Just finished the Nashcon Monopoly game. It is on a 7 foot X 7 foot board. Some of the photos below are of the big board on the floor with 12" inch floor tiles for scale. . To give you some idea of the size of the Monopoly game we will run at Nashcon, there are also photos of the playing pieces on a standard board, next to the tiny standard houses. The playing pieces are paperweights. The houses are blocks of wood painted green. The Hotels are from a promotion years ago. Nashcon is the premier event for the Mid-South gamers. Here is the nashcon.org to Nashcon.As our guest this year, Dr. Sam Mustafa will be hosting demonstration games of "Rommel". Most wargamers will know him as the author of games like "Grande Armee", "Lasalle", "Longstreet", "Blücher", "Rommel" and many others. By the time I run out the Monopoly game and once he sees it, I suppose Sam Mustafa will be wanting to play Monopoly and try for Boardwalk. Players who show up in top hats get first choice of game pieces! While the players will not be shooting at each other -- at least in this run -- backstabbing and betrayal will abound. Be a capitalist comrades. What fun.

Nicely done! And like the way you put the "new" pieces on the regulation board so we get a good idea of scale.

Back in the 90's, a fellow picked up a world map wallpaper, for pennies. He brought it to Con of the North, in St. Paul, MN, for the convention, using large checkers pieces for army markers, and played, Risk!, on it. It was very inspiring to see. Looked to be a blast, too. Unfortunately, he did not care whether the wallpaper map survived, or not… It did not appear to have done well, over the weekend. Pity, that. Looks like fun. Love the new pieces, the hotels, etc. Top notch! Cheers!

Up next… a giant Mousetrap Game. Players assemble oversized Mousetrap game pieces to build a trap to capture cheaters and rules lawyers.
