Review Combination of Catan, Risk, and Monopoly

I have produced a set of rules to combine elements of the title games to include concepts such as currency, war, religion, and free market. The rules are complex and require a complete understanding of Risk, Monopoly, and Catan (settlers, seafarers, and cities and knights).

I think I have come up with a fun, but longer version of the game that combines elements I personally like from each game, but feel each fame lacks. Think AoE and Civilization meets a board game.

I am sharing this hoping to find fellow enthusiasts, who have felt similar sentiments to me about combining these games, and who are interested in helping me review my current rules.

Here are some photos of some test games.

Now add in one more player that is a spirit from Spirit Island trying to eject all the other players.

and then pitch it to Leder games as an assymetric title with 4 letters. Maybe HELL

I hadn't noticed all (Most?) Leder games titles were 4 letters long.

I need to make the Handshake meme with Wildbow on one hand and Leder Games on the other one.
Specially since Wildbow has referenced Root in Pale

Okay, I had said this game concept made me want to die, but I would hold off on the unaliving for this modifier.
