The famous game of Monopoly has now its own Bond version! The Monopoly "Ultimate James Bond Edition" has been anounced to hit the stores on September 2008. The main theme of the game is the same with some extra Bond modifications.
For example:
  • The cards of the simple Monopoly have been changed and are named " Bond allies" and "Bond enemies".
  • The train squares are: Orient Express(FRWL), Janus armoured train(GE), Octopussy's train(Octopussy) and Pendolino train(CR).
  • The board spots the gunbarrel.
  • Some of the places are: Disco Volante(TB), Crab Key(Dr.No), Piz Gloria(OHMSS), Liparus(TSWLM), Severnaya(GE), Ice Palace(DAD), Casino Royale(CR) and many others.
  • The player will have the opportunity to eqipp hi/her house with guards and security systems, which will increase its value!

Great news then for every Bond fun! Remember: SEPTEMBER 2008!

I'm a little surprised this hadn't already been made.

Being a huge Monopoly fan, I'm first in line for this. :(

Any idea what the orange properties are in this game? That's my favorite set. :)

You get to choose what each property is. That’s the big thing that makes this version different from the previous one.

I want to be a Monopoly fan just so I can buy this. But I’ll be darned if the game’s winner isn’t always decided in the first 20 minutes and the next 4 hours are spent watching him slowly obliterate the competition.

Seriously. There is never any suspense. Or fun. Am I playing it wrong or what?

Yeah. You need to give up earlier. :(

As soon as i saw this thread I weed myself with delight :(

Well, not that far! But still, this is brilliant news! I'm a big fan of board games, a big fan of Monopoly, an enormous fan of James Bond! So I'm sorted!

Ah, yes, I remember knowing about that last year when I read that CBn had a competition about it.

Its kind of funny you should mention the contest. I was one of the winners of it. When I got it, I played it against my stepdad, got owned (literally). Good times. If you guys want, and have not seen it, I can post pictures. Lemme know.
