Do you have access to a printer and some time to make the games? I have Clue, Monopoly and some other board games that you can print out. I also have a Lord of the Rings version of Risk. (I didn't make that one. I found it online.)
If your school has an A3 (or larger) printer, a laminater, color printer, they have card paper and colored paper, then you can easily make up some nice game sets. But even if you just have a black and white printer and some colored pencils, you can still make something nice with minimal effort.
Clue is a really time consuming games. I'd recommend playing it without the board. Just use the cards.
I like to customize the games so that they use local places, photos of the students, etc. to get the kids more interested. When I play Monopoly (or other games that require money) I print up a set of paper bills and the kids that have been really good get their photos on the different denominations. Same with the Clue cards. You can modify the Clue board to look like a school (e.g. your school) instead of a mansion. You can put local places or monuments on the Monopoly board. You can change the Chance and Community Chest card messages. |

This would be great for one of my afterschool classes. Can you post those up in a zip file or something, and share the link, please and thank you? |

I'm not very familiar with uploading stuff to websites. Would you like to help me with that? |

No doubt...I am sure that if some lawyers had their way, a very large proportion of East Asia would be locked up for infringement. |

| If you think the copyright situation is bad in Korea, you have to check out China. They have whole shops full of pirated CDs and DVD. But the thing is, they don't look like the cheap stuff that you see for sale on the sidewalks of most major cities around the world. Other than the occasional error in the artwork the CDs look totally original. The DVDs are obvious because the text on the back is usually just a generic cut and paste description of the movie or it's random text. I've even seen pirated books there, exact copies of stuff from major international publishers. With those, you could find about 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 that had some kind of error due to printing (colors offset, pages not completely centered, etc.). I remember that it was cheaper to buy pirated textbooks than to photocopy them. |

Sorry, I should have been more clear, for some reason, I assume people know what I am thinking.
Any game you can buy at Homeplus, i.e. the ones you've listed here, will be slightly cheaper or equal in price on Gmarket. All the rest will be espensive to the tune of 100,000+ won.
I am specifically referring to Battleship, Clue, Double Trouble, or special editions/versions.
Even Yahtzee is near 100,000.
But, I will admit that there are plenty in the 40-50,000 won range. |

really? you really are a troglodyte 
anyways, there are a variety of free file hosting sites like rapidshare, can't say I've ever used them, but I imagine they're straight forward, though I also imagine you probably need to register and give them a buttload of info which will more than likely lead to a spam attack on your e-mail.
Possibly a better option: if you have gmail then technically you also have a google sites account, I use this to post any ppt's I use in during classes so my students can refer to them for future tests and such. The interface isn't the greatest, but it's fairly intuitative. I imagine yahoo also offers something similar.
as for google step by step
login or register (sites.google.com)
hit create new site
fill out the form (coming up with an original page name may be difficult)
it should then open the to your page which will be an ugly little template
hit the 'more actions' button
choose 'manage site'
select 'attachments'
hit 'upload'
then select the file which you want to upload
and voila you have now posted a file to the to the mighty web
the link should be: sites.google.com/site/YOURPAGENAME/YOURFILENAME |
