The Game, Lap #2

Feb 24th, give or take a day, I completed the MonopolyGo "Origins" Album. 

Took me a bit to burn down the Album Completion Rewards, and that helped sock up some stickers for "Lap 2" - the race to complete the same sets + 5 "prestige" sets before the remaining 30+ days (now 26+) expire. 

Unfortunately, when this happens you lose any of your extras, though - thankfully - you retain their star value for trade-ins for vaults. I lost quite a few extra gold-rimmed stickers, and 2 4-star tradeable stickers that I forgot to rehome. One of those I've since regained, with a lead on the other. 

Below, are my 26 sets, sorted by priority/focus for potential completion, not by Set number. Looking forward to a new shield :)

Then there are these, and I do think if I finish any prestige sets, "The Racecar" is the most promising...

Next up - Fever! has been pretty good to me. I've considered Sweet Success for Wild, and if I were to use it on a 4-star, it'd be Augmented Boss, as Monopoly VR is probably my 2nd best shot at a prestige.

Continuing onward to ones that were challenging last time, and no doubt would be again...


Monopoly Moments would be fun to finish because of "Cattitude" and "Flippin' Out", which are pretty relatable if you've ever played the classic game. Doggopoly might be easier than Game Awards or a few others, but I remember the bottom row was pretty challenging last time around, and with 2 Gold, I'm afraid that dog rides toward the back ;-)


I'm surprised that The Rubber Ducky doesn't come with a Gold Duck token. (Album 1 had a rubber duck token with a set. The whole album had a car, and the Prestige Album has a gold car.) It's a fun set, but so far it's the Prestige set in which I have the fewest cards, and with lots of 5-star and gold-rimmed action required, I think it's the least likely.


Now, we come to the ones I've wrapped up for the second time. By Set #, in descending order...


Continuing backward...


Finally, rounding out the album.
