Monopoly Sudoku – Use the puzzle solver and play on expert.
Aces Up – I have another Aces Up activate, so I will wait and play it with this one.
Love Mono and wish the next airport would open. I don’t use any PUs during the time there isn’t an airport active. I learned last time that we lose all we won, so why spend the PUs to get more cash.
I really don’t like Aces Up, but I will play for the 400 pogis.

Monopoly Sudoku – I’m finished building in city #2 so it will only take 1 game on beginner to complete this badge. Actually it may only take filling in a number or two 🙂
Aces Up – Will take a lot more than 1 game, but it’s been so long since we had a weekly in the game I don’t care, and this is far from a favorite of mine.
Good Luck & Enjoy!!

Thanks Suz! I thought it was the score and you explained on the forum that it’s not. Just seems way too easy and I’ll take easy.
If Aces Up has 52 cards and have no idea if it does, that’s 12 games minimum. So nice to have a different game however long it takes
GL!

The score is just how many points you received, based on how fast you were and how many trophies you earned. The money earned includes what you got on your chance card(s) and the money you get for inputting correct numbers.
And with Aces Up it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. We get progress for badge either way. It will go a lot faster than if we had to win to get credit.
Good Luck & Enjoy!!

For Aces Up, I usually line cards up in each column the same way each time: black spades, black clubs, red hearts, then red diamonds, in that order. If I can’t finish the game using that order, I undo my way back to the beginning, and rearrange the order of the suits. You can usually win most of the time doing this. However, if the cards being dealt to me are all different multiple times in a row, I just redeal a fresh hand.
Try to put 3 of the Aces in a blank column as soon as you can, so you can preserve the airplanes til the end when you’ll really need them, but leave one column with no Ace at the base until the very end, so you can use this column to eliminate cards.
For Monopoly Sudoku, I usually replay the easiest level until I get the highest chance card reward. I use a puzzle solver to show me the exact number over the chance card location. I do that number first. If I choose the wrong negative chance card, I close out the game, and restart it. The sudoku answers tend to stay the same until you actually win the level, so you can enter and exit the same puzzle without having to input new numbers in the solver if you go back to the monopoly board and restart the same difficulty level. Once I get the desired chance card, I finish the game, and repeat, using the puzzle solver for the next new set of numbers.
The higher in difficulty you go, the higher the reward, of course, however, try not to get more than 2 negative chance cards. I’ve played on expert and have gotten all red negative chance cards. Don’t finish out the game if that happens. Exit and restart and hope your choices are a bit better next time.

Green, thank you SO much for the tip about the order of lining up the cards (spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds) in Aces Up! I think I’ve won every game using this strategy! = )
GreenT says
I’m so glad to hear that!
