New “Star Trek” Monopoly Game

I’ve always been a big fan of the board game, Monopoly.  Way back in the day I even made my own version of it based on of all things (of course) “Star Trek.”  It was crude and I had to make my own cards and so forther, but I loved it.  Well, now you have have your own very professional version of a cool “Star Trek Monopoly” game made by the fine folks over at USAOPOLY.  There were kind enough to send me a review copy several weeks ago along with a copy that I gave away via a contest on the podcast (congrats again to Ricardo).  This is an excellent presentation of both Trek and Monopoly.  Of course the entire board has been reworked featuring places from the Trek universe, ships replace the railroads, and money is now gold pressed latinum.  Another cool feature is you get little miniature, pewter tokens for you playing pieces of such Trek iconic things like Kirk’s chair, a phaser, a Vulvan harp and so on.  You also get completely redone chance and community chest type cards with all sorts of cool Trek details that are now called sensor readings & subspace transmissions.  The game of course plays just like normal Monopoly, but with the added Trek flair to it that makes it even more fun!  So when you get the chance, check the game out over at USAOPOLY and order a copy for yourself.  It’s both a nice collectible that’s a lot of fun to play too!  A great item for everyone to take to the beach or out on their deck during the nice summer months.
