I am a detail oriented person. I love complicated things. This is a bad thing and a good thing. The annual Monopoly game at Safeway (& other stores) is just the kind of game for a person like me. My mom thinks I am crazy and she happily gives me all her game tickets each year. I did not start playing seriously until I officially retired. I had a detail-oriented job that kept me plenty busy. Now I can make this trait work just for me!
This year's video goes over the new board and a couple of other changes. I also give some tips on efficient play.
Included below is the list of rare pieces for reference, I will update it as needed. Feel free to comment with anything I have missed or any tips you might have.
Watch the video, go get yourself a board, do some shopping and start playing! Video length 12 min 38 sec.

Hi Tracy,
Hi Tracy,
I need only one piece on each one of all the prizes in the first two sections of the game board #301 to 392. Even the million cash and vacation home. I just went thru your 'rares' list and of course each one is there! How rare are these pieces ? Do you think it would be a good strategy of picking them up from different store locations? Thanks for your help !

Warren, I believe there is
Warren, I believe there is only one winner for each of those big prizes. There is a video on the app showing last year's winners and I saw the million dollar winner in that video. My family is helping me fill out my board and they are in Washington state while I am in Arizona. So far all of the pieces have been the same, commons and uncommons. I feel that the more stores you can frequent does increase your chances, but since it is such a wide spread event, you really have to trust your luck. I have won each year so far, nothing major mind you. Thanks for commenting
and good luck!
