You can leave the team before the first game starts, but you do not have the right to remove other players from the team, even if you are the team founder. It is highly recommended that you have real-life friends who are familiar with the rules of the game as your teammates, as this will save you a lot of trouble.
If you really don’t have any, you can go to the community or social platforms to find some players who are in the same situation as you to team up, but please pay attention to your account security and avoid leaking your privacy. However, more and more people are choosing to explore solo in Racers events because they want to avoid all the hassles of finding teammates and the uneven points rewards that may occur.
The most important thing is that the time it takes to match opponents in a single-player match is much shorter than the time it takes to match players in a team, which is very important in a time-limited event. After you complete the team or decide to explore alone, you or your teammates will start to collect flag tokens, which are important props required to participate in Scrumptious Racers Event.
Based on previous events, these flag tokens will appear in large quantities in Monopoly Go’s single-player banner events and milestone rewards for tournament events, which are updated every one or two days. The board, Quick Wins, and Shop Gifts will also all provide you with some flag rewards after Tycoon Racers event is activated.
They occasionally offer sticker packs, but try to save them for when Sticker Boom flash event is active, as it doubles the number of Monopoly Go Cards in each pack. Generally speaking, collecting thousands of Flag Tokens before the game starts can ensure smooth exploration on the first day, and you can continue to collect them later.
After the team formation time is over, your team will compete with other teams of similar net worth and similar game skills. You will move your flag tokens on the board by points you can get from rolling the dice, and each roll requires 20 flag tokens. Just like rolling the regular dice, there’s a multiplier button that controls how many points you end up with and how much your flag tokens move.
Your flag tokens will bring you a variety of rewards after completing a specified number of laps, such as sticker packs, dice, flags, flash events, and cash. At the end of the day’s race, you will be awarded a specified number of medals based on your final ranking: 10 for first place, 8 for second place, 5 for third place, and 3 for fourth place.
It is worth mentioning that the number of medals you can get will be doubled on the last day of the competition. So if you have enough flag tokens, you can consider using them all on the last day to maximize their effectiveness. Most importantly, the remaining unused flags can be exchanged for dice for exploring other events.
After the last day of competition, the team or individual player with the most medals will receive the final grand prize offered by this Scrumptious Racers Event. After the final day of competition, the team or individual player with the most medals will receive the grand prize offered by this Racers Event.
Since the developers haven’t publicly released the final prizes for this event yet, we can’t provide a specific list of rewards. However, based on past experience, single-player rewards are generally sticker packs and a board token skin, while team rewards will include more dice.
Exploration Strategy
In addition to the strategies mentioned above for team formation and competition, it is also highly recommended that you effectively use the two boosting tools in Scrumptious Racers Event, Ball and Chain and Lucky Rockets, which will make your victory easier.
Ball and Chain will allow you to select an opponent in the game and add a brake to them, which reduces their score by 50% for a few throws until they break. This tool can be saved for the end of each game when you are in second or third place, as that is the best time to catch up.
As for Lucky Rockets, they will cause the dice numbers you roll on your next turn in the current racing event to only show 4s, 5s, and 6s. Combined with the higher dice multiplier, the potential for more points is huge. However, it’s important to note that you can only hold one Lucky Rocket in your inventory, so use them as soon as possible after acquiring them.
The above are all the details of the Scrumptious Racers Event currently launched by Monopoly Go from September 3rd to 7th. I hope that you can use the strategies provided in this guide to explore this new event with rich rewards more smoothly. I wish you a happy game!
