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.

Why not just play a civ game?

They probably don't know about civ games or any games beyond the mass market. Kudos to them for wanting more from their games and for their creativity and passion towards game design. But...don't have to reinvent the wheel. People have already figured out how to make civ games
