Catalogue information
The 3rd game in the Star Wars series since the arrival in the Netherlands of the American version of the 1st Star Wars Monopoly game, in 1997. This version is based on the movie The Phantom Menace and is in Dutch. Of the 8 tin tokens (marked "© LFL", from Lucasfilm), the 4 heroes are Anakin Skywalker, Jar Jar Binks, Qui-Gon Jinn and Queen Amidala and the villains Darth Sidious, a Battle Droid, Darth Maul and Sebulba. No houses and hotels are placed on the properties, which consist of 28 places in the Milky Way Galaxy, but apartments and towers. The apartments are flat-like structures of gray plastic, while the towers are monumental structures of golden brown plastic. The mortgage side of the property deeds is black. The Chance and Community Chest cards have been replaced by resp. Jedi and Sith cards, with telling (?) Lyrics such as: The Jedi Council Fund expires - You receive # 100. Your Galactic Senate Retirement Starts - You receive # 100. Continue to Otoh Gunga Gungan Sub - If you pass "Start" you will receive # 200. Buy Droids for all your belongings - Pay # 25 per apartment and # 100 per tower. The currency of the money used in the Galaxy is a Galactic Credit. The banknotes are of utmost simplicity, but there are also 5 gold coins (value # 100) with the imprint "Galactic Republic". The Manual says of this: "For the collector! You can also use them for paying large sums if you want!". Both dice are, of course, black with white pips. The practical "banker tray" is also made of black plastic. The price of this set amounted to NLG 89.95 in December 1999. (data Monopoly Lexicon Albert Veldhuis)
