This. I've never been to this channel before, I just spied a link to this particular video in my sidebar and was instantly intrigued. I know the others well enough from partsFUNknown etc. but didn't really remember Dom much from their videos that I've watched, so I was basically viewing him _as_ Stalin here. Every time he was smiling while looking straight down the lens it felt, simultaneously, totally avuncular yet utterly sinister. I don't know if it was the words, the alternately genuine and mirthless laughter, the 'tache, the pipe or what, but he absolutely nailed that performance! Oh, and I would definitely want to see a 4-player version 😄

There is a commercially available (or was) version of Monopoly titled: Socialistopoly. I know, because I purchased it about ten years ago while Christmas shopping at a Sacramento, California shopping mall. I gave it to my adult daughter that holiday season. We’ve played it a few times in the last couple of years. It’s a lot like your Communopoly board game. But I think I like yours more! I’ll tell you one thing for certain, playing these board games generates some pointed questions specifically from young people who haven’t necessarily given much thought to what it might be like living in a communist nation. My niece and nephews played one evening with us and I swear if they said, “…no way, that can’t be true!” once, they said it a dozen times. Unfortunately, my sister (their mother) married a very nice but very progressively liberal fellow, so their children haven’t necessarily had the sad bitter truths of things like Stalinism and “The Party” and other nasty little facts of the real world explained to them properly. By the way, my brother-in-law (the children’s father) is an NYU graduate. Go figure.

[@Siberius-]

I wrote down the rules for myself and thought I should probably paste it into a comment. I filled in the gaps and changed various things to have the game make more sense, and be a bit less overpowered in parts, while still being fun and not for try-hards. I got rid of the win conditions since they're a bit complicated at times and so far I've never seen a house even be built, or smuggled money to the West retained until the end (which still may not change). COMMUNOPOLY (Stalin's glorious version of "Communism") Some set up: - Tax spaces are replaced by cards (now 8 card spaces all up). - A number of blank cards with 1 Trotsky. - Ideally the Soviet Union anthem playing in the background. Rules: - Roll to see which piece you get (just number and roll for all selecting). Each piece has its own ability. - All players start with a generous 1,000 rubles from the State. The State will not give you any more money if it means you then have over 1,000 rubles. - If at any point you have more than 1,000 rubles, you will be taken to a labour camp, and you will surrender all your assets to the state, you dirty capitalist pig. You keep your money (you'll need it), but if you still have over 1,000 rubles when/if you get out of the gulag, you will go to the gulag. - Every time you land ON Stoy! (stop), you receive your generous handout of 200 rubles from the state. If you PASS Stoy, you pay 50 rubles to bribe the checkpoint guard. If you don't have the money, you go to the gulag. - If you roll a double, 3 times, you go to the gulag (rather greedy of you), and they don't have to be consecutive doubles. - Every turn you remain in the gulag, you pay 100 rubles to the gulag guards. You cannot earn any money or build any further development, or own anything while in the gulag. Also if you can't pay the gulag guards, you disappear. - If someone lands on your property, but you are in the gulag, they must still try to pay you, but since you are in the gulag, that money will be redirected. To The State. - When you go to the gulag (unless otherwise stated), you can only leave the gulag when rolling doubles, but if you roll a 1 on any of those dies, you disappear. - If you disappear, all of your assets, cards, and money (including Free Parking money) are seized by the state. You now pick a new piece and start again with 1000 rubles (your next of kin). That person never existed. - You can smuggle money to the West, by first landing on "free parking", and then placing any amount of money there. After that, each full lap around the board back to/passed Free Parking, will result in 100 rubles of that money being successfully smuggled to the West. If you advance to another location through a card, that contributes to your lap (unless you went to the gulag, in which case you start the lap fresh once you get to/passed Free Parking). If any other player lands directly on free parking in the meantime, they keep your money as a reward from the state for ratting you out, and you disappear. The other person who landed on your Free Parking money can put their own money there in the same turn. - If you have property with a building on it, you can also smuggle money when landing there after doing a full lap. Only one smuggling attempt at a time is allowed. You can still be ratted out, which will result in you disappearing. - If you disappear, the successfully smuggled money will pass onto your next of kin (new piece), but Free Parking money will be lost (including with property). - When someone lands on a property and doesn't want to/can't buy it, there is no filthy capitalist auction. - The game ends when the last disappearance occurs, as there are now no next of kin/pieces left for the player to select. - The winner is simply the person who smuggled the most money to the west. If no one successfully smuggled any money to the west, then the Communopoly loss is shared equally. ___ Properties with special rules that you can't purchase from the State with money: The Kremlin (Park Lane/Park Place): - Through pure happenstance, you have gained a certain amount of power on the inside. You can now make as much money as you want, and Soviet leaders will look the other way. You also don't have to bribe the checkpoint guards. NKVD Headquarters (Mayfair/Boardwalk): - 1st time you land there you miss your next turn for questioning. - 2nd time you are taken in and quizzed on doctrine. Wrong answers send you to the gulag. There will be 3 questions. Just a load of really specific and obscure, impossible to know AND impossible to remember questions ALL about John Wayne (Stalin was a big fan). - 3rd time you disappear. No one was even there. Utilities: Chernobyl (Electric company): - This property is entrusted to you for free. You have to take it, but it can be swapped. If you do not own the Water Works, the power plant will explode in 3 turns (starting with your next turn) from overheating through lack of water supply, unless you possess the Water Works. If it explodes, the Electric Company is restored to the board, but all your properties are destroyed in the explosion and can never be bought or developed again. Anyone who lands on it during this time before it explodes, will be forcibly handed the Electric Company, and so it happens to them instead. If you lose the Water Works, the countdown starts again. You are not allowed to trade or sell or give away your properties to other players during this time. Once the Electric Company explodes, you will be put in jail for your crimes against humanity. If you end up in jail before 3 turns, the explosion will happen when you go to jail. Water Works: When landed on, this property can only be acquired by distributing all your properties (including mortgaged properties and not including buildings) to other people, as evenly as one can manage. If you possess the Water Works, anyone who lands on it has to give you all their properties (including mortgaged properties and not including buildings), unless they have no properties, in which case they get the Water Works from you. ___ NO CHANCE (chance): - Denounce your collaborators! (hold onto this card) If you are in the gulag, you can use this to swap your place with someone else. - Party Vanguard Take 3 turns in quick succession - Double Agent Swap pieces with someone else of your choice. - "Accident" You disappear after violently falling out of a window onto some bullets. - Siege of Stalingrad The Nazis have been encircled and outmanoeuvred. Take one of your opponent's properties permanently (minus any buildings on the property). It cannot be bought, sold, given away, or developed, unless you disappear. - Nomenklatura Advance to The Kremlin. If you pass Stoy, you do not have to pay a bribe. - Contribution to the State (keep this card) If you have over 1,000 rubles, you can just pay the excess as a "contribution to the state", and carry on. - Anti-revisionist Miss your next turn. - Go into Hiding Miss your next 3 turns. If your piece ends up on the same space with someone else, you disappear. - Tax Time You owe the state 101 rubles in tax. To help with administrative costs, you will not get any change. The state will also not help you with fussing around over exchanging money for smaller notes on this instance. - Best Seller! Your book is popular. Receive 500 rubles and roll 1 die. On a 6 you stash your money and burn your book before the NKVD arrive. You successfully deny all knowledge. On a 1, all of your assets are seized and you are shot in the head (pick a new piece). Any other number, you keep your money, but you go to the gulag. TO BE CONTINUED, IN THE REPLIES!

[@Siberius-]

- COMMUNIST TEST (community chest): - Trotsky or Notsky All players take a card but do not look at it. One of the players is now Trotsky, if they have the Trotsky card. When a player next lands on a train station, just that player flips over their card to reveal if they are Trotsky or not. If they are not Trotsky, they carry on. If they ARE Trotsky, they disappear. These un-flipped cards stay in play whether you disappear first or not. - Great purge! Everyone loses all their buildings and half their properties (rounding up). Rock paper scissors to decide which of you disappears. You must keep the Electric Company if you have it, because that's your assigned job. - Counter revolutionary You've been indoctrinated by the radical Bukharinists. Reverse your direction on the board (only you). - Cultural Revolution You all now go 'round the board the other way to how you currently do. - Show trial (hold onto this card) At any point you can call a vote to have someone in the gulag released, or disappeared. As the holder of this card your vote counts for double. If it's a tie, they stay in the gulag. - NKVD Prepare to be quizzed on doctrine. Wrong answers send you to the gulag. There will be 3 questions. Just a load of really specific and obscure, impossible to know AND impossible to remember questions ALL about John Wayne (Stalin was a big fan). - Blacklist You cannot buy properties or collect rent until you have made a full circle of the board. - Phone call from Stalin! Roll a die. On a 1, you disappear. On any other number, you can have a free property of your choosing, even from another player, but if you ever land on it, you disappear. - Beauty Contest A Gosbank error has occurred in your favour when processing your small sum of rubles for coming 2nd in a beauty contest. Collect 1,000 rubles. The State admits no fault. - Collectivisation Drive! Combine everyone's assets (including money and buildings) and redistribute them evenly. If they cannot be divided equally, players simply have to agree on who either misses out, or gets the excess. Failure to democratically all agree, lands everyone in the gulag. Buildings stay attached to the same properties, and the State will not take any excess, or exchange any currency, because that is not in the spirit of a collectivisation drive. - Secret Informant You're working for the NKVD while you have this single-use card. If you land on the same square as another player, you can optionally send them to the gulag (or wait for a different opportunity) and then put this card back in the deck. ___ Pieces: - Boot: You're a member of the proletariat. If you run out of money, the State will utilise its social safety net, providing you 1 ruble to keep you going. Unless you run out of money in the gulag, of course. Same goes if you can’t pay the checkpoint guard in full, ending up in the gulag. - Cat You're Spetsnaz GRU. If you want, you can roll a 1 or a 6 with 1 die, to force other players of your choice to take the consequences of any No Chance or Communist Test cards you land on. - Car: You're in the politburo. You can draw 2 cards if you land on Communist Test, and then choose which of the 2 you want. - Dog: You're a bourgeoise lapdog. You can draw 2 cards if you land on No Chance, and then choose which of the 2 you want. - Penguin: You're a spy, you can smuggle money to the West when you land on any owned property with a building (following the same smuggling rules). - Ship: You're in the Red Army. Rail stations are half price. - Rubber duck: You're one of Stalin's body-doubles. If you land on the same space as someone else, you can decide if you want to roll for a 1 or 6 with 1 die, to send them to the gulag. - Iron: You're a widowed babushka. You do not have to bribe to pass Stoy! Nobody pays you any attention. - Wheelbarrow: You're a Kulak. You can force a player to hand over the brown properties if they own them when you land on them (including any buildings already on the property), or you get them for free when you land on them if unowned. - T-rex You're an unreformed Old Bolshevik. You don't buy properties, but any owned property you land on can be seized, including any buildings already on the property. Any money you make is divided equally among yourself and all players, with excess above a player having 1,000 rubles, going to the State. Anyone can use the buildings to smuggle money to the West. - Hat You're a nepman. When you complete a collection, get a free house, you parasitic landlord. But you need to pay 150 rubles to the prison guards instead of the usual 100 rubles. - Thimble: You're a collectivised peasant. You only get 1 die.

[@RedFoxtail26]

I think money at Free Parking/in the West should remain where it is. That way, another player can collect the money left at Free Parking and report someone who "doesn't exist" (they go to prison, of course, for wasting the state's time), and money in the West doesn't get recollected by the state. (This could allow for an end condition where the state runs out of money!)

[@Ajyia]

That would also solve the problem where most of the game doesn't actually matter for the score. Money to the west as a permanent score for the player, then in the end the final characters decide how the money is modified, and that would probably turn what's currently a one-time joke into an actual, playable game.
