THE GALACTIC SENATE

How much is this Star Wars Monopoly set?

Can't be sure, but seem to recall it being around $70

... but beware of some enterprising cloned sets selling at pasar malams for about $16

Even cheaper, the one I saw at pasar malam selling at $12 only ... identical packaging and shrink-wrapped.

simple, next time their bday, u can also go to pasar malam, and buy those cheapo monopoly sets for them lor, hehe (there are Disney Monopoly, SW Monopoly, and many others, some as cheap as $9.90 only!)

I too saw some like this selling for $15/=.
Of course this is the pirate version. Very likely the tokens would be plastic instead of pewter.

According to SW Monopoly guide, there are some optional game rules ...

If you roll double, u can either roll again or choose the following:

Double 1: Jump to hyperspace! Move your token to any pace

Double 2: Jedi mind trick. Collect 200 Republic Credits from the bank.

Double 3: Blockade. Collect 50 Republic Credits from every player.

Doubel 4: Use the Force. Draw a Jedi card.

Double 5: Use the Force. Draw a Sith card.

Double 6: Attack to control another player's property. The player who follows the dark side of the Force rolls the Red dice and player who follows the good side of the Force rolls the Blue dice. If both players follow the same side of the Force, then the attacker rolls the Red dice and the Defender rolls the Blue dice. The player who rolls the higher number takes (or keeps) control of the property. In the event of a tie, both players re-roll their dices. Note: You cannot challenge for a property if a plaer owns all of the properties in that color group.

At a pasar malam near my place, I saw the set selling for $15.90. Did not get it. The pokemon ones are around 12.00+.

u are right, the tokens for players, houses and hotels are all plastic instead of pewter. The paper quality for money, title deeds, chance card are like photocopy one. But the packaging is good.

You are right, DR E, its definitely Plastic, just had to open it to look see
whether its Pewter or Plastic, light as a feather. Urrgggh

well, the TRU one is $70, the Pasar Malam one is $12 ... what u pay is what u get lor ... hehe

anyway, i reckon the cheapo is ok if u just want to play the game; but if u are SW collector, then u shld buy the original boxset.

I was just thinking about getting the set as it has been ages since I last played Monopoly. Does anyone know if ToysRus still carries the set? Are there other versions besides the SAGA edition? Thanks

I was playing the SW monopoly just last week with my kid and spouse ... my most expensive lot Coruscant Senate (equivalent to Broadway lot) was "hostile takeover" by my kid when he throw a Double 6 (Attack to control another player's property) ... and I lose the game.

The Power of Dark Side ... The Power of Double Six ...

You are lucky it is just a only hostile takeover, not a termination of the player.
