Because adapting video games into Monopoly hasn’t lost any steam, last year’s biggest fantasy outing has received much love from deviantArt user ~oddeh. The end result is a 20×20 Monopoly game that is ready for printing. An overwhelming reception has compelled dear ~oddeh to produce accompanying cards and coins. According to the description, this Skyrimed Monopoly board is printer ready though not a part of official Skyrim merch nor is it Monopoly licensed. Still, it’s a fine piece of work. Bravo! (*gives round of applause.)
The Inspiration Behind Skyrim Monopoly
~oddeh admits to being inspired by other recent reinventions of the age-old family game about cutthroat business. Both Fallout and Mass Effect Monopoly games were featured here at Geeky Gadgets before. And BioShock. All three have been floating around deviantArt for a while now, garnering much acclaim from the game faithful.
The Skyrim Monopoly board is a testament to the creativity and dedication of the gaming community. By incorporating elements from the beloved Elder Scrolls series, ~oddeh has managed to capture the essence of Skyrim in a format that is both familiar and exciting. The board features iconic locations from the game, such as Whiterun, Solitude, and Windhelm, allowing players to immerse themselves in the world of Tamriel while engaging in the strategic gameplay of Monopoly.
Expanding the Monopoly Universe
The trend of adapting popular video games into Monopoly boards is not just limited to Skyrim. The Fallout Monopoly game, for instance, brings the post-apocalyptic world of the Fallout series to life, with properties like Megaton and Rivet City replacing the traditional Boardwalk and Park Place. Similarly, the Mass Effect Monopoly game allows players to traverse the galaxy, acquiring planets and star systems instead of streets and avenues.
These custom Monopoly games are more than just a novelty; they represent a fusion of two beloved forms of entertainment. By combining the strategic elements of Monopoly with the rich narratives and settings of video games, creators like ~oddeh are offering fans a new way to experience their favorite franchises. This trend also highlights the versatility of the Monopoly format, which can be adapted to fit a wide range of themes and settings.
So…anyone ever going to put in the work for a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare spin on Monopoly? Imagine navigating through war-torn cities, acquiring military bases, and engaging in tactical battles for dominance. The possibilities are endless, and the potential for creativity is immense.
