About McDonald's

McDonald's is the largest fast-food chain in the world by revenue, operating more than 40,000 restaurants across over 100 countries. The Golden Arches and the Big Mac are among the most recognized brand symbols on Earth, and the company is a textbook case of franchising at global scale.

On the Monopoly Online Board

McDonald's occupies a high-traffic stretch just past Jail. Statistically, players exit Jail and land in this region of the board more often than any other, which makes Cafés & Restaurants properties extremely desirable. A monopoly here can pay for itself within just a few opponent rolls.

McDonald's is at board position 11. Players reach it by landing on the corresponding square after rolling the dice from any earlier position, or by drawing a Chance card that advances them directly to a property.

Color Group Strategy

The first really lucrative color group (Cafes & Restaurants). Right after Jail, these properties get heavy traffic from players exiting Jail, and with three lots and modest build costs they offer one of the best risk-reward ratios on the board.
