The first MONOPOLY GO Golden Blitz of the Happy Harvest with Looney Tunes album is approaching, and two early Gold Stickers are at the center of attention: Honey, I’m Home from Set 13 and Rudy Root from Set 14. Both are 4-Star Gold Stickers that normally cannot be traded, which is why players who are stuck on either set are already arranging exchanges before the event begins. Community voting held on August 18 selected these two stickers from a five-card shortlist for the first Blitz of the season.
The exact Golden Blitz start time has not yet been confirmed through the in-game event timer. Some third-party event trackers currently point to August 21, but players should treat that date as expected rather than final until MONOPOLY GO displays the event. If you have an extra Honey, I’m Home or Rudy Root, keep it available instead of spending that duplicate before the trading window opens.
When Is the Next MONOPOLY GO Golden Blitz?
The next Golden Blitz will be the first one tied to the Happy Harvest with Looney Tunes album, which began on July 29 and runs through September 23, 2026. As of August 20, the featured stickers have effectively been decided through the community vote, while the precise start time remains the part players are waiting on. An August 21 start is being reported by third-party trackers, but the safest approach is to check the event icon and countdown inside the game before committing to a time-sensitive trade.

| Confirmed Start Time | Not confirmed as of August 20 |
Golden Blitz windows are limited, so there is little benefit in waiting until the last few minutes to search for a partner. The current level of advance trading discussion around Honey, I’m Home and Rudy Root makes this a good event to prepare for early. You can agree on a trade in advance, but do not actually send anything until the featured Gold Stickers become tradable in-game.
Which Gold Stickers Won the Happy Harvest Vote?
The August 18 community poll offered five 4-Star Gold Stickers from Sets 13 through 17. Honey, I’m Home and Rudy Root took the top two positions, putting them in line for the season’s first Golden Blitz. The result also explains why so many players are holding duplicates of these two cards instead of immediately using their extra sticker value elsewhere.
| Set | Gold Sticker | Poll Result |
|---|---|---|
| Set 13 | Honey, I’m Home | Selected |
| Set 14 | Rudy Root | Selected |
| Set 15 | Too Helpful | Not selected |
| Set 16 | Artful Apples | Not selected |
| Set 17 | Henhouse | Not selected |
The three cards that did not win are still Gold Stickers, so they remain locked under the normal album rules. Their appearance in this vote does not guarantee that they will be featured in a later Blitz. If you own duplicates, keeping them can preserve future trading options, but there is no confirmed schedule showing which Gold Stickers will be selected next.
What Are Honey, I’m Home and Rudy Root?
Honey, I’m Home — Set 13
Honey, I’m Home is the 4-Star Gold Sticker in Set 13, the Bee Trouble set. It is also the first Gold Sticker encountered as the Happy Harvest album moves into its more demanding collections. Because Gold Stickers cannot normally be sent to friends, a missing Honey, I’m Home can leave the entire set unfinished even when all of its regular stickers have already been collected.
Rudy Root — Set 14
Rudy Root is the 4-Star Gold Sticker from Set 14, Carrotville. That set also contains the regular 5-Star sticker Parade Day, so players working through this part of the album may already be dealing with several harder-to-find cards at once. A Golden Blitz removes the trading restriction from Rudy Root temporarily, creating a much easier route for players who already have a partner with an extra copy.
If you have one of these Gold Stickers and need the other, a direct Honey, I’m Home-for-Rudy Root exchange is the cleanest arrangement. Community trading posts are already full of players setting up exactly that kind of swap. Players without the opposite Gold duplicate are also offering regular 4-Star, 5-Star, or Ingredient Stickers, but those values are decided by the people making the deal rather than by a fixed in-game exchange rate.
How Does Golden Blitz Trading Work?
Gold Stickers are normally locked from player-to-player trading. During Golden Blitz, MONOPOLY GO temporarily unlocks two specific Gold Stickers, and only those two can be sent or requested during that event. Owning another Gold duplicate elsewhere in the album does not make it tradable simply because a Blitz is active.
You also need a duplicate before you can send one of the featured stickers. If your album shows only a single copy of Honey, I’m Home, for example, that card remains necessary for your own set and cannot be given away. A “+1” or higher duplicate count is what gives you a copy available for trading.
- Wait until the Golden Blitz icon appears and confirm the featured stickers.
- Open your Sticker Album and locate Honey, I’m Home or Rudy Root.
- Make sure you own at least one duplicate of the sticker you want to send.
- Select the friend or trading partner who will receive it.
- Use the sticker exchange option when arranging a two-way trade.
- Check the sticker offered in return before completing the exchange.
Golden Blitz follows the regular sticker trading system but keeps its Gold Sticker activity separate. The event has its own send counter, and players can generally send up to five of the featured Gold Stickers during a Blitz. Your regular sticker trades remain useful as well, particularly when a partner wants a normal sticker in return for one of the featured Gold cards.
Can You Trade Other Gold Stickers During the Blitz?
No. A Golden Blitz does not unlock every Gold Sticker in the Happy Harvest album. For this event, the relevant cards are Honey, I’m Home and Rudy Root; cards such as Too Helpful, Artful Apples, Henhouse, and later Gold Stickers remain restricted unless they are selected for their own future Blitz.
This limitation matters when setting up trades in advance. Check the exact sticker name and set before making an agreement, especially if both players have several Gold duplicates. A screenshot showing a large collection of Gold Stickers does not mean all of them can be exchanged when the event starts.
How Many Gold Stickers Can You Trade?
Golden Blitz provides a separate Gold Sticker send allowance alongside the normal sticker trading system, with up to five featured Gold Sticker sends available during the event. Since only the two selected cards are eligible, those sends can be used on any mix of Honey, I’m Home and Rudy Root duplicates you have available. Receiving cards does not require you to own a duplicate yourself, so a player missing both can still try to trade for both during the event.
Do not assume that an unused Gold trade can be saved for another Golden Blitz. The opportunity belongs to the active event, and the featured stickers change between Blitzes. If you have valuable duplicates and already know trustworthy players who need them, using the limited window efficiently is better than leaving all of your arrangements until the event is almost over.
What Should You Trade for Honey, I’m Home or Rudy Root?
There is no official market price for either Gold Sticker. Community posts ahead of the event show everything from straight Honey-for-Rudy swaps to offers involving regular 4-Star cards, 5-Star cards, and Ingredient Stickers. What matters is whether the deal helps both albums without forcing either player to give up more than they are comfortable losing.
- Best simple trade: Honey, I’m Home for Rudy Root when each player needs the opposite Gold Sticker.
- If you have neither duplicate: Offer regular stickers the other player genuinely needs rather than adding random stars just to make the number look larger.
- If the Gold completes a set: It may be more useful to you than another duplicate regular sticker, so judge the trade by album progress rather than star count alone.
- If you already own both: Use your duplicates to target missing regular cards or arrange trades with friends who can return value you actually need.
Gold duplicates also have extra value in the album’s sticker-star system because Gold Stickers count for double their displayed star rating when converted into duplicate stars. That makes a 4-Star Gold duplicate useful even when you no longer need it for trading. Still, spending Honey, I’m Home or Rudy Root before their Blitz would remove an option that exists for only a limited window, so it makes sense to wait until the event has passed before deciding what to do with leftover copies.
Should You Save Other Gold Sticker Duplicates?
Saving useful Gold duplicates is sensible while Happy Harvest still has plenty of time left, especially because another community vote or Golden Blitz may make one of them tradable later. The trade-off is that Gold duplicates are also valuable when exchanging duplicate stars for album rewards. There is no need to hoard every copy forever, but using a hard-to-replace Gold duplicate before you know the next Blitz lineup can close off a future trade.
A practical approach is to protect Gold duplicates that are still eligible candidates for future events and spend less strategically important extras first. The current poll demonstrates why: players who kept Honey, I’m Home or Rudy Root duplicates now have immediate leverage once the Blitz begins. There is no guarantee that every Gold Sticker will receive a trading window, so saving duplicates improves flexibility rather than guaranteeing a future exchange.
How Should You Prepare Before the Golden Blitz Starts?
The strongest preparation has less to do with Dice and more to do with knowing exactly what your album needs. Open Sets 13 and 14, check whether either featured card is missing, then look at your duplicate count. Once you know whether you are buying, selling, or effectively swapping one for the other, finding a sensible partner becomes much easier.
- Check both featured sets now: Confirm whether you need Honey, I’m Home, Rudy Root, both, or neither.
- Protect your duplicate: Avoid using a featured Gold copy in a duplicate-star reward exchange before the Blitz.
- Arrange trades early: Community trading groups already have players reserving one-for-one swaps.
- Confirm the in-game timer: Do not rely only on a leaked or third-party start date.
- Use secure exchanges: When dealing with someone you do not know, use the in-game exchange system instead of gifting your valuable sticker first.
- Check names carefully: Confirm both the sticker and the recipient before approving the final exchange.

Which Gold Stickers can you trade in the next Golden Blitz?

Can I trade Honey, I’m Home before Golden Blitz starts?
No. Gold Stickers cannot normally be traded, even when you own several duplicates. Honey, I’m Home becomes eligible only while a Golden Blitz featuring that specific sticker is active.
Can you request a Gold Sticker during Golden Blitz?
Yes, but the request is limited to Gold Stickers that are active in that Golden Blitz. You cannot use the event to request unrelated Gold Stickers from other Happy Harvest sets.
Is Honey, I’m Home or Rudy Root more valuable?
Both are 4-Star Gold Stickers, and there is no fixed official trade price between them. Their practical value depends on which card a player is missing and what that sticker unlocks in their album. If two players need opposite cards, a one-for-one exchange avoids unnecessary overpaying.
