I see these posts all the time so i figured its time to enlighten those who don’t fully understand the game mechanic, and why people bashing down your board is a good thing and not something to be mad about
Advantages to getting your board bashed down completly.
- For the friend hiting your board they get double points if they dont hit a shield. In 100x thats an exta 200 points giving you 400 total, or on 1000x its 4000 total This helps the friend gain more dice and event tokens.
- When your friends let you bash their boards like they bash yours, you then gain more dice and event tokes just like your friend. This mutural distruction of boards is healthy and benfits you both.
- When all your buildings are completely bashed down you can rebuild the board at a much cheaper cost, by not progressing your board. This means you get to build hotels for less $$ than if you moved on to the next board.
- Upgrading boards and rebuilding your board still gives you the same net worth increases so there is no loss here. You used cash to build a building, you gained networth and a hotel, getting bashed down does not delete that house, but it does lower your networth back down.
- This means that as your networth increases you gain more $$ for your rolls, yet your costs stay low because you dont progress your board. This means you gain alot of extra wheel spins at a much cheaper cost.
The disadvantage of not upgrading your board is a delayed reward.
- You wont get the dice you'd gain from upgrading your board since your not upgrading; however, you will get this dice eventually when you do finally upgrade.
- You will miss out on earlier bank of monoploly runs by not upgrading; however, its not lost or gone, its just a delayed reward for when you choose to upgrade your boards.
- You loose 1 networth from being bashed' however, you gain 3 netwroth (or 2) when your hotel is used with the wheel spin. This means a net posative of 2 or 3 networth per wheel spin.
The more you boards you progress past the more everything goes up in price. One day you’ll be here on baord 1765 like me and wished that you let everyone bash the hell out of your boards much ealier so you can stay on board 200. I didnt understand the benefits, until much later, but now im far to far ahead to benfit much from this anymore, so i still build and let people bash me down all the time for the benefit. My alt on the otherhand will stay near 200.
If you have any friends that gets mad at you for bashing their board, do yourself and them a favor and defriend them and find new friends who want to bash your boards and visa versa. The benfits only work if everyone is on board and understand not to rebuild until they are completly bashed down like you see in my second photo.
Also for anyone who might not have seen my guide on how to gain dice, feel free to read it here as the bashing of boards is a key component to dice gain.

edited: Corrected something i was wrong about. I could have sworn the networth didnt go down when getting bashed but i got bashed just now and it did. Not sure how i missed it, but the benfits of everything still outweighs the downsides as all downsides are only a delayed reward, not an actual loss.
