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.

Familiarize yourself with Foundry guidelines about creating maps:

Good luck.

You should contact CAT and Hasbro first, though…?

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

targetman377 · Post by **targetman377** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 10:35 pm

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.

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 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.

targetman377 · Post by **targetman377** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 11:44 pm

board works better for maps that have simarlar themes this way

targetman377 · Post by **targetman377** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 8:42 pm

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

RedBaron0 · Post by **RedBaron0** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 11:03 pm

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
