Copyright issues.

These guys own the rights to the image.

Not sure what you guys do when this happens but there is a board already on the drawing board with the same theme....

Monopoly is a copyrighted board game from Parker Brothers(owned by Hasbro) You'll have to design the board so it is distinct from that property. (no pun intended)

There is a Monopoly draft in the recycling bin, look at it to gain valuable insight.

You should contact CAT and Hasbro first, though…?

and yes i do have another bord that i will use so i can not use the same names not even one or two?

here is the image i will use

this is my blank image

No, all aspects from Monopoly are copyrighted. It MUST all be original, made up by you.

so i would not even be about to use that Bord if i changed some colors. and names?

The board is okay, I'm sure you've seen a monopoly clone somewhere, the names of the properties, spaces, cards, etc. can't be used.

ok got it i will work on it thanks

do you guys like the game play attack only one way?

what do you guys think about territory names if i went with it being other maps names heres is what i have worked out so far

cc mongal would be where board walk is

and where the 2 cheep monopoly spots there would be doodle earth and classic. what do you guys think?

Have you already talked with gilligan? Maybe team up with him could be a good choice...

Anyway, i'm going to move this map in the ideas subforum, it seems a more appropriate forum for the actual stage of development.

[Moved]

This map has been moved into the Ideas subforum, as it does not meet the criteria for a Working Draft:

Drafting Room Guidelines

To be considered a Working Draft a project must be more than just an idea; a Draft should have a clear thematic focus, a plan for how the gameplay will work, and a basic image which should include:

1. Territory Labels - temporary names or numbers will suffice, and are always open to change.
2. Borders/Paths/Impassables - it should be made clear where territories do/do not connect.
3. Bonus Areas - where combinations/groups of territories will award a bonus, this should be indicated on the map.
4. Legend - speculative bonus values and explanations of any attack rules or gameplay features.

Draft images should not be larger than 630x600px (small image) or 840x800px (large image).

i have sent gilgan an pm he has not respond yet. sorry for putting the map in the wrong place this is my first map i have ever tried to make

i am currently try to figure out how to use gimp better but i am slowly getting the hang of it but i think i am most likly going to use the original board

The Mega monopoly and regular monopoly boards look roughly the same though.

board works better for maps that have simarlar themes this way

so can this be moved up or what am i missing?

The image is too big, maximum size for a map is 840x800. Starting to look better though.

Maybe make "free space" into "Farmer Field"

Maybe have anything in one color attack each other; another slight difference from the copyrighted game board

I think that I like this version much better, and It has a very different gameplay than the other one

I like it and fully support you in making this!

Call free space 'random map'
Personally i like the old version. Take some elements from it

If you want lines to go through the center of the board...have you thought about the image of cards lying on the board?
