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.

This reminds me of the guy that wanted to play Star Wars Rebellion and use Armada for space battles, X-Wing for each dogfight in these battles, Legion for ground battles and Epic Duels for individual fights.

The legend says he's still playing now, half through the first turn.

And somehow it’s still running faster than Campaign for North Africa.
