Original post by loufoque Quote: But then again, Monopoly (the board game) has been around forever, is low on depth and complexity and sells like hot cakes even though the design is easily replicated. Ever heard of copyright? You can't simply sell replicas of Monopoly... (unlike chess, which is public domain)

Copyright? What is that? By the way, would you be interested in a perfect replica of Monopoly for half the price of the real thing?

Just kidding.

Seriously, when I say replicated, I meant either :

1) Home/Custom made and played in private homes.

2) Remade with a different theme and adjusted/improved rules. For example, Starcraft was a "replica" of the Real Time Strategy games that came before it.
