There have been a lot of strategy books written about the game, many analyzing computer simulations. But the books go way beyond that in talking about trading and the timing of trades as the keys to win. Trades doesn't have to focus on properties but inusrance, first right of refusal, future contingencies as well as barterings. I imagine tournament players, like Scrabble, go beyond how ordinary people (which tend to use 'cheating' and nonsence rules) plays.
