Kerbal Monopoly

[jpem]

Good idea? Or great idea?

[FleetAdmiralJ]

Do we even have enough places/things to even make a Kerbal Monopoly board? heh

[deadshot462]

Pieces:

Rocket

Rover

Space plane

Lander

Jail: Eve.

A cardgame similar to Munchkin would be a better idea. Collect cards which represent rocket pieces and when an encounter (planet, moon, asteroid) shows up you can do an action where the result determines if you gain or lose cards. Different items would boost different stats which would be required for different actions.

[lammatt]

we have 6 planets (the 6 colors of different tiles)

we can have each color has 3 tiles: orbit/land/easter eggs

and each tiles can be upgraded:

orbit:

polar> for resources scaning to improve the toll fee for the "land" tile

equatorial> station (improve toll fee)>fuel station> (even higher toll fee )

land:

plant flag (more $)> mining station (more $$) > mining/science lab base (more $$$)

easter eggs:

gives income per turn

can be upgraded; and the number of upgrades available is the same as how many easter eggs available on the planet

(and each easter egg has a specific effect; like the kraken statue can kill other players ship stalling them for a turn)

there can be some special tiles like "chance"

eg. solar wind: every player moves 1square slower

Not enough IP. If places on the planets/moons had names that would work cuz you could use each planet/moon as a different color on the board and then the lots would be places on the planet/moon.

As it is, there simply aren't enough proper nouns to fill the board.

[Lazro]

For example: Eve's properties are "Purple bit," "Another Purple bit," and " The oceans."

[CleverClothe]

Oh God no. Please pick an real board game if this were done, like Settlers of Catan.

[Flixxbeatz]

Oh God no. Please pick an real board game if this were done, like Settlers of Catan.

Settlers of Laythe*

Map: 95% ocean, 5% land.

But virtually nobody would buy it. If you made a Venn diagram of those who play KSP, and those who know of Settlers of Catan, how many people would lie in the middle?

Yo! Right Here!

Board/Card games that could be KSPified:

FLUXX

Munchkin would be trickier - you need a LOT of gags for Munchkin. By release, probably. Right now, you'd have to dig into mods and Forum posters' IPs.

Monopoly: You'd need 8 "sets" - 7 planets and Kerbol. Individual properties could be Moons or recognizable features/Anomalies. - It's doable. Might not be great, but doable.

Empire Builder - would definitely have to be "inspired by"... Or you'd be recreating Lunar Rails. I'm thinking some sort of map of the solar system, not to scale. "Ferries", based on orbital positions?

Red November - hehehehe.

Circus Imperium - HAHAHAHA! Rocket Chariots pulled by Kraken, with Kerbal Gladiators... oh, I'm dying here.

...I'll stop with the obscure games now.

I'm thinking a Kerbal version of Galaxy Trucker would be in order.

Well I have my Space Truck on the Mun, is that close enough?

[minerman30]

There are seven bodies in orbit around the Sun, and 8 color groups on the Monopoly board, so maybe add Laythe as an eighth group. Any moons could be properties, and then things like the Moholes and oxygenated atmospheres could be as well. You could build 4 Landers and then upgrade them to a Base. There could be four Refueling Stations for Railroads, but any special monopoly set is only rebranded and the game mechanics are not changed. Definitely possible, and not very difficult.

[Trebuchet-Launch]

A Kerbal version of the old SolarQuest game would be better.

[Brotoro]

I was almost tempted to make a Kerbal Space Monopoly board just now...but why would I spend my time doing that when I could be playing KSP instead?

[1D-1()T]

That would be a great B-Day present for non KSP-ing friends, just to annoy them with our obsession even more.

Rolls 6. Oh no! I landed on "solid rocket booster explosion" again! Fined 200 Kounds Kerling! I'll never be able to afford a satellite on Eeloo now!
