Hi Dark, Well, you are right there are many different versions of Monopoly with custom rules and changes in money. In the Star Trek and Star Wars boards I had instead of money they were called credits which makes sense. In the Lord of the Rings version there was a ring that traveled around the board which had its own special rules quite apart from the bog standard Monopoly you are familiar with. I have considered writing a few accessible versions of these Monopoly games as they are in my opinion a lot more fun than the bog standard Monopoly game.
