Monopoly - James Bond Edition Preview
10th April 2006
For years fans have yearned for a 007 edition of the world famous
trading game, some even creating their own unofficial versions,
but now USAOPOLY are making the first official James Bond edition
of Monopoly. Licenced under Hasbro, USAOPOLY have created Monopoly
spin-offs for many film and TV franchises, and 007 will be the
latest addition to the range in June 2006.
Movie Trading
For the 007 edition, players will trade the 21 official
films of the James Bond series, and not famous locations or villains
lairs as has been the case with fan creations over the years.
The game will only include the films by Eon Productions, so "Never
Say Never Again" (1983) and the comedy spoof "Casino
Royale" (1967) will not be included. As all regular Monopoly
players will know, the game consists of 22 property squares, and
with only 21 film including the latest adventure "Casino
Royale", one square will not be based on a film. "Dr
No" (1962) will be the first and cheapest square immediately
following "Go!", with the other 20 films following in
sequence.
Players will use one of six collectible 007-themed pewter tokens:
Oddjob's bowler hat, Rosa Klebb's show, Aston Martin DB5 car,
the Q boat, Little Nelly helicopter, and Bond's jetpack. No details
are currently available on how the "Chance" cards and
other squares on the board will be themed.
Official Blurb
The Monopoly brand salutes the world-renowned British super spy.
Buy, sell, and trade all 21 official James Bond film title...
Can you recall them all?! Ages 8+; 2-6 players.
The James Bond edition of Monopoly (code MN049-139)
