Cosmere Monopoly (Now Cosmere Domination)

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

In this Thread, we are busy at work Creating Cosmere MonopolyDomination. We have the Board and Basic Properties, But we need Pictures of Each Locations, about 60 Chance/Community Cards, Currency (Invesiture) and Pieces. Any Help You can Give will be appreciated.

 

Original Post

Over in the "You Know you're a Sanderfan when..." Topic, Kobold King Mentioned there not being a Cosmere Monopoly, So I decided to Make One. I Have the Main Board made, But there are still some Ideas that need to be Though through. And that's where you Come in!  I need to Figure out what to use for money, What characters can you use, (A Hemalurgic Spike, a Seon, a Stick, ect.) and what the Properties are.

 

I Want to use all of Sanderson's Worlds, Sel (Elantris), Nalthis (Warbreaker), Scadrial (Mistborn), Roshar (WoK, WoR), Taldain (White Sand), Yolen (DragonSteel), and Threnody (SFSFH). But this leaves me lacking one section, as well as the Trains and Utilities.

 

I also need to figure out the Cosmere versions of the Chance and Community cards.

 

Any Suggestions on this would be appreciated. I've attached the Basic Board as I Have it so Far.

I'm not much of a Monopoly player, so I can't be of much help, but this looks like a lot of fun! I'll try to learn and give my input. This will have to become a thing at Brandon's events! Let's hope Peter shows it to him if it gets finished!

[Gamma Fiend he/him]

"Go straight to Damnation. Do not pass Go, do not collect 200 Investiture"?

[Awesomeness Summoned he/him]

I think something like the steel ministry would work for the utilities. Maybe the Canton of Finance and the Canton of Resource?

One of the game pieces definitely needs to be an awakened rope or awakened sword

Edited April 18, 2014 by Awesomeness Summoned

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

@Clan, go Straight to Braize? Isn't that hell right?

 

@Wes Good Idea, unless someone finds something better, I'll go with that.

 

There are 8 Characters in Monopoly, and 8 Shards. I might just use them If I can figure out how to.

[PorridgeBrick he/him]

Maybe replace free parking with Shardpool? I don't ever play Monopoly, so idk.

[Khyrindor he/him]

We need to mass produce this

[Kobold King he/him]

Best. Thread. Ever.

 

Braize definitely needs to take the place of Jail. For the train stations, could we use different types of Investiture? Allomancy, Awakening, Surgebinding, and AonDor, perhaps?

 

Fortunately we have multiple different types of currency in the Cosmere. We could refer to the money as spheres or boxings or even Breaths.

 

If I am not mistaken, there are 8 different property colors in Monopoly. Since we have four major Shardworlds that have appeared in published works, could we use two property sets for each Shardworld?

 

Now I need to think of pieces... as I've said before, we absolutely need a stick as a game piece.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

How much does it cost to Pay Hasboro to be able to Make a Monopoly Game? And does anyone know how to make actual Pieces and Money and Such.

 

Characters so far; The Stick, the Spike, a Seon, Sandpile, Tear of Edgli.

 

Oh, Welcome Kobold King! I was thinking of using Marbles as Spheres or something. 

[Kobold King he/him]

Hmm, I'm not sure how much it costs to pay Hasboro. Is copyright law even applicable here unless we try to sell the game?

 

Marbles as spheres sounds awesome. We should also have a Shardblade as a piece. Maybe a chull or a chasmfiend?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Is there a Name for the Roshar Magic System that starts with A? all the others do. Allomancy, Awakening and AonDor. I'll use those as trains

 

As Characters lets use; a Stick and a Chull, a Seon and an Aon, a Spike and a Mistwraith, a Tear and a Lifeless. two from each world.

 

And what would be houses and Hotels? Splinters and Shards?

[Nepene he/him]

From wiki.

 

Parker Brothers/Hasbro now claims trademark rights to the name and its variants, and has asserted it against others such as the publishers of Ghettopoly.[224] Professor Anspach assigned the Anti-Monopoly trademark back to Parker Brothers, and Hasbro now owns it.[9] Anspach's game remains in print. The previous publishers were a company called Talicor,[225] but the game is currently distributed and sold by University Games worldwide.[226][227][228][229]

 

Various patents have existed on the game of Monopoly and its predecessors, such as The Landlord's Game, but all have now expired.

 

The specific graphics of the game board, cards, and pieces are protected by copyright law and trademark law, as is the specific wording of the game's rules.

 

So you can't call it monopoly, you can't use monopoly art, you can't use their rules verbatim, but otherwise you are free to make a game with similar rules. The patent has expired, which protected specific process.

 

A magics- artifabriation?

 

Houses and hotels. Maybe splinters and shardpools? Shards is a bit high level. Plus it's hard to tell what shards look like.

Edited April 18, 2014 by Nepene

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Splinters and Shardpools make sense. And good job on finding that Trademark Information. You Get an upvote.

 

Should we replace free parking with Empty Planet or Shadesmar or something? Because we can't use Free Parking

[Nepene he/him]

Thanks, glad to help. I'd really enjoy a game like this so I'd be happy to help with any work.

Free parking means nothing is going on there. We know of a world with nothing major going on, so minor that Hoid didn't even make an appearance. Threnody.

[Delightful]

Free parking = Dalinars stableyard?

Or to be creepy, Taravangians hospital?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Mr. T's Hospital? That would be Hilarious, But Nepene's Suggestion makes more sense. Threnody it is.

 

But I'll upvote you both anyway

[Nepene he/him]

If you wanted to be creepy you could make jail Mr T's hospital. Have the in the know player worry that something will happen to them if they are there for too long.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

So Properties, there should be 22 total, divided into 6 groups of 3, and 2 groups of 2.

1. Elantris:           Derethi Chaple and the Palace in Kae.
2. Warbreaker:    Safehouse, a Restaurant and Idris
3. Mistborn:         Main Square, Kredik Shaw, and the Pits of H.
4. WoK:               (Kaladin's Hometown), the Warcamps, and Karbrunth.
5. Elantris:           the Chasm, Kae, and Elantris (The City)
6. Warbreaker:    Court of the Gods, Lifeless Barracks, Pahn Kahl Province
7. Alloy of Law:    Police Station, Wax's Manner, Set Stronghold.
8. WoR:               Urithiru, Shinovar

The Trains are still Allomancy, AonDor, Awakening, and Asurgebinding.

The Utilities are the Canton of Finance and the Canton of Resource.

 

Any Better ideas? I came up with these in about 5 minutes, so...

[Kobold King he/him]

Can we make the utilities the Seventeenth Shard and the Ghostbloods, as two presumed world-hopping organizations?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Ooh, Good Idea. Wait, since when are the Ghostbloods World Hoppers? Gah, Nevermind. I'll find it. This Thread is Purely for Monopoly.

[Awesomeness Summoned he/him]

I think it's just theorized at this point base on Mraize's trophy room. It's up for interpretation if the ghostbloods in general are a world hopping organization or just Mraize.

[Tempus]

Here's my take on it. In order of approximate importance (as determined by book count?). The places listed are the main settings :

1. Threnody:        Forest of Hell, Waystop
2. Elantris:           Elantris, Kae, The Rose Palace
3. White Sand:    ***, ***, and ***
4. Warbreaker:     Idris, T'Telir, Court of the Gods
5. Mistborn:         Luthadel, Fadrex City, Urteau
6. Alloy:               The Roughs, Elendel, Field of Rebirth
7. Stormlight:      Karbranth, Shattered Plains, Urithiru
8. Dragonsteel:   *** and ***

The Train stations should be... not sure here.

The Utilities should be the Spiritual Realm and the Cognitive Realm.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

We can't really do Dragon Steal unless we're doing Liar of Partinel, and If we do that, we can use Partinel and Rens. White sand would be, the path, the deep sands and the Diem. Though, I think we should stick to the 4 Core Worlds, and Ignore all the Unpublished Material.

 

On train Stations, let's stick with the main Invesitures, and your Utilities makes even more sense.

[Edgedancer he/him]

How about non-Cosmere properties. You know, stuff like Georgibama. (I love that name)

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Georgibama? IS that from Rithamist or Alcatraz? I haven't Read those. And Property Wise, I'm going to stick with two sections for each of the 4 core worlds. the others will be refrenced in the Chance/Communitty cards. Which we still need to rename.
