Monopoly. But its a dungeon crawl. Every colour is a different type of beast with random tables so each time its different. Roll dice (with changing dex) and when you land, you battle the monster, if you win you own that region and can either rent it out to other adventures as a safe place, or for training or as a shop or… battle other adventurers.
Jail is a side quest off the board. Free parking is a trap that needs to be sprung. Chance doesn’t change. The railroads a transportation that costs. If you own all three of a colour you upgrade something. Or maybe hire minions. Community chest allows you to enter the centre of the board and partake in “village quests”
But ultimately there are no rules. So you make up why you can go 9 spaces instead of 3. And why you can buy three sections at a time or fight all of the monsters at once, saving the “monopoly kingdom” or maybe you play by the original rules. Who knows why you would do that???
Today I received an audio message from an American friend about how the game of politics in America is like playing Monopoly but every time you play the other player just gets all the properties and money and you lose, and why would any one play game. But every election the people are playing like that OR not playing because the rules aren’t adhered to.
D&D Monopoly sounds way better. Reinventing a tired old board game, weirdly loved by some.
OR
Monopoly but, you have hit points and you have to fight in prison. And sometimes you die and have to divide your riches between your children. Even the one you don't like. Or it goes through the courts and no one gets the money. Just the government. The player playing the banker also chooses who plays as the government. And thats a whole different thing.
