If you're planning a last-minute push before Christmas, Cheerful Chase is the kind of banner that can quietly carry your whole week, especially if you're still hunting for Monopoly Go Partners Event for sale and trying to keep your album moving. It runs from December 23 through Christmas Day, so there's a clean two-day window to grind without feeling like you're squeezing rolls into random breaks. The best part is how neatly it lines up with Toyshop Partners, because you're not just chasing banner points—you're also topping up partner progress at the same time.
What you're really getting from the milestones
People look at the big dice headline first, and fair enough: clearing the full 62 milestones adds up to 18,205 dice. That's a chunky stash if you can swing it. But for most players, the real value is the 3,780 Partner Event tokens spread across the track. Early milestones tend to feel like freebies—small dice bundles, a bit of cash, a couple token drops—then the middle starts asking you to be more deliberate with your rolls. By the time you're deep in, the rewards finally match the effort: bigger token piles, occasional boosts like High Roller, and that end-of-track finish that hits hard with a 5,000-dice payout.
How scoring works, and why it can feel annoying
Cheerful Chase only cares about Tax and Utility tiles. Land on one and you get 4 base points, then your multiplier scales it up. Sounds simple, but it's not as "even" as events where you're chasing corners or railroads. Utilities are spaced awkwardly, and the Tax tiles can be streaky—one minute you're landing on them twice in three rolls, the next minute you're flying past for ten minutes straight. That's why a lot of folks burn dice here: they crank the multiplier, miss the target tiles, and suddenly the event feels like it's fighting them.
A roll plan that doesn't bleed your dice
The way to stay sane is to split your board time into two modes. Mode one: low multiplier while you're far from the best "density" zones, just taking steady rolls and letting the board feed you whatever it feeds you. Mode two: spike your multiplier when you're coming into the stretch where you've got the highest chance to clip value tiles close together. For a lot of boards, that's the run around GO where the two Tax tiles are relatively close, and you've often got bonus traffic like Chance or a railroad nearby. You'll notice your points jump without having to auto-roll for ages, and you'll also snag more tournament/partner value per burst.
Timing it with Partners so it actually pays off
If you're still building in Toyshop Partners, treat Cheerful Chase like your token refill, not your whole identity. Dip in, grab the token-heavy milestones, and don't be afraid to stop when the next reward is miles away. Saving dice for a better tile set tomorrow beats going broke tonight. And if you do end up short on album pieces while you're grinding, it's worth checking a rsvsr option mid-event so your rolls feel like they're pushing everything forward, not just one bar.
