Transformers Monopoly

...or you could just play it with Attacktix pieces ;P

Then I would have to hack out my eyes and burn the board after defiling them with such horrid abominations!

Oi! Don't knock Attacktix!

Seriously though, turning Monopoly into a war game would further complicate the rules (Monopoly already takes a long time to play as it is) and it would also turn off some people who just aren't into that sort of thing. I suggested using Attacktix because the rules of battlefield engagement in that game is really simple (i.e.: launch missiles and try to knock the other piece over) - believe me it sounds simple but it actually takes some technique and strategy to pull off well in actual play.

The optional TF Monopoly rules allows you to attack any other player's property so long as they don't own the entire colour group for that property if you roll a double-6. Once you've challenged another player you both roll a die. The person with the highest roll gets control of the contested property. It's a simple and effective way of having "battle" in the game of Monopoly without adding a stack of combat rules to it.

There are other TF battle games already out there if you want to play something more combat-oriented - but I think that it would seriously disrupt the flow of a Monopoly game... and quite frankly in such a long game that would be the last thing that most players would want.

More combat/war-oriented TF games...

Yep, and thats why I mentioned them as being "House Rules". I didn't say that they make the game better. Since this thread was opened for general discussion, then I thought I would add a few ideas that I had about the game. It is of course up to the individuals involved as to whether thay want to use them or not.

Well if you can get a bunch of mates to agree to playing with those house rules, then more power to ya. Just don't forget to take photos to share with the rest of us!

My problem is finding someone to play Monopoly with at all, under any rules.... Problem with playing against myself is I often know what I am gonna do next...

here's my add-on

Last week I was playing TF Monopoly with some friends.













This guy seriously couldn't get over the fact that he literally owned Junk


He made a motza when three players landed on Junk!

I can just tell you've turned them all into Transfans. Once someone's experienced the world of TFs, they're hooked.
