Sigh. Alright. Send me your ideas and I'll compile a list.
If I get enough ideas I'll dust off the C++ Monopoly game I wrote (the
beginnings of) a few years ago, and make the appropriate changes to it.
Regarding the TAC squares, we also need something else to cover the Community
Chest squares. I propose "Event" squares, i.e. autocross/race/concours, and that
you roll the dice to determine the "Event inspector Attitude", with favorable /
dire consequences.
Go wild,
