Board Game Clone?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Board Game Clone?

i see pong pac man tetris and frogger as game teeth cutting coding thats why there are so many of them
but i dont see the point of slapping said version on the net for all and sundry to play cos it might not be the best of the bunch by far

if it is never to escape onto the internet (or if it does dont say who you are) you could make a 100% authentic monopoly with all the cards coded in and shuffled
if no one outside of your lan can play it then hasbro(?) wont know about it
but if it were to get out then you are wading deep in it

but as i already said, if you are able to play it over the household LAN then perhaps you REALLY need to gather round the table instead ;)

working with existing game mechanics is good if you are planning on tweaking the rules anyway or making a "boardgame v2" mashup or whatever

eg the board game upwords built on scrabble literally if you as a player never built up onto an existing word then you are kinda playing scrabble, but i think both sides lawyers (if it isnt the same company) decided it was different enough to not go to town on

you can make risk but using the earth and our current boarders might be a no no (funny how the earth as is is copyrighted ;) ) but a new continent set and altered rules ...
