In the context of Monopoly GO (2026), Landmarks are defined as a core progression mechanic that players must manage to increase wealth and unlock new content.

1. Core Structure and Progression Goals

• 5 Landmarks per board: Each board (e.g., New York, London, Paris) contains 5 unique landmarks. Players must build and upgrade all 5 to the maximum level to progress to the next board.
• Net Worth Increase: Every upgrade increases your Net Worth, which boosts dice regeneration and increases the multiplier cap.

2. Cost Management Strategy (Fiscal Efficiency)

• Exponential Cost Scaling: Early upgrades are cheap, but in higher boards (70–80+), costs can reach trillions per board.
• Builder's Bash (Discount Event): A popular event that provides upgrade discounts. Optimal upgrade order based on discount: 40% → 30% → 50% → 20% → 10%

3. Risk Management (Defense & Threats)

• Shutdown Attacks: Other players can attack your landmarks, causing damage and repair costs. This may slow or reduce your Net Worth progression.
• "Empty Board" Strategy: Advanced players often save money until they can build an entire board at once. However, holding too much cash risks losing it through Bank Heist.
• Shield System: Shields protect landmarks from attacks. If shields are full, additional shields are converted into dice rewards.

4. Landmark-Related Events

• Landmark Rush: Limited-time event that rewards players for upgrading landmarks.
• Board Rush: Rewards players for completing all 5 landmarks and progressing to the next board within a time limit.
• Color Set Wheel: Completing houses in a color set allows players to spin a reward wheel.

In summary, landmarks in 2026 are not just decorative elements, but a key progression indicator that requires strategic financial planning and precise event timing to maximize efficiency.
