The Landlord Game

UPDATE 2026/01/15: 

THIS OLD AND POORLY PACKAGED FOR PRINT AND PLAY.

This is NOT a 3D Model. But I have added a very not fancy house and hotel stl.

If there is interest, I will re-package to be easier for people to use.

This is my birthday present to the world.

The Landlord Game is my attempt to free the Board game Monopoly. The Patent on the game (and its predecessors, like "The Landlord's Game") has long since expired. However, the length of the copyright means that the owner still has a firm control over how people can gain access to this classic game. To fix this problem, I decided to create a new board and assorted cards free from all the IP issues. My board design is inspired by both the original patent designs for both Monopoly and The Landlord's Game. Using Only Black and White to be sure that it can be printed and used by as many people as possible. Throw in a dash of the modern/older ages, and we are almost there. There are a few differences between Monopoly and The Landlord Game.

The differences:

The game is designed to be accessible to players of all ages and skill level. The way I do this is using multiples, the easiest skill is 1x this is designed for the youngest players. What I call the Normal level is 11x this should provide a typical player a great game. The last is called Big Money and its multiple is 103x and should provide a longer, harder game. This multiple is represented on the board and cards as x. i.e. "City Tax - Pay $7x" at 1x/11x/103x the amounts are $7/$77/$721. Of course, you are free to use any other multiple you want.
