So this artist/jeweler makes a gold monopoly set worth $2,000,000.

First of all, why? No one can play or or it will get scratched.

And I remember when we did a "Pornopoly" game with LifestyleAmateurs in Amsterdam, they sued over it. Anytime you alter the board game, they want a license fee.

I know they're not going to sue since there's no tournament being played on it, but still, why the hell would anyone spend the time and money to make this?

I'm going to make solid gold Big Woody Awards.

Wow, I remember that thread. You and I were discussing the legality of making those pornopoly games.

My guess is that they're okay with somebody making a one of set done in gold but don't want to be associated with a porn promotion.

It's a show-piece and just a demonstration of what his company / he can do. He'll be knocking out different one-off board games for people with more money than sense off the back of it being shown.

I guess he was thinking about the $500 one they used to sell on the back of the Parade magazine and wanted to kick it up a knotch

the suing thing seems like a load of crap. Monopoly is old enough that the copyright has to have expired a long time ago. There may be trademark rights still, but if you change things enough they shouldn't be able to say anything.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
