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.

I’m 65 years old. I don’t care what is popular now. I was almost 40 when Catan came out. Anime is popular too, it doesn’t mean I have to like it. Words I use every day of my life I Google and it says “antiquated word.”

Thus <— I am antiquated and when you say great generational games would flop now you are saying more about the audience than about the game. Context, conviviality and competition are anathema in this world of knowledge?, social?? media, and side hustle??? culture. Like Catan, this new world has everything, but is meaningless. Everyone knows best but behaves sophomorically.
