View Full Version : "Factsopoly" - The FOL Monopoly™ Edition
'80sSitcoms 05-15-2014, 02:18 PM So I was hit with the inspiration to "Eastland-ize" the Monopoly game, and here's what I came up with; it was fun trying to follow the value of increasing properties, lol. I would love to make it look totally professional, but this is the best I can do with Excel at the moment, lol.
I changed "Community Chest" to "Blair's Luggage" ;) , and "Chance" is "Girls! Girls!", lol, and the four railroads are four modes of Eastland transportation. The "start" is in the bottom right corner, where the "GO" space is now "Eastland Gates".
Utilities are marked with tildes (~), and the "railroads" (transportations) with asterisks (*).
Playing Pieces (12 since there is one Deluxe Edition that has that many):
Mrs. Garrett
Blair
Jo
Natalie
Tootie
Nancy
Sue Ann
Cindy
Molly
Mr. Bradley
Miss Mahoney
Cousin Geri

RetroGuy2000 05-24-2014, 08:47 PM Love it! :)
MrCleveland 05-26-2014, 09:04 PM Great Job!
king of comedy 05-27-2014, 06:17 AM interesting.
'80sSitcoms 05-29-2014, 08:56 AM Thanks guys...and when we play I get the Cindy piece! :D lol
RetroGuy2000 06-01-2014, 04:53 AM Since you already took Cindy, I'll take Sue Ann. Then we can race around the board! ;)
'80sSitcoms 06-02-2014, 08:07 AM ^---bwahaha! :lol:
I'll get the stopwatch! :D
ABlairican Pie 06-03-2014, 11:02 AM This looks very interesting!! I can hardly wait to play!!
'80sSitcoms 09-16-2014, 02:44 PM Is it too late to get this game included in the complete series box set as a packed-in bonus feature? :lol:
'80sSitcoms 09-20-2018, 09:53 AM :2bumping for Lorimar, as he might be interested to see this too, lol.
And also, come to think of it, Monopoly has objects as playing pieces, not people. So, instead of 12 characters, an alternative of 12 Eastland playing pieces could be:
Straw hat
Jump rope
Umbrella
Camera
Roller skate
Lipstick
Joke book
Stopwatch
Sewing machine
Wrench
Plush tiger
Pay phone

Thanks! Love these board games you made! Any others? Since you already picked Cindy and Retro has Sue Ann, I'll take Nancy to round out the longer running lost girls.

And Nancy is the only Lost Girl whose property lot goes around past the first corner! (I thought that very fitting since Felice was the first one hired, and the first one cut, and Nancy was the first character we came to really know---so Nancy Olson deserves that honor)
Any others?
Those are the only two I've manufactured and "released" on here, lol.

Since I've had Sue Ann for a couple of years now, I'm happy to trade her to you for Nancy, Lorimar. Then you get your favorite Lost Girl, and we're all happy!

Wooo! Yay! :D
'80sSitcoms 09-21-2018, 09:34 AM Wooo! Yay! :D
I'm trading in my 2 houses on Miss Mahoney for 1 dorm; you owe me 100 bucks, Lorimar! :p

Lorimar, trade me your Housemother's Room for my Headmaster's Office. Then we'll both have a monopoly!

He can't at the moment; he's in the basement! :lol:
"Go to the basement. Go directly to the basement. Do not pass the Eastland gates, do not collect 200 Blair Bucks". lol
Lorimar Television 09-22-2018, 05:04 PM LOL when can I get out?
RetroGuy2000 09-22-2018, 07:47 PM Just roll a double!

cfr1970 03-20-2020, 07:05 PM It's really cool! How come everyone wants to be one of the Lost Girls? No love for the Core Four?! I'll pick Blair since (at this time) she's my favorite...though I reserve the right to change at any time!! Though y'all can always have Natalie lol.
'80sSitcoms 03-20-2020, 08:33 PM It's really cool!
