Learn the winning strategy to defeat your relatives in Monopoly during the holiday season.

Are you ready for some expert tips on how to dominate at boardgames this Christmas? Look no further because Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert and national treasure, has got you covered. We all know that the holiday season can be expensive, so Martin is here to help us save some cash while still having a blast playing our favorite boardgames.

In his new ITV documentary, Martin Lewis: How to Win at Boardgames, Martin shares his secrets to success. From teaching school children how to win at Connect Four to taking on a Scrabble master, he covers it all. But the real highlight is his sure-fire way to win at the classic game of Monopoly.

One of Martin's key tips is to pay attention to the most common dice roll, which is a seven. This means that when planning your next move, you should be aiming for a spot seven spaces ahead on the board. Another strategy is to buy as many properties as possible in the early stages of the game. But not all properties are created equal, and Martin suggests focusing on the light blues and oranges for the best return on investment.

Martin also reminds us of some important rules that often go overlooked. Did you know that if you choose not to buy a property, it goes up for auction and you can still bid on it? And at the start of each turn, you have the opportunity to trade with another player. These simple rules can make a big difference in the game.

But there's one "rule" that Martin debunks – the myth of putting your fine money in the middle and winning it all when you land on Free Parking. This can actually prolong the game and lead to inflation. Martin's alternative strategy suggests buying one property from each set on the board, preventing your opponents from developing their properties.

In order to build houses and hotels on your properties, you may need to mortgage some of your other cards for extra cash. Martin's "biggest power move" is to buy three houses on all your properties before upgrading to hotels. This has been proven to have the best return on investment, according to Martin's research.

In the end, Martin's tips and strategies proved to be successful as he beat his producer in a game of Monopoly. But don't worry, it's not all about winning – it's about having fun and spending time with loved ones. So dust off that Monopoly board, follow Martin's advice, and get ready for a festive game night. And if you need any more expert tips, you can always watch Martin's documentary, available on ITVX. Happy playing!
