As always feel free to tell me if my idea sucks.
Some item types may be marked as "rare". For the items already in existence at the time this proposal is implemented, the Crystal Ball is rare and all other items are not rare.
Create a new color property, "purple". The effect of the purple color property is the player receives a rare item, randomly selected from all types of rare items that are defined in the rules.
The rules for determining the default color of a square will now be as follows:
- If the square number is a multiple of 11, the color is purple
- Otherwise, if the square number modulo 18 is 3, 8, 11, or 16, the color is silver
- Otherwise, if the square number is odd, the color is red
- Otherwise, the color is blue
(This is exactly what we'd have anyway, except squares 11, 22, and 33 would now be purple)
A player may not have more than one rare item in his posession at any time. A player who has a rare item may not perform any voluntary action that would cause him to receive another rare item. If a player receives a rare item involuntarily or by means of a purple square, he will first lose whatever rare item he currently has (if any).
Define the following rare items:
Name: Moldy Mush
Effect upon use: None (but the player still loses the item after using it).
Name: Coin
Effect upon use: The player receives $1000.
Name: Chainsaw
Effect upon use: Same effect as using an Ax, however the player does not have to wait a day before taking his next turn.
Name: Jetpack
Effect upon use: The player chooses any square on any board that has a number greater than 1, and less than the number of the square he currently occupies. The player then jumps to that square.
Name: Magic Scarf
Cannot be used.
A player who owns a Magic Scarf gains an extra 0.2 Mana Energy per hour.
Name: Clogs
Cannot be used.
Whenever a player who owns Clogs takes a turn, he will roll one less die than normal.
Name: Roller Skates
Cannot be used.
Whenever a player who owns Roller Skates takes a turn, he will roll one more die than normal.
Of course, if proposal #39 isn't accepted, ignore the parts about the crystal ball and silver squares.
