Monopoly GO's Wild Sticker: A Game Changer for Sticker Collectors
Monopoly GO, the mobile adaptation of the classic board game, has introduced a game-changing element: the Wild Sticker. This unique item allows players to bypass the randomness of traditional sticker packs, offering a targeted approach to completing sticker sets and albums.
Understanding the Wild Sticker
The Wild Sticker is a powerful tool enabling players to select any missing sticker from their current album. This includes both tradeable and the highly coveted, typically difficult-to-obtain, non-tradeable Gold Stickers. It significantly alters the game's dynamics, shifting the focus from luck to strategic selection.
Utilizing the Wild Sticker
Upon receiving a Wild Sticker, players are presented with a list of their missing stickers. They can choose any sticker, regardless of rarity (four-star, five-star, or Gold), to add to their collection. Completing a set or the entire album with a Wild Sticker grants rewards comparable to those earned from regular sticker packs. However, the selection is final; players cannot change their choice once made. Furthermore, Wild Stickers cannot be saved for later use; the selection must be made immediately.
Is Purchasing Wild Stickers a Wise Investment?
Scopely frequently offers discounted Wild Stickers, particularly towards the end of an album's completion. This can be advantageous when only a few stickers remain, especially considering the time saved in acquiring the final pieces and claiming the grand prize. Weigh the cost against the time saved and the value of completing the album. If all other avenues have been exhausted and only one or two stickers are needed, purchasing a Wild Sticker might be a worthwhile strategic move.
