I finally received my car pieces from The Game Crafter. I am going to use these for cab stands in the game. I also bought a red die to use for the roll 3 portion of the game. I didn't think of it till later, but I think I want to get 2 black dice for the main dice.



I also noticed that the train depots from the Mega Edition look almost exactly like some of the hotels from Spider-Man. I guess they changed the back to look like where the trains go in?

So, I have been attempting to pull together a physical set of Ultimate Monopoly. The first thing I have been doing is trying to do is get the skyscrapers. For only US$3.00 I bought some Monopoly: The Mega Edition replacement skyscrapers (as well as hotels and a speed die). Also, I bought some hotels from the 2006 Spider-Man Monopoly as well as Monopoly Here and Now: World Edition on eBay. I am thinking of using some of these as skyscrapers for my version. I might paint them the same color--not red since that is hotel color. Maybe blue.


Left: Spider-Man hotels. Center: Mega Edition skyscrapers. Right: Here & Now hotels.

I also noticed that the Mega skyscrapers are bigger, differently-colored versions of some of the ones from the Spider-Man version. I think this design is reused in Monopoly City as well.

    I wouldn't care if this was fan art, but they are selling it and give no attribution. That pisses me off.

By far, Ultimate Monopoly is the most popular thing I've ever made that I have put up on DA. That said, I have, from time to time grown weary of it. Don't get me wrong, the fact that it sparks the imaginations of so many fills my heart with joy. That said, I want to do other projects and have other interests.

To all those who have commented or sent me emails, I apologize if I have not gotten back to you.

I am considering coming back to it. I want to do something I've never done before and create a physical set of the game, then I'd like to do a video explaining how to pull one together. That should happen over the next few months because it will probably not be cheap.

So, for now, I leave you with a few FAQs:

1. Will you create cards/title deeds/pieces that are available in X set?

The short answer: no. I really do not want to be sued by Hasbro. This is a work of fan art. I encourage you to buy the monopoly sets needed to complete the game. They are available on Amazon.com (at least in the US). I do apologize if these sets are not available in your country, but I don't want to push it.

2. Can you make a higher resolution version of the board?

I have, it's in my gallery.

3. I have a question about a rule!

I have never actually played this version of the game, so your guess on how the game mechanics would work in real life. That said if you have play-tested it, the best place to put rule suggestions in the comments of this journal article. I may or may not get around to them.

4. I sent you an email/left a comment. When will you answer me?

Again, I am sorry if I have not answered. Life happens. I will try to answer some of the comments/emails if I can. I am sorry if you wanted to make UM for a present and I never answered your question. So, the answer is, I might answer, but don't hold your breath.

5. Where can I find Monopoly: Mega Edition/Super Add-ons Monopoly?

Monopoly: Mega Edition
Super Add-ons Monopoly

That's all for now! I may add more FAQ's if I can think of them! Cheers.
