OHMSS The Board Game

As a collector of James Bond memorabilia, I've always wondered why an OHMSS Board Game was never made. Since it's almost 40 years since the film was released, I guess they'll never make one, so I decided to create one of my own.
It's for up to 6 players, and using the events of the film (loosely), I broke the board up into 4 parts:
1. Trivia of the first 5 James Bond films. Using a dice to move your game token across the track, a correct answer (from the question cards not shown on the board) gives you $1,000 to use in the next round. The person with the highest dollar amount is Banco for the next round.
2. Baccarat. Using the rules of the classic card game, the winner gets to move first in the next round and is in charge of the cards.
3. Place your game token on any colour and receive a game card of that colour (not shown). Each card will either give you: a) a piece of Ernst Stavro Blofeld's plan, or b) a "Miss a Turn" card. You can move around the board as you wish (when it's your turn) and once you receive all 10 clues of Blofeld's plan, you can proceed to the next round, ahead of the other players!
4. Using a dice, ski down the slopes of Piz Gloria as you escape from the evil Ernst Stavro Blofeld (watch out for the grenades or you'll miss a turn!). Once you reach safety, roll a 6 to detonate your bombs and destroy Piz Gloria!
As I have used MGM Copyrighted images, I have linked a copy of the board for your perusal. I would really like to know your thoughts!

Since OHMSS is one of my favorite Bond films, I think it's a marvelous idea. I'd love to see some of the ame pieces as well.

I think it's a good idea, asio - certainly an excellent starting point.
