Unicorns would be mage-types, in the back spellcasting, Pegasi would be the air unit, and Earth Ponies would be mostly shield-types - hold back the enemy, possibly with spiked armor, so the Unicorns can do serious damage.

...At least that's how I'd set it up. xD;
At this point, somebody needs to develop an SRPG featuring ponies. xD
I rather like the idea of the shield/infantry guys, though. Aren't they supposed to be abnormally tough? Or is that just Applejack?

Also, Unicorn ninjas. they could just stay outside and float something pointy through a window. >:3

There needs to be a Pony TCG of some kind. I would actually try and make one, and sort out the rules and whatnot as well. XD;
I would buy it. Maybe just a playing card game though. Something pretty simple, like Uno.

A board game would be 20% cooler though.

A board game would be really cool! I guess there'd be landmarks where each of the ponies start, the Library, Applewhatever Acres, Rarity's clothing shop, Canterlot etc. where you could get things. But how would it be played out? You have to compete for Grand Galloping Gala tickets and get to Canterlot to attend such a grand event?

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. There could be cards kind of like in Monopoly where you get to a space and do what's written on the card. Like: "Stop to clean up the library; loose a turn." I mean, it could also just be one of those first-to-get-to-the-end games where you roll a die, but those get boring quickly.

I was more thinking like Monopoly, as well as get to the end as quickly as you can. So you'd have all the main places, with Canterlet at the end. You'd have to go places in an order so pick up your Gala ticket from Twilight Sparkle, get a present from Pinkie Pie, get a nice dress/suit from Rarity and so on until you've gotten everything, and then you can advance to Canterlot. When I say Canterlot at the end, I mean it'd be like you start at the library and you do laps until you get all the requirements, and then head off to Canterlot.

I was also thinking have draw cards, like Monopoly's Community Chest and Chance cards, which could be replaced with Rarity Gem cards and Pinkie Pie Randomness cards, or something along those lines. Maybe Celestia and Luna cards?

That sounds like you'd be playing as either Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy or Applejack. Or some male pony since they maybe suits at Rarity's...

I'd make it so you'd play as both fillys and colts, so there's some differences. There'd be different colours and cuties marks and stuff. Those things I mentioned would be examples, as the main ponies would have events installed for them. So Rainbow Dash could be say, challenge her to a race, roll a 6 to win a random other event, or something.

I think maybe at the end of your turn you'd roll the dice and whatever it landed on it would trigger an event, like racing Rainbow Dash or maybe competing with Applejack to collect the most apples in the apple orchard.

See, this would make a good video game instead of a board game.

Kind of reminds me of Trivial Pursuit where you have to 'win' at each of six spots around the board and only when you do can you try to win the game by going to the center. So you'd have to win at Sweet Apple Acres, the Library, Sugarcube Corner, Carousel Boutique, and... some other places for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

I love the idea of Pinkie Pie Randomness cards.

Pinkie Pie in the kitchen with a knife! :D
Making Cupcakes with a capital 'C'! Oh yes, the mental image I got from that was amazing. Cluedo would be cool concept for a spinoff, though. It's called Cluedo where I'm from!

Aww, I missed out on all the Cluedo talk. D:

"Pinkie Pie at the main square with an apple" Fluttershy witnessed the event.

I still think it'd be fun to make a board game. It could be for six people, with some sort of advantage to whatever breed of pony you choose to play as. So for the Rainbow Dash event would be "roll a 5 or 6 to win", if you chose a Pegasus pony to play as, then you could have an advantage in that even, like getting a 4 will also result in a win. You'd get an advantage from Applejack if you're an Earth Pony, and an advantage from Rarity if you're an Unicorn pony.

Yeah, Rainbow Dash would be the fastest, but I'm going to guess her steering won't be so great. xD;
MLP Kart would be great. o3o
I agree. But her acceleration and speed would be wickedly fast in compensation.

Derpy would probably be a difficult character to control, or maybe she would be an easy character to control.

I think the characters that would be average in everything would be ponies like Twilight Sparkle for instance. She would be a good mix of speed/acceleration and handling.
