Good news: Someone created a Monopoly board based on the movie The Princess Bride. And you know how I feel about The Princess Bride. And I have an Inigo Montoya on black velvet painting to prove it.
Bad news: It is not for sale. It was made by a fan. It’s like fan fiction but it’s a board game and it’s awesome.
Apparently the folks at Parker Brothers have yet to sync up with the licensing folks for the movie and the rest of us are left to sit in wonder when the day will come when we can bounce-tap our tiny six-fingered glove through the Fire Swamp and the Cliffs of Insanity. It’s like Parker Brothers and that guy in the top hat with the monocle are purposely trying to be mean to us.
Those greedy bastards.
I’m tempted to go rogue and put this in distribution myself. Or maybe it’s better to stay on the straight and narrow — perhaps take up a petition and start a campaign. Hrmm…..
I will totally sign that petition and march in the streets!
I wanna play…DYING to know what the tokens are!!!
This is too fabulous. Please invite me over for game night. I’ll bring snacks!
This is beyond cool. I now can’t imagine life without it. SADNESS!
You could certainly make one for yourself! We could all make them as fans and talk about what we use for tokens etc. This would go with my Dr. Who and SHERLOCK board games….. Mary Beth
This is the best thing I have EVER seen with my eyes. My regular Monopoly board isn’t going to last the night…
this is awesome! 😀
We can start out with “My name is Inigo Montoya and you must make this board game or prepare to die” 🙂
This is a great idea… and very doable, with the fabulous photoshop and printing services available. AtomPrints comes to mind, as they can create odd sizes… I just had fabulous wallpaper border printed from my photos. I digress. To the creator, I say, Thanks for sharing the idea!”. Christmas is coming and five GrandLoves would make an awesome theme, incorporating sports, music and hobbies. I “Like”!!
“Are there rocks ahead”
“If there are we’ll all be dead”
“No more rhymes now, i mean it!”
“Anybody want a peanut!”
I love this: Only Aunt Peaches could threaten to go ROUGE, instead of ROGUE! You Quack me up!
As Fezzik is my all time favorite fictional character, I second your emotion!!
PS-Silent reader for a while, finally expressing my love for your humor!! And I’m considering wallpapering my fridge & washi-taping shelf edges. SOLD.
Cheers,
