Star Trek Monopoly: Boldly Go and Collect $200
July 24th, 2011
I’m not a trekkie, so pardon me if there is indeed evidence to the contrary, but I don’t think acquiring and managing properties is within the duties of a starship captain. But now you can help the best captains from five different eras conquer the board game frontier with Monopoly: Star Trek Continuum Edition.
As you’d expect, most of the elements of the game have been given a trekkie twist, from the houses and hotels, which have been renamed “ships” and “fleets”, to the player tokens. Instead of the usual thimble and bag of coins, they’ve been replaced with a Vulcan harp, phaser, communicator, Klingon blood wine goblet, shuttlecraft and of course the captain’s chair. In case you were wondering why the starships are not tokens, that’s because they fill in for railroads instead.
You can order the Star Trek Monopoly Continuum Edition either from ThinkGeek for $40 (USD), or Amazon for about $26.

big fan of star trek! I also think the travelinbugz.com has some cute figurines and the book is great! You have to protect your bugz from Victor spoilz! Its an exellent concept!
I have 2 Star Trek Monopoly boards already, in the early ’00 they were going to do all 4 series (before ENT) and the boards would be linkable so the game would last even longer than it normally does.
They should have continued with that as DS9 & VOY got cancelled
