Star Trek Monopoly Continuum Edition Family Board Game

Product Information

I loved the artwork and imagery that reflect the Star Trek theme with this version of the much-loved Monopoly. They captured the show’s essence while maintaining the game’s classical elements. Key Features Roll on a few years and some genius decided that it'd be a good idea to start selling more versions of Monopoly. When you sat down and thought about it, there are loads of other things that can be adapted to fit a Monopoly board. The problem with a lot (actually, all) of them is that the designers didn't change the game board much at all. The picture in the middle of the board changed, sure, but the bit where the game pieces went round looked almost identical. The corner pieces were exactly the same and ruined the whole experience.

It was a controversial decision, but the set was so well executed and designed that I couldn’t include it in my list of the best Star Trek board games. Game nights can vary widely. It can be a family night on a rainy evening or a get-together with friends for a night of drinking, games, and laughter. It’s why I chose to include games with varied difficulty ranges so that you can choose the perfect one to suit your occasion. 3. Fun FactorThe game was played in exactly the same manner as the original Monopoly game but its game elements were based on various facets of the " Prime Universe" of Star Trek: The chess set is made from a hard-wearing acrylic material that’s easy to clean and will last a lifetime with the proper care. Key Features

I bet you’re wondering what I was looking for when trying to whittle down this list, aren’t you? Despite having a lot of fun, I did some factual research for each game. Here’s how I narrowed it down. 1. Theme In this custom edition Monopoly, nearly every element of the game has been redesigned: Properties, Money, Houses, Hotels, Community Chest, Chance, Utilities, Railroads, Tokens. Instead of the old stand-by tokens you’ll have your choice of Vulcan Harp, Phaser, Communicator, Klingon Blood Wine Goblet, Shuttlecraft, or Captain’s Chair. The Captain’s Chair is Kirk’s not Pike’s. Still awesome, but well… who wouldn’t want to be Captain Pike? Still, the game includes 22 properties from the complete Star Trek Continuum. Buy, Sell, and Trade properties from homeworlds like Vulcan, Andoria, and Cardassia Prime. Starships stand in for Railroads. You get the idea. The game was played in exactly the same manner as the original Monopoly game but elements of the game were based on Star Trek: The Original Series:Deal like a Enjoy the thrill of deal-making, risk-taking and owning it all in the world of Star Trek The classic board game Monopoly has been given the Trekkie treatment in this Star Trek-themed edition of the game. Monopoly Star Trek Continuum boldly goes where no other version has gone before, and covers the entire spectrum of the Star Trek universe and five television series: The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. Instead of the standard Monopoly tokens, players use tokens representing baseball-related items, such as a baseball glove, a baseball bat, a baseball cap, a pitcher's mound, or a baseball. This game certainly took me on a journey through another galaxy as we embarked on a voyage through intergalactic dimensions and interstellar escapades. From the moment this game arrived, I knew it was my time to shine and put my Trekkie knowledge to use.

I have 140 - 21/4x21/4 original negatives of artwork from the Original Star Trek The Motion Picture 1979 for sale. It was based on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Instead of buying streets (or bits of space station) you bought 'alliances' with various races. This didn't really make too much sense, but it was enough. The best bit, however, was the paragraph in the instructions that said there were going to be 3 more Trek Monopolies released (based on the other 3 Trek series at the time) and all four could be played simultaneously. The board features pictures from the famous series. The only squares that remain true to the original game are the classic four corners; you know, free parking, go to jail, pass go, and the prison. Usability

Learning Curve: The game might take some people a little time to get their heads around, especially newbies or none-trekkies. Board Star Trek Continuum Edition Monopoly was a board game that was produced by USAopoly and debuted in April 2009. The third of four Star Trek-themed Monopoly editions produced by the company, it was the first to use content from the Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise series. Price: I was impressed with this game’s quality and quantity of parts. There was a lot for the money. The main point of my research was finding games that captured the essence of the Star Trek series and put you in the center of the world, creating atmosphere and personal characterization to enjoy a completely immersive experience. 2. Age Range

You can play this game yourself if you wish, but it’s much better to play in groups. It makes an excellent corporate game and will break the ice at any gathering. Extended Gameplay The only obvious let down is that the buildings described as fleets and starships remain respectfully as hotels and houses. amusingly, in the instructions it states 'in the unlikely event that fewer than 4 versions of Star Trek Monopoly are produced, game play via wormhole may occur in fewer than the intended 4 quadrents'.) At around the same time, Star Trek was popular. Hard as it is to believe, but around the 30thAnniversary(1996) Trek was in a golden age. Next Gen was finishing, DS9 three quarters of the way through its run, Voyager just beginning...My dad passed away leaving me his entire star trek collection. Boxes of toys, ship manuals, signed pictures. Although the gameplay is the same as Monopoly the contents i.e. the game board, game pieces, game money, property title cards, chance cards and community chest are all designed to keep with the theme of the five Star Trek series.
