I can confirm this is the only way I win at monopoly. My strategy for A$$hole is more devious and involves going from ass to president with a similar strategy to my monopoly strategy then making no one want to play again as president. As a great man, Charles Wopr, once said: the only winning move is not to play.
Is it well played if you simply decide to lie brazenly? Anyone can win at monopoly if they decide to steal from the bank.
