On the Monopoly Online Board

Starbucks 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.

Starbucks is at board position 13. 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.
