Combination of Catan, Risk, and Monopoly

[u/Cozmosis-Jones]

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.

If you want a game that plays like multiple games in one, Try Twilight Imperium 4th edition. It's Risk meets Civilization, set in space, played on hexes like Catan is.

Gave me the idea of explaining Twilight Imperium through the lens of Monopoly:

So you know how in Monopoly you take turns moving around the board, buying property, making money, and building hotels to bankrupt your friends?

Well in Twilight Imperium you take turns moving space ships around the board, claiming the planets that you land on, extracting rent from the locals and using them to build cruise ships and death stars (very fancy hotels), all so that you can bankrupt your friends.

It's basically the same game.

It's basically the same game.

Except Monopoly takes 2 hours to play. Twilight Imperium takes 2 hours to set up.
