The idea I have for my toy project is a game similiar to that of monopoly. The players start from a set location and travel around the board collecting cards and beating each other out of the top spot in the game.

The theme of my project has changed from Futuristic to Underwater and finally I have decided to use Slums as the theme. It will take place in a "Futuristic Slum" and will be a very mature game for the older teen and adult groups.

My board game is designed to be a fun distraction to everyday life and make the usual worries of the average person living in todays fast paced world go away with humor.
