The Star Wars Monopoly Saga Edition is the edition for long standing Star Wars fans. Its theme covers all 6 movies and this is carried thr0ugh in the characters (tokens) and the place names. While all the usual monopoly rules apply, there are a few additiitonal options, with a Star Wars twist, that you can throw into the equation if you want to. Now to be honest the monopoly money or should I say Republic Credits are a bit flimsy, like in all monopoly editions but the quality of the 8 collectible Star Wars characters makes up for this, in my opinion.
Now I know that choosing characters and getting to be your favorite, may set for a competitive pre-match atmosphere but I am sure you will work that one out. As I said there are 8 characters to choose from and I am going to be a big tease and not tell you who they are. Ok, Ok, I’m a big softie – you can find that out here!
Like all Star Wars Monopoly editions the place names have been changed and instead of Boardwalk and Park Place you might have Death Star for example. Houses and hotels are replaced with settlements and cities. You can own Mustafar and Utapa, Hoth and Cloud City, for example. You can still end up in jail though!
If you are a real Star Wars fan this edition comes with a translation guide for the Star Wars galaxy Aurebush language. This will help you to read the words on the “Republic credits” , so you can really show off to your friends and family. Just watch out that you don’t get distracted from the business at hand.
All in all, this Star Wars Monopoly edition is getting some great reviews. It seems to appeal to both older and younger Star Wars fans and let’s face it is always food to sit around a table and have some (competitive!) fun.
