Boat Racing Monopoly

**amanda31684** · 10-12-2006

Hey all!

I am currently taking a graphic design class at my university, and our recent project is to re design a monopoly board on any topic or subject we choose. for those of you that know me, know that I chose to do my monopoly board on boatracing. This is what I have so far:

1.the expensive boats like boardwalk could be unlimited
2. the green could be offshore
3. yellow could be champs,120's,60's,45's and so on.
4. red could be inboards
5. orange could be drag boats
6. purple Stock/mod/pro
7. blue could be superlight tunnel
8. dark purple could be J

I don't know really the exact order or what boats to focus on, I guess that is where I need some feedback

Instead of railroads I was going to have race sponsors like amsoil,
hooters, bud light, but need some feedback on this as well

Instead of utilities I was going to have racing fuels or boat builders

Passing Go would give you $200 for a local sponsor

Free parking would be a good starting position or skip inspection

Go to Jail would be an inspection violation or disqualify

Luxury tax would be an additional entry fee or local fuel assessment

Community chest cards could be things like giving money to special
kids or breast cancer or etc

Chance could be move up a position and collect more money bc of a dq higher up
Dq for missing a buoy etc.

That is all I have so far

I would appreciate any help that I can get! I also need high quality photos. I do have quite a few in stock, and tunnel but any help in other categories to mix it up a bit would greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Amanda Hagerl

Cool idea Amanda!!

I can't remember how many space there are, but don't forget Jet River if there is space

You could also have chance cards that are like
Trailer tire blows out... Pay $100
Prop throws a blade... pay $100
Interviewed for TV spot/newspaper... collect $100

Rails roads could maybe be famous race sites? Dayton Hydrobowl, that race park in Arizona, Firebird Raceway? Maybe a florida place and northwest location to cover the 4 corners.

just ideas... Good luck!

If you end up with this as a illustrator file or something or clear photo of what you finish I'd love to get a copy so I could print out a full size copy make my own board when you are done!!

Thanks for the help Andrew

I espcially like the railroads being famous race sites, and the cards work well.

I am using Illustrator, so it can be arranged to get you a copy

Thanks,
Mandy

Sam LaBanco, Jr. is working on a video game and has some very cool looking boats....Maybe, the two of you could get together on the board design.....

My question might be, does anyone play REGULAR MONOPOLY anymore....??

Some thoughts:

Broadwalk could be Valleyfield
Park Place Blue Water Casino

Bearing away (Spelled wrong): Go back FIVE SPACES
Mised bouy: Go back three spaces....
Gearcase didn't pass specs, go directly to JAIL.....
Fuel didn't pass the meter....go directly to Jail, do not pass GO!!!
Cloudly day, SOLAR MOTOR didn't run. Lose one turn...
Missed driver's meeting, work in patrol boat for two turns...
Worked in Patrol Boat, gain and EXTRA TURN....

Keep GO and JAIL......
Pass GO, collect $2,000.

Hell, why would we need a broad game, we play this game every weekend..

Good Luck...

Remember Ron, for a couple of months every year it gets cold in some places of the country.

Wow. I thought I had it bad here.

Where is that at?

I will bet that we've got everyone beat on the amount of wind here. It just won't give up!
