against the Clones yourself. Choose one of the 8 tokens – you decide
yourself if you choose for the Dark or Brite side. Follow an intergalactic way
over the game board meanwhile collecting as many Republican Credits as
possible!
The special "force' die and counters offer an additional challenge
if you have to measure your strength with the other part of the fight for
supreme mastery. Do Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda de Jedi je lead to victory? Or
will this be the chance the malicious count Dooku and Jango Fett are waiting
for so long? The one who knows how to prevent a bankrupcy will finally triumph.
May
the Force be with you!"

and Sith cards.

Edition:
Monopoly Banking - Österreich Ausgabe, Ref.Nr.
060600114156
Publisher: Parker/Hasbro Deutschland - June
2006
Dimensions of the box: 39 x 27 x 6 cm
The game:
This set is from the collection of Roland
Klose - D.
Probably there has never been published the so-called 70th anniversary edition
published in Austria. The motto for that issue was all over the world "How would Monopoly look like should it have been invented
today?". The result of an inquiry hold under a great number of people
always resulted in a game board with completely new properties. Many
countries called their edition "Here and Now" (USA - UK - CND),
"Itt és Most" (HU), "Här & nu" (S),
"Heute"(D), except for Holland that made it "Van Dam
tot Dom" and France that just translated the motto into "Et
si Monopoly était inventé aujoud'hui?"
These 2005 editions all show Mr. Monopoly proudly driving in his red
car showing a licence plate "Mr. M70".
Shortly after this first issue the Banking edition was introduced,
however still with Mr. Monopoly in his red
car showing the licence plate "Mr. M70".
These above described versions haven't been published in all
countries. In a number of European countries, amongst which Austria, only this 3rd version,
issued since 2006, has been published. And so there is no relation anymore
with Mr. Monopoly's 70th anniversary. But typical for this 3rd
version is Mr. Monopoly is now travelling in ...... a red
helicopter.
Typical for this edition is the card reader. Credit cards replace the
banknotes (which can be ordered should you like to have them as yet).
The credit cards shown on the box however, are misleading. They suggest to be chipcards, which is not true. There is but some rise in the card of each
player that is recognized by the card reader. All winnings and spendings are
booked per player in the card reader unit.
Not only have all properties been updated, the amounts
have been made "contemporary" as well. So you will not collect € 200
over Los, but € 2 million instead so a factor 10,000 more. However
everything is of course correspondingly more expensive: The purchase price for a
station became f.e. € 2 million.
For all corresponding editions applies in addition:
|
The blue green
houses
are ellipse shaped and 6 mm in height, have no pointed roof and are
stackable. |
|
The red hotels have the
same shape but are 31 mm in length. Since they are hollow they are very light
and because of that not very practical. Neighter it is clear what the
purpose of the stackability of these hotels can be. |
|
The 6 metal tokens are: a skateboard - skeeler -
racing car - a mobile - money bag and airplane. |
| Besides some countries has an additional token
characteristic for the country. However, this Austrian edition hasn't
one. |
| The banker's tray, a dark
blue plastic insert in the innerbox, has a.o. a storage space for
the card reader and a number of slots to put the banker's property cards in.
The double folded game board fits in the centre part between 2 raised
sections of the tray. |
|
The mortgage side of the property deeds is grey.
On the grey backside of the Ereignis
and Gemeinschafts cards is resp. a red
question mark and a modern black chest, filled up with (yellow)
gold rods. |

Austria and are from Los in order:
