Okay, let’s talk about that “Gravy Train” event that just ran in Monopoly Go. Saw it pop up, looked kinda interesting with all the food graphics, so I figured I’d jump in and see how far I could get.
Getting Started with the Gravy Train
First thing, I tapped that event banner to see what the deal was. You know, check out the milestones and what goodies they were offering. Looked like the usual mix: dice rolls, cash stacks, sticker packs, and those event-specific tokens we needed to collect. The point requirements seemed pretty standard, starting small and ramping up quite a bit towards the end.
My initial plan wasn’t anything too fancy. I decided to just play like I normally do, maybe using a slightly higher multiplier when I felt lucky or when I was close to a target tile on the board. Those Railroads and Chance spots seemed key for racking up points quickly this time around.
Rolling Through the Early Milestones
So, I started rolling. Kept my multiplier around x10 or x20 for a bit. It felt pretty good early on. Landing on the right spots seemed to happen often enough, and I collected those gravy boat tokens (or whatever they were!) pretty steadily. Knocked out the first few milestones without too much trouble. Got some dice back, a bit of cash – the usual small wins that keep you going.
- Started with basic rolls.
- Focused on landing on event point tiles.
- Collected initial rewards like dice and cash.
Hitting a Bit of a Wall
Things got slower around the middle milestones. You know how it is. Suddenly, landing on those specific tiles felt harder. Felt like I was burning through dice faster than I was earning points. Had a few sessions where I barely made progress and just chewed through my dice stash. That’s always the frustrating part, right? When you feel like you’re just feeding dice into the machine.
I had to step back a bit, wait for my daily dice refills, maybe complete a quick win or two just to get a small boost. Didn’t want to blow everything chasing diminishing returns.
The Push for More Gravy
After rebuilding my dice pile a bit, I decided to push harder. The rewards in the later stages looked more tempting – bigger dice bundles, those purple sticker packs everyone wants. I started using higher multipliers, like x50 or even x100 when I felt a good roll coming on. It’s always a gamble, high risk, high reward.
There were definitely moments where a high-multiplier roll landed perfectly on a Railroad, giving a huge point boost. Felt great! Then there were times it landed just… nowhere useful. C’est la vie in Monopoly Go.
Wrapping Up My Gravy Train Ride
So, where did I end up? I managed to get through a good chunk of the milestones. I pushed pretty hard and got most of the decent rewards, including a couple of those coveted blue and purple sticker packs. Did I finish the whole thing? Honestly, I think I fell short of the very last grand prize. The point requirement got seriously steep, and I decided conserving some dice for the next event or tournament was probably smarter than going completely broke for that final reward.
Overall, it was a typical Monopoly Go event grind. It took time, it took dice, but I got some useful stuff out of it. It wasn’t revolutionary, but it kept the game moving. Collected some tokens, hit some milestones, got some rewards. That’s the loop!
