As you may or may not recall, about half a year ago I tried my hand at creating a Futurama version of Monopoly. Not only one that would look good, but that you could physically play with, by downloading and printing. It would be full colour, original art, redone cards, cash, the whole nine yards. I was almost done before and then found out that all the cards I made were to small and had to be completely redone. I then gave up on the idea. However, I found all the stuff I did previous, and I know more now then I did then. Using what I had, and lots of new stuff (including new eps) I'm going to try again. This time, making sure it works right. I do however want to know what you think. Its easier and more enjoyable to get input from people rather than go at it alone. So.
First and formost: the board is done. I don't need suggestions for property, its finished.
Money. I've got a general template. I'll show you the look of one soon. Its going to be all heads in jars for the people on them. The blanks are up for debate, the others I definately want: 1: Matt G 5: 10: 20: 50: 100: Nixon 500: Al Gore
It does NOT have to be presidents, as you can see with Matt being the $1.
The Chance and Community Chest are now: What If? And Delivery. All cards MUST be in the form of either: What if... blank... so you have to blank. For example:
What if? You were impulsive enough to stage a daring daylight robbery on elephant back? Collect $200.
Or Delivery:
Make an intergalactal delivery. Proceed to SOUTH STREET SPACEPORT (*a property I made) to refuel.
So I need ideas for those.
Lastly, I need a replacement for Hotels and Houses. Something good.
Thats it for now. I have work to do.

Coolness. Nimoy on the 20$ bill? Cohen on the 5$ bill? Bob Barker is another candidate for a bill. Ron Popeil? Delivery: "You're hired to make a delivery to Omicron Persei 8. Pay $100 to reinforce the ship's shields." "Delivery to the Planet Of The Moochers. They take you out for a drink, pay $20." "You complete a delivery to Stombos 4. Collect your tip, $10." (well, it's funny if you've watched the cut scenes to Brannigan Begin Again)

Images, images, images. The Board: (Warning, File and Physical Size) http://www.scanartcentral.com/kevin/more/TheBoard.gif Money... Card... The delivery and what if cards are real SOB's. If you want them to look snazzy, you have to make sure each individual one has a nice look to them. Which means scanning a new image for every card. And theres about 32 cards or more total. Probably about 40 when I finish. And I have to test them to make sure they print well. Update on the Cash: 1: Matt G 5: David X Cohen 10: Leonard Nimoy 20: Jimmy Carter 50: Walter Cronkite 100: Nixon 500: Al Gore

Is the Carter Bill supposed to say "blank" on it? Also, the card you posted with Robot Devil.... it should be That's One Sin Too Many, not "One Sin To Many"
Forgive me for nitpicking. Just trying to make sure you have the best final product possible.

And here comes the English major! Omicron Persei 8On the board: do you really want that SkyOne logo in the upper-left corner of the Deliveries card spot? Dang, I was hoping for more mistakes.

Those changes sound good, will you just add a whole lot to the board pic at once? Also, I think you should change the Go To Hell square so it says "Go straight to Hell. That way it's a quote from the preacherbot too Still need a name for houses and hotels?

No, Danish. We don't use hats, dogs or horsemen in our Monopoly. If you mean the moving pieces, we only have cars.

I love the one about holding up the president of Nylar 4. What if?"You deposited 93 cents on your savings acount in 1999? After taxes you'll have 200$."

My suggestion towards the card would be to take the original Monopoly cards and Futuramize them.

Yeah, I was going to do that, to make sure they have a good balance of good and bad, and so on. But then I said screw it and did it this way. The Delivery cards, by sheer luck, are exactly even. 9 good, 9 bad, 2 neutral ones. I hope to have something similar with the What if, probably more neutral ones. (Those are like: Proceed to blank, go back 3, etc.) I'm working on the What if's. I have 6 done, and with the suggestions and what I had before, I'll have a good set. I'll edit this message to add the new cards when I finish 10 or so. Edit: 10 Cards. Find my glitches please, if any. I'm going to bed. http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-1.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-2.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-3.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-4.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-5.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-6.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-7.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-8.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-9.gif http://www.scanartcentral.com/futuropoly/Cards/wc-10.gif
