Fixed in the version on page 20.

I thought of that too, but as gimil said it costs money for most people. The rough draft I made for this was before the shop, maybe we can change it to something to do with the shop as that also costs money.

And Gilligan and bryguy (you guys can fight over who gets this one ) we can change war expenses to deadbeats.

What you have done is created a negative association with having a premium, and now a shop purchase. You have equated it with dead beating, the only other -1 on the board. Its a subliminal disaster in the making.

I'm sure people will know well enough the - 1 is for cost of purchase, either that, or they know that in the real monopoly, it is luxury tax, another expense.

This really isn't a big deal But I think I would rather play the small version....
Only because it is much easier to read....
Yes, I know, its not really difficult either.... but It is easier

shoot gilligan, u beat me to it :lol:

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:32 pm**

bryguy, could you fix those coordinates i mentioned earlier?

Also, I'd just like to bring up the point of neutrals because they haven't been mentioned much and I'd like to make sure everyone is fine with them. Currently we have the neutrals we have are

All battleships: 2
Shop Purchase: 3
Free Army: 3
Deadbeat: 1

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:35 pm**

shop purchase should be 1 as well,no ones going to attack a 3 to lose 1 army every turn

Well its part of a continent, thats why we made it 3. But I can see how the argument can go both ways

I suppose making it part of a continent justifies a higher count, maybe a 2 on it then?

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:38 pm**

Thats a good comprimise, we'll make it 2 then.

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 2:57 pm**

Done.

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 3:12 pm**

Thanks gilligan...one more number to change (I always for get one, sorry) Dice deck needs to have the small y changed to 363.

With that change, heres what the small map now looks like with coords

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 3:14 pm**
