In Monopoly GO, shields do far more than look stylish—they’re your main defense against board attacks. During the Summer Escape season, players loved the tropical Palms Shield with its coconut trees and clear blue sky. Now, a more luxurious version is available: the Golden Palms Shield, offering an upgraded tropical aesthetic with a gleaming gold frame. Here’s how to unlock it and why it’s worth the effort.

How to Get the Golden Palms Shield

The Golden Palms Shield is tied to Set 18 – French Retreat in the Prestige Summer Escape album. The Prestige album only unlocks once you’ve completed the regular Summer Escape album in its entirety. From there, you’ll need to complete the same sets again to earn new and upgraded rewards.

Set 18 is the same collection that originally rewarded the Palms Shield. Completing it once more in Prestige mode will unlock the Golden Palms Shield. Alongside the shield, you’ll also collect bonus dice rolls and in-game cash.

Stickers Needed for Set 18 – French Retreat:

• Lavender Fields – Three-star sticker

• Tea Time – Four-star sticker

• Fresh Pickings – Four-star Gold sticker

• Market Mayhem – Four-star Gold sticker

• Pretty Picnic – Five-star sticker

• Steps of Vence – Five-star sticker

• Afternoon Nap – Five-star Gold sticker

• Velo Voyage – Five-star Gold sticker

• Gordes Provence – Six-star sticker

Collecting Rare Stickers (5-Star and 6-Star)

The challenge lies in getting the 5-star and 6-star stickers, as they’re the rarest. Here’s how to secure them:

• Purple Sticker Packs guarantee 5-star stickers. You can earn at least one each week through Quick Wins.

• Red Sticker Packs guarantee 6-star stickers and are awarded from Community Chests when maxed out.

• Trading duplicates with friends or communities is another powerful option. Don’t forget that Gold stickers can only be traded during Golden Blitz events.

Using Partners and Services for Faster Completion

If you’re struggling to complete French Retreat, collaborating with Monopoly Go Partners can help you collect rare stickers faster. Events like the Monopoly Go Partners Event give you more opportunities to trade and complete your album.

For even more efficiency, some players turn to a monopoly go carry service or even a Monopoly GO Partners Event Boosting Service. Others may choose to buy monopoly go partner event access for guaranteed progress. These options ensure you unlock the Golden Palms Shield before the season ends.
