Chris, That’s a great idea for the Monopoly Board. I really like your design with the drawer for the money and all the extra pieces. Super job.

did you allow for plexiglass on top of the board?

now that is nice
contact the board company—I bet they’d love to sell these for the extreme players—

Chris,

That is a great idea. I love how you made the drawer.

Is the playing board free to be removed? If so, then maybe it could be used for other games as well, assuming that they are ISO-compliant:-)

Oh, oh, oh! This is a great xmas gift idea. I know someone who would LOVE this. I would make the inlay area for the board deeper so that I could add a cover… maybe a sliding top?

Welcome to LumberJocks.

Great idea and a fun way to make a displayable game. Witha board liek that you can leave your game going for a very long time. Always wanted to do something like this with a Scrabble board.

Rustic, I did not leave any space for plexi glass. Chuck, no the board is glued down, I don’t know how standard the boards are. I considered making the plywood sheet that the board is glued to able to slide out. Perhaps have the back side be another board, or a nice cover when the game is not in use. I suppose if you could live with a thicker design you could store several boards in there and just slide them into a track.
