I didn't expect to care this much about a Tax-and-Utility banner, but here we are. Gridiron Run is live from Feb 4 to Feb 6, 2026, and it's the first solo banner for the Posh Pets season. If you're also juggling a Monopoly Go Partners Event or just trying not to fall behind your crew, this one's worth a proper look. The event overlaps with Pet Bowl Racers, so every decision feels like it has knock-on effects.

How the Points Really Add Up

This is a Tax + Utility setup, which means the scoring can feel slow if you don't plan your rolls. You get 4 points whenever you land on a Tax tile or a Utility tile, then your dice multiplier does the heavy lifting. What most people do wrong is cranking the multiplier whenever they feel lucky. Don't. Save your big rolls for when you're circling into the "Go" corner stretch, because that's where the board starts to stack chances in your favour. With two Tax tiles sitting close to that corner, plus Railroads and Chance nearby, you're not just hunting points for the banner. You're also setting yourself up for tournament progress and the occasional "oops, I got sent to a Railroad anyway" moment.

Milestones and What You're Chasing

There are 62 milestones, and you'll need roughly 43,475 points to clear the full track. That number looks nasty until you remember what's on the other side of it: about 18,205 dice rolls in total, which is a huge cushion for the early-season grind. The other headline reward is 2,630 Flags, and those matter right now more than ever. Pet Bowl Racers is running at the same time, so flags aren't just "nice to have." They're your fuel. If you're on a team that actually wants first place, missing these milestone tokens is basically leaving free speed on the table.

Boost Timing and Small Mistakes to Avoid

The sticker packs are fine for the opening weeks: two Green packs, one Yellow, and one Pink. Not flashy, but it's still progress. The boosts are where you can squeeze extra value. Builder's Bash shows up at milestone 18, so it can be smart to hold a few upgrades until it's active. Later on, there's a Mega Heist at milestone 52, and that's the one you don't want to waste on a dead bank. Wait until your board feels lively and your target list looks juicy. Also, try not to torch your dice when you're stuck in the "empty" side of the map. People do it all the time, then wonder why the event feels expensive.

Playing It Alongside the Race

If you're balancing Gridiron Run with Pet Bowl Racers, think of this banner as your supply line. Roll steady, spike your multiplier only near that Go-side cluster, and keep an eye on how many flags you'll realistically need for your team's pace. A lot of players panic-roll on day one, then can't contribute when it counts. If you'd rather lock in a smoother run with your crew, it can also help to plan around when you'll buy Monopoly Go Partner Event support so your flags and timing actually line up with the race window.
