Whether you’re a fan of the current hottest board game Monopoly Go or the long-standing Marvel Cinematic Universe, you’ll be familiar with their collaboration last year. Now, to celebrate the return of Marvel’s first family, they’re collaborating again!
The collaboration is primarily intended to promote the upcoming Marvel Studios film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is due for release on July 25 and will see Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch return to the big screen to battle Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
The event officially entered the game on July 13. Although it is clear that Monopoly Go is using the influence of the film and television industry to promote a large-scale publicity and expand its player base, this does not cause a lot of negative comments.
Mainly because the game’s developers have also performed very well in previous collaborations with Marvel and Star Wars, launching a lot of themed collectibles, such as Monopoly Go cards, board tokens, shield skins, etc.
Similarly, in this crossover event, Monopoly Go also brings many exciting and exciting mini-games and exclusive cosmetic collectibles inspired by Fantastic Four to players and loyal fans of the film.
To make it easier for you to claim them, this guide will introduce you to some methods to collect these limited-time items and strategies to use in them to add some Marvel heroic atmosphere to your exploration journey.
Participate In More Mini-Games
The crossover event between Monopoly Go and Fantastic Four adds a lot of mini-games with this theme throughout the game. They are the best way to collect heroic collectibles. The following games are the ones you need to pay special attention to.
Fantastic Racers
It is actually a mini-game remake of Tycoon Racers event in Monopoly Go. In it, you need to use the racing tokens by rolling the dice and compete with other players at the top of the leaderboard.
The first prize of Fantastic Racers mini-game is a Human Torch Token and a treasure chest containing a Wild Sticker or a Swap Pack. It’s important to note that in Tycoon Racers you’ll need to work with other players, but in Fantastic Racers you’ll be competing alone.
Also, while your Wild Sticker or Swap Pack will make it easier to collect the currently active Monopoly Go Summer Escape Sticker Album, try to keep them for when flash events like Sticker Boom are active, which can provide you with some buffs.
Fantastic Partners
In Fantastic Partners mini-game, just like taking part in a regular Partner Event, you will need to find the most active and familiar players on your friends list, team up with them, and build landmarks on the board to earn the corresponding rewards.
Once you complete all the building tasks, you’ll receive The Thing Token, a Fantastic Four themed emoji, and a Wild Sticker/Swap Pack.
Likewise, in order to increase the chances of spinning the wheel more, you also need to try to ensure that your landmark construction is completed during Wheel Boost flash event, which will also provide you with some additional important dice.
Fantastic Treasures
This mini-game lets you enjoy digging for secret items with themes from Fantastic Four universe. Once you beat all levels and collect all the hidden items, you will receive your very own Mister Fantastic Token.
In general, the levels in Fantastic Treasures are more difficult than those in regular Treasure Events, so your strategy is similar: pay attention to the size of the hidden items in each level, make reasonable guesses about their locations, and dig boldly.
Peg-E Deluxe Drop
In addition to the above mini-games, Fantastic Four collaboration with Monopoly Go also brings you a unique Deluxe Drop mini-game.
While the gameplay and the strategies you can use are the same as Peg-E Prize Drop, you will also get some Fantastic Four-themed items in addition to some standard rewards, including Invisible Woman Token, exclusive emojis, shields, and dice skins.
While this mini-game doesn’t give you the all-important Monopoly Go stickers in this game, which can reward a ton of dice and cash after collecting all, the other collectibles it rewards you with are very valuable, so it is well worth your exploration.
Follow Community Events & Challenges
Like Monopoly Go’s themed Community Challenges for Star Wars, players can also earn rewards by teaming up with other players around the world to achieve common goals in specific channels on social media, such as Discord.
These tasks are usually very simple, such as landing on a certain block, completing a construction, or reaching a milestone score, and they don’t take too much time. But if you stay active, your chances of getting Fantastic Four collectibles will be higher.
Giveaways
Although this collection method is very luck-based, it is not without merit. You can stay active in the official Monopoly Go account in Discord or Facebook to increase your chances of receiving gifts containing Fantastic Four collectibles, free dice and Monopoly Go cards, etc.
These are some of the current methods and strategies for quickly collecting Fantastic Four themed collectibles in Monopoly Go. It is important to note that the active time of the mini-games introduced here is uncertain, therefore you should always keep an eye on the trailers for each game of Monopoly Go as well as the update procedures on social media and the player community.
Judging from the details of the board game’s previous collaborations with many important IPs in the film and television industry, Monopoly Go may satisfy fans of both sides. I hope you can use them to complete the exploration of this important event as soon as possible and enjoy a better gaming experience. I wish you a happy game!
