Dark Shadows Monopoly
« on: May 23, 2002, 05:48:50 AM »
Over at alt.tv.dark_shadows someone thought of making a Monopoly game with a Dark Shadows theme.  I borrowed their idea and drew a game board and accessories based on Dark Shadows.  This is just a first draft so I'm open to suggestions for improvement.

Bones, this is fabulous!  I'm still laughing.  Is there a coffin game piece?  Better go have another peak.  Dawn 8)

Very cute -- have you thought about making an actual version of the game, maybe adapting an existing Monopoly board?

This is great!!!  I got a huge kick out of everything, particularly the "candle tax" and the I-Ching cards.

Only thing I would change--Petofi instead of Ptofi.

Stuart is so right, you should definitely think about making one of these up.

With all the new versions of Monopoly out there this looks like something that may actually sell!  Whoever came up with it, should try to find a manufacturer.  I'd probably buy a copy of it myself.  Thanks for sharing!  Love it!!!  ;D

I know I would buy a copy of it. My family would insist on it. We play the Dark Shadows board games from the 60's. A Dark Shadows Monopoly game is a neat idea! I bet that would sell in the dealers room at the Festival. I have a couple of suggestions. On the game board where it says WOODS, change that to LIMBO WOODS. For the game tokens, Barnabas' Cane, correct the spelling of Barnabas. Otherwise, it's great, very creative!  :)

Loved it, especially the playing pieces.  I could see that on my game shelf  We would have to fight on what version to play,  DS, Star Wars, Disney... That is if we ever really had the time to play.
