That's fair enough Tom, and indeed I wasn't suggesting you create something
like that, ---- since for a start Talisman has already been pretty bad about
stamping out computerized versions of their board games, (the scum).
It just sometimes irritates me that while games like Talisman are
intrinsically no less accessible than monopoly, there is no accessible
version made of them.
Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,
Well, while I would like to play some of those fantasy board games you
speak of myself unfortunately I would have to own it or at least the
rule book in order to make a software version of the game. Since I
don't have that and money is tight right now I have to stick to games
I know.
Cheers!

I'd most like to play some of the fantasy board games that are floating
around like talisman, which work like simplified rpgs or gamebooks with
basic combat, cards with special events and the like.

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.
Cheers!

Then again monopoly seems to have a lot of rule variation. When i
originally
played for example I always thought no buying on the first go around
the
board was an official rule and was quite surprised to find many players
didn't. It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice
important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in
players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously
they
will arive on the first few squares at different times.
There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play
with
that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card,
that
cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on
free
parking can take it, ---- though to me that one seemed just plane
crazy,
and
I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free
parking
in
real life :d.
And all this is of course apart from some of the whackier custom
monopoly
games with different rules and cards, ---- albeit I've unfortunately
never
really got to play those myself as (as usual), the only accessible
version
in braille is the bog standard original one.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
