I'd just like to stick this photo of a friend and I playing TF Monopoly. But this thread can be used for anything relating to TF Monopoly - discussion, pics... whatever.

it's the same as playing Monopoly only with a Transformers theme. The streets are all named after known locations from Transformers fiction (e.g.: Iacon, Dinobot Island, Maccadam's Oil House, Autobot City etc.), the train stations are called Transports and include things like the Space Bridge and the Ark etc. and the utilities are things like Teletran-1 and Vector Sigma. Community Chest are Autobot cards and Chance are Decepticon cards - both require a tech specs decoder (included) to read them!

The currency all feature Transformers on them, i.e.:
$1 = Bumblebee
$5 = Soundwave
$10 = Ultra Magnus
$20 = Starscream
$50 = Prowl
$100 = Megatron
$500 = Optimus Prime

The tokens are all die-cast metal and are: Optimus Prime, Jazz, Bumblebee, Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream.

Houses are purple and called "Energon Cubes", hotels are the same but called "Anti-Matter."

The only rules which differ from standard Monopoly are optional Transformers rules which take effect if you roll doubles. e.g.: double 1 is "Transwarp Drive" which means that you can move to any square on the board. Double 6 means that you can attack another player's property in order to seize control of it from an opponent. Successfully conquering or liberating an opponent's property means that that property then belongs to you.

Removed off-topic postings about guns, hair, demanding proof of spouses and busty looking girls.
Some of those are not permitted on this forum, and others are just too irrelevant to be on a Transformers discussion topic.

I love monopoly, only problem being is no-one else in my house does.

Anyhoo, I wanted to add some "House Rules" to make it more Transformery. As I haven't spent much time thinking of any the only one I have so far is if an Autobot and a Decepticon land on the same space, they have to battle it out. Roll the die and the person with the lowest numbers has to miss a turn.

I am also trying to think of a way to include their Tech Specs, without giving Optimus and Megatron too much of an advantage. For example addtional movement etc etc.

...or you could just play it with Attacktix pieces ;P

That is a cool idea!
