To play monopoly with a MST3K theme.
Not everything needs to be overanalyzed my friend.

It’s ok Buddy, if’s for a show.
While It was not a plan, but more out of boredom during a long meeting today, I started actually plotting out a board.
Mostly what I want on it, with some parts from ideas thrown about in this thread. If I plot out the last 3 property groups before the start of the presentation tomorrow, I’ll try to share it.

Is this love? No. You’ve got movie sign!
I’d love to include shorts, but I think there’s so much material, they’d need their own board.

This is brilliant.
Being told if you’re not doing a licensed board, you don’t need those trademarked corner squares.

Of course, as you may have heard, they didn’t invent the game, and they lopped off the second round. The first round (the game more or less as we know it) was designed to demonstrate how miserable the existing system makes everyone and how unfair it seems, in contrast to the second round, where there’s still a winner but everyone prospers together as the economy grows.
So… There’s room to tinker with the game, and the earliest version is public domain.

Having watched the Q&A… Castle Forrester would be Boardwalk, and Park Place would probably be Moon Zero Two. I would also say the lowest value properties would be Deep 13 and The Master’s Home (because both are low in value when you think about it.) Also, I think Gamera would be a railroad.

Just saw this, Unfortunately was in transit to Vancouver Island during the livestream and look forward to watching when I get home in a couple days.

this was written 90% from memory
The railroads would be Union Pacific (or alternatively, Union Acific), Night Train to Mundo Fine, the Pleasant Journey Express, and the Cosmic Freight Train.
Properties from least to most expensive. I originally wanted to make that relevant but eventually just threw in everything I could think of. This is really random but enough ideas might be pieced together throughout it to do something real.

I would go with the two “best” movies on MST3K for Boardwalk and Park Place. Probably Marooned (Oscar-nominee) and Revenge of the Creature (part of a storied horror franchise).
The SOL and Pearl’s Widowmaker would definitely need to be game pieces.

Since clearly Clue is the better game, my proposal is for a Clue ripoff. And the obvious choice for this murder mystery game’s name is Murder Mystery Science Theater 3000. What’s in MMST3K?
SUSPECTS
This is a fairly simple list, the hardest part is there are only 6 suspects, so it’s hard to include everyone I want to include.
- Joel
- Mike
- Jonah
- Emily
- Servo
- Crow
or alternately, an all villains suspect list:
- Clayton
- Frank
- Pearl
- Kinga
- Max
- Bobo and Brain guy (they work as a team)
ROOMS
Rooms are the hardest because there are 9 Clue rooms, but there aren’t 9 locations in the same place, certainly not on the SOL (unless you count the rooms in the hallway from the Netflix era which I do not). So my rule for rooms is: at least one of the hosts has to have been in that location at some point.
- The SOL bridge
- The theater
- Outer space
- Deep 13
- Castle Forrester
- A box of hamdingers
- A sylvan glen
- A hot fish shop
- undecided: Jonah’s backjack or the Deep Hurting shuttle
WEAPONS
My favorite list because there are so many options. All my weapons are invention exchanges. There are six weapons in Clue MMST3K:
- Gutterbumbershoot
- Mech hands
- The baby seat lawnmower
- Disco cannon
- Incredibly stinky sweatsocks
- Mike’s Red Hot BBQ Sauce
Personally, I suspect Servo in the hot fish shop with the gutterbumbershoot.

A: I would just call it “Murder Science Theater 3000” (drop the mystery)
2: It breaks the “all invention exchange” theme, but a weapon absolutely has to be a forklift.
Cheese: I guess I could just buy your version and customize it.
To the Zazzle store!!!
