I have anyways thought about a Battletech Monopoly game, but it seemed to me there is not enough room on the board to make the theme work out. Then today I though why not just change the game board itself into a hex shape. Six sides would give each house a dedicated side, one side for the Periphery, and make the Liao side a little bit smaller by taking two spaces away for Comstar. I have to some up with the two card decks and prices, but it would look something like what is below.

Opinions?

I actually love the six-sided concept of monopoly for BattleTech. It is still monopoly, but feels like it fits into the universe!

There is only one problem though - it's Monopoly. That thing was designed to make as many people at the table frustrated as possible.

I mean, doesn't BattleTech suit the same purpose?

While Hasbro does own Monopoly as a game, they *will* license it to third parties to produce their own versions of the game, usually based on licensed properties.
So it's hypothetically possible that the current crop of people at Hasbro (who, let's face it, aren't exactly on the ball) would be willing to allow a licensed Battletech - themed Monopoly game.

I don't think dollar symbols are a thing in BT, are they? I mean C-bills are just referenced as 2,000 c-bills.

Actually putting a Mordel's Bar and Grill spot is a good idea.

Slowly going and replaceing the "$" with the c-bill credit symbol. Looking good so far.

Sadly, I do agree utility spot at best. And where you placed it looks like a pretty good use to me!
