So will this be an Aim High board or an overall FIRST board

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

yes, i have seen that on many websites. I also know that it is legal, as in no copyright issues......

and im not sure if it would be a general first board or 2006 aim high board...any thoughts?

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

General.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

I think you could do either. just every year you could change the peices and the background. Most of the propertys should be the same.

However a general one is a better idea. It just seems like its more universal.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

This is true. I have a game called "City Limits" which is the exact same as monopoly except the "Chance" cards aren't called chance and don't look the same and the properties are more realistically priced (20k, 40k, etc) with less realistic monetary denominations (20k, 40k, etc)

Essentially, the items trademarked are: Railroads, Chance, Property names, Go to Jail, Names of Properties and Utilities, Community Chest, "GO", Physical look of money, play pieces, and cards.

The other main legality is "for profit." Just like music and videos, you stay under the radar of the companies by simply distributing it to a small group for free. As long as you don't use the above trademarks, you have a 99.9999% chance of not being noticed.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

If you just distributed the game to FIRST members, I'm sure you could slip under the radar of anyone else seeing it and noticing similarities. Personally I think it'd be an awesome game!

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

did you email monopoly they probably will let you. They have alot of monopolys like starwars, and the simpsons. They probably would let you call it first monopoly

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

yes i have emailed hasbro, they said no because they have too many games out there with the opoly name....

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

that sucks. ive also heard that there are sites with a make your own 'opoly you could check and see how they do it.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

ok well this idea kind of died for a while, ive also been very busy with things lately....ok well id like to start working on this and dedicate some time to it and at least get a semi-playable version out :)

so anyone who wants/still wants to help post here ;)

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

I can start working on this again, but not for couple weeks. Like I said earlier I can do most of the programming.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

ok keep in touch via pm when you are available again........

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

I'll be able to really spend some time on this in December, but keep me posted. I might find some time before that. :D

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

ok well now if anyone can, i would like a list of "community chest" and "chance" cards you would like to see (note:these will not be the names of the cards), Please Theme them to the 2006 Aim High Season :)

examples:

Your team orders poof balls pay $200

Your crate is involved in a shipping accident pay $400 for repairs to your robot and crate



Now they dont exactly have to be 100% truthful, but try to stick to the theme, even a mix of 05/06 would do.....

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC
 

Or you watch from the stands fed-ex almost tip your crate over while moving it-until a mentor from our team who happened to walking by caught it...true story, im sure there are some other shipping horror stories out there but thats another thread

anyways
Overweight! you are disqualified...do not pass go, do not collect $200
or
De-score(d) tetra (queue penalty)
