Scrabolpoly

I've been thinking of playing a cross between Scrabble and Monopoly (Scrabopoly). The game would be constructed on the architecture of the traditional Monopoly board game with Scrabble added as a tie in to add dimensions to the game (as if there aren't enough already). I've read reviews on previous attempts, however, they seem to rate poorly. What's more is that these games were usually based on the Scrabble board. I leave the forum open to thoughts on rules and on how to convince my friends to play (I've been trying for years).
