About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a nostalgic trip to a galaxy far, far away with Monopoly: Star Wars 40th Anniversary Special Edition! This version celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original film, bringing the classic Monopoly experience with a touch of intergalactic adventure. Instead of regular streets and properties, you'll collect iconic scenes and spaceships inspired by the 1977 movie. The idea is to relive the saga, perhaps even siding with the Rebels or the Empire, as you try to build your fleet and bases to dominate the board.

The 'Force' and 'Smuggler's Cargo' cards add extra spice, shaping players' destinies and introducing unexpected twists. The objective, of course, remains the same: bankrupt your opponents and become the ultimate galactic tycoon. It's a great pick for Star Wars fans who enjoy a more traditional board game and want to feel the nostalgia of the film. The roll-and-move mechanic is straightforward, and player negotiation can lead to very fun moments. Just don't expect a rule revolution; the focus here is on the theme and celebrating a cinematic milestone.
