WWE-opoly Game Board - My Gift to You

[TerranRich]

I honestly didn't know where to post this topic, because it's kind of wrestling-related but not quite. Mods, please move if necessary.

Anyway, I started working on a WWE/Monopoly board game the other day out of boredom. I started playing around with ideas on paper and finally just gave in and created the title deeds (back and front) and the game board thereafter. Within 2 days, I finished the game board and title deeds. Everything on the board is hand-drawn. (I mostly traced over real images, because I'm not that good.)

Since I can't legally make any money off of it, I'll make it a belated Christmas gift to the forums. Anyone who wants to, can print it out at their local Office Max, Kinko's, or other printing place (20" x 20" with bleed) and mount it on foam board (cheap enough) with spray adhesive (cheap as well and easy to use, especially the ones that let you move the stuff around before it dries.

Here is a preview of the board (click to enlarge):

And right-click and download the .PDF file (223 KB) for the actual board: Game Board (http://www.xylot.com/public/wweopoly_board.pdf)

Here are the title deed sheets (four per page). They include the front and back. For example, print "deeds1_front.pdf" on the front of a sheet, and "deeds1_back.pdf" on the back. I've mirrored the cards so that the "Batista" card will have its respective Mortgage side on the back, and so forth.

Download them here: Superstar "Contracts" (Title Deeds) (http://www.xylot.com/public/wweopoly_deeds.zip) (761 KB)

Those can be printed on any home printer (8 1/2" x 11") on a glossy card stock or whatever is out there.

I have the Chance (Backstage) and Community Chest (Main Event) cards all planned out, but not done yet in Illustrator, so those will come soon enough.

I hope anybody that bothers to print these things out will enjoy playing my WWE version of the Monopoly game. I love wrestling, and Monopoly, and anybody who likes both of them should enjoy my variant of the game. You can even purchase an entire full set of Monopoly money for about $5 from sites like Amazon and AreYouGame.com.

Just keep in mind that I doubled all the prices, rents, etc., just to be different, but the colors are exactly the same. (For those of you that know anything about printing and graphical design, I even tried to stick with Pantone [PMS] colors, and all blacks should be "pure" black [C: 40, M: 40, Y: 50, K: 100].)

If there are any problems with embedded fonts, please let me know and I'll make the fonts available for download A.S.A.P. Enjoy! :D

LOL you are the biggest nerd this side of legend I have ever seen

[Nervous Ferret]

but I love you for it :love:

[TerranRich]

Yeah, I'm a nerd, with too much time on his hands. I seriously had nothing else to do. :D

[Blitz]

That's good stuff, but instead of "The Ring" for jail, might I suggest Velocity or Heat? On the "Go Directly To Jail" space, you could write "You've Pissed Off Vince, Go Directly To Heat/Velocity"

[Nervous Ferret]

Yeah, I'm a nerd, with too much time on his hands. I seriously had nothing else to do. :Dmasturbate? I can seriously hook you up w/ some porn sites, if it will keep your hands off this (and on your cock)

[Nervous Ferret]

That's good stuff, but instead of "The Ring" for jail, might I suggest Velocity or Heat? On the "Go Directly To Jail" space, you could write "You've Pissed Off Vince, Go Directly To Heat/Velocity"I bet you beat up old ladies after you steal there purse and there are only 12$, tissues and some crackers in it

[TerranRich]

That's a great idea, Blitz. At first I wasn't looking to make it smark-ish at all, but that's a great concept. I'll edit it and make it Version 2. ;) Thanks!

[Nervous Ferret]

Like if I gave you some money, from my wallet, would that help? Would you go outside?

[Blitz]

I bet you beat up old ladies after you steal there purse and there are only 12$, tissues and some crackers in it

I'm hurt by that, yet I can't deny it outright. :shifty:

[TerranRich]

Like if I gave you some money, from my wallet, would that help? Would you go outside?
Well ... no.

[TerranRich]

And to prove that I still have too much free time, here is Version 2 of the board, with a Velocty space instead of "The Ring"...

Dammit, my g/f gave me a quad latte from Starbucks where she works (four shots of espresso in a "medium" (grande) latte), and it's 3:45 AM and I'm still wired! AAAAAHHH!!! :D

[Extreme Angle]

:lol: i love it

[Drakul]

you should do the cards and prepose the idea to WWE. Might make a whole $20. :naughty:

BTW, your last name is Brum!? I loved that show when I was 3! :love:

[Blitz]

I expect royalties.

[D Mac]

Thank you Terran! I will not cry you another river. :)

[D Mac]

I think Carlito should be down where Baltic Avenue is.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Very impressive. I prefer version 1 over 2 though... I think the concept of going to "The Ring" is ingenius.

[Chavo Classic]

Terran, that is absolute genius. Why not seriously e-mail WWE with your idea? I think it's awesome.

[Volare]

then terran would get screwed by his idea and it would be sold by WWE for a shit load while Terran gets the Montreal Treatment

[Drakul]

Terran, that is absolute genius. Why not seriously e-mail WWE with your idea? I think it's awesome.
yeah I was being serious to about the preposal. Not about the $20 though.

[Kane Knight]

Terran, that is absolute genius. Why not seriously e-mail WWE with your idea? I think it's awesome.

They would not run with it (Or the would alter it greatly), not give him any props, and probably have legal contact him with a cease and desist.

[NoRoolz]

That's excellent. Angle should be where Cena is though :p.

[Kane Knight]

He just went for the champs.

[TerranRich]

I went for a more neutral approach with the properties/superstars. I kinda went with the Power 25 and also crowd reaction. I know the right thing to do would be to put Boogeyman a tad bit higher, and Kurt Angle at the top, but I went a different route.

So yeah, I don't like the idea of going to WWE with this idea. They'd screw me over royally. I don't think they'd cease-and-desist me, because I'm not distributing the actual product around and making money off of it. I'm under the idea that if it's not used to make money, then it's okay. :P Naive probably.

[Y3J]

Breaking News!!!

WWE denies that their multi-million selling boardgame, WWE-opoly, was actually created by a nerd on a wrestling forum

;)

[Savio]

Lashley and boogey man should be switched IMO.

[TerranRich]

Eh, I personally like Boogeyman better than Lashley. I admit that was personal bias on my part. ;)

[Cool King]

Carlito should be swapped with Edge IMO.

Great game though.:y:

[D Mac]

When can we expect the Chance, Comm. Chest cards?

[ddpBANG]

Not to be a prick or anything, but you spelled Layfield wrong.

[Y3J]

This game is brilliant

If i was wearing a hat, I would take it off

[Jaton]

masturbate? I can seriously hook you up w/ some porn sites, if it will keep your hands off this (and on your cock)

No you can't, you piece of shit. That pass never worked. :foc:

[D Mac]

Terran, you should work on WWE Clue next. :D

[Drakul]

yeah WWE Cluedo would be interesting.
"Who killed (or just injured) Vince?"
Col. Musterd - HHH
Prof. Plum - Batista
Rev. Green - Cena
Miss White - Trish
Mrs Peacock - Undertaker
Miss Scarlet - Kane

replace the weapons with chairs,brass knuck, sledgehammers etc. and replace the rooms with the ring,locker room,car park, GM room etc.

[darkpower]

One thing, though: What about the Main Event/Backstage cards? What will those be like.

Maybe you could make a few cards that say "YOU'RE FIRED!", then make the poor loser have to pay a certain amount of money to bribe Vince to rehire you, or maybe you did something to cause X-Pac heat, and have to pay penelties in order to get them back on your side again (a certain amount for each fan you got, and a high amount for each sponsor).

[Kane Knight]

Shouldn't Mrs Peacock be Stacy? ;)

[Drakul]

*rimshot*

I was going by colours actually. Undertaker being Mrs Peacock cos she is traditonally blue, like takers lights.

[TerranRich]

Not to be a prick or anything, but you spelled Layfield wrong.
You're right, I just checked it on WWE.com. I wasn't really sure as to whether it was LAY or LEY, I just went with what seemed right. I'll get it fixed right now.

EDIT: Fixed on both .PDF files, but not the preview images. Just so everybody knows.

[D Mac]

When can we expect the Chance, Comm. Chest cards?

Ahem, Terran? *nudge*

[TerranRich]

Heh, I'm working on them right now. Thing is, there are quite a few vector images to draw. I just finished tracing Undertaker and he looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. I'd say by Wednesday or Thursday.

[Drakul]

Its weird but I cant see terrans latest post in this thread :wtf:

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah there are some retarded glitches in the forum Drakful, it will show up eventually

[Drakul]

I see it now. I knew it was a glitch, Nervous Fart.

[D Mac]

Any updates?

[TerranRich]

Yes.

I've completely redone the title deeds ("superstar contracts") because they were WAY too large. I measured an actual Monopoly title deed and made it the exact same size (even the same dimensions, like the colored box). Those will be uploaded when I get home today at 5:30-ish PM EST.

I had the board printed at OfficeMax and mounted and laminated, and when it comes in I'll let you guys know how it came out. I had to change the bright magenta property color because on my printer at least it came out way too reddish and almost flourescent.

I am still working on the Chance ("Backstage") cards. Those are going to be a little more smark-ish. ;)
