Basically every Hasbro board game ever made being turned into movies

...And then the two forces collide and just stand there and roll dice. Magic dice that result in epic explosions. It's like die duels or something. "I rolled a six, bitch!" And then suddenly you'd see a massive nuclear explosion, and then the surviving defender would walk out of the mushroom cloud, undazed.

And all the units are wearing colored uniforms. Also, the Eastern United States has declared war on the Western United States, and there's all kinds of crazy alliances, including but not limited to Mongolia, New Guinea and South Africa fighting against Kamchatka, Southern Europe and Madagascar. Also, those crazy Kamchatkans would build a massive land bridge connecting it to Alaska in order to invade, Greenland would have similar teleportation devices allowing instant access to Europe and America, and a massive tectonic shift will result in Brazil's invasion into North Africa.

Australia would always win, though. And New Zealand wouldn't even exist. It'd have sunk to the bottom of the ocean before the story even began.

I would pay actual monies to watch this. This is the shit right here.

"If you own a home and I own the bank that loaned you the money, then I foreclose your house!" "You see, I have a competition in me. I, and no one else, must own all the hotels, even the very streets they stand on. Because when I look at these investors and tennents, I see nothing worth liking."

I really want Monopoly to be There Will be Blood but about real estate.

[TheSparrow]

Wow....Monopoly actually involved in something exciting. So of course the movie wont be about this.

I have actually used this in arguement before. It works with just about anything. Ultimate capstone to a verbal curbstomp. "Go directly do your room! Do not pass go! Do not collect $200!"


Stretch Armstrong I am actually happy about. I remember as a kid thinking this would make an interesting TV show. But only if it was completely off the wall

The Monopoly movie is going to be a movie so long, that no one but the clinically insane will finish watching it. I've never played a full game of Monopoly, and neither has anyone else that I know. It all ends in tears.

The trick is rampant side deals to up the stakes dramatically and can bring out really creative deals.
It did, however, create a situation once where there was two players left, one owned 95% of the property but the other had deals to not pay rent on 90% of those. It was....interesting.

This really is the only way to play Monopoly.

Monopoly is like Risk, eventually you realize you cant win and quit. You could play it out but it would be a waste of time.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

How do you not finish Risk? Risk is like Diplomacy for people with no time. Even world domination should take like 3 hours top (except that one game where we were having a 3-way proxy war in Asia with 100 armies each and no one with the balls to open fire). People try to stalemate Risk, if you play aggressively enough, however, people will smell the opportunity and join you in killing the stalematers.

[Aerozord]

Whenever I play Risk it always ends up being basically a cold war. No one attacking more then a coutry or two a turn, everyone biding their time to make their assults, which they do but then only taking maybe five territories before hunkering down. Three hours is like bare minimum for us
