This limited-edition item doesn’t just add a fun, nautical touch to your landmarks—it protects them from Shutdowns while offering a unique design that’s perfect for the Summer Escape theme.
So, how exactly can you get your hands on this coveted item? Let’s walk through the steps—and the strategy—you’ll need to unlock the Breeze Catcher Shield.
What Is the Breeze Catcher Shield?
The Breeze Catcher Shield is more than just a stylish addition to your board. It resembles a golden ship’s wheel, complete with vibrant handles, a bright blue anchor at the center, and pastel beach-themed stripes. Designed specifically for the Summer Escape season, this shield turns your city into a summer resort.
But aside from looks, it functions like any regular shield—protecting your landmarks from incoming Shutdowns by rival players. When you’re climbing event leaderboards or participating in a Monopoly Go Partners Event, having this extra level of protection can save you from costly rebuilds.
How to Unlock the Shield
To earn the Breeze Catcher Shield, you’ll need to reach Supreme Class in the current Tycoon Express track. This requires collecting 160 Express Coins throughout the season. While this may sound straightforward, it actually involves strategic participation in daily leaderboard tournaments.
Express Coins are exclusively earned through these daily tournaments, and the amount you earn depends entirely on your final placement. A first-place finish will award the most coins, while mid-tier finishes still offer a decent number to keep you moving along the track.
Pro Tips to Reach Supreme Class
Plan Your Rolls: Save your dice and rolls for tournaments where rewards are better and milestones offer Express Coins.
Choose Your Battles: Some tournaments have fierce competition. Focus on the ones where you can reasonably reach the top 10.
Track Your Progress: Know how many coins you’ve earned and how far you need to go. 160 is the magic number for the Breeze Catcher Shield.
Keep in mind that Tycoon Express is a seasonal feature and resets once the Sticker Album season ends. This means that if you miss your chance now, the Breeze Catcher Shield might not return again. If you're participating in a Monopoly Go carry service, having this shield might be the protection you need during risky high-roll turns.
