‘Jurassic Park’ Edition of Monopoly Being Released Next Month With Electronic Gate and Movie Character Tokens

Published

on

The next movie to make its way into the world of Monopoly is Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, with the official JP-themed version of the classic board game being released next month.

The game includes movie character tokens and even an electronic Jurassic Park gate!

Hasbro explains, “Secure dinosaur paddocks and other areas but beware of the T. Rex; it doesn’t follow rules! Build fences to protect paddocks from the attack and earn money by charging rent, but prepare for damaged property. Activate the gate to hear the Jurassic Park movie theme song or a dinosaur roar, which will determine how much money to collect.

“The last player with money when all others have gone bankrupt wins. The game also ends if the T. Rex damages all properties before they can be protected with fences or repaired.”

If the T. Rex damages all properties, EVERYONE loses. Sounds about right.

The Monopoly: Jurassic Park Edition game includes…

  • Gameboard
  • 6 Character tokens
  • 1 T. Rex token
  • Jurassic Park electronic gate
  • 28 Title Deed cards
  • 16 Cold Storage cards
  • 16 Impact Tremor cards
  • 24 cardboard fences
  • 2 Dice
  • Money pack
  • Game guide

Head over to Entertainment Earth to pre-order the game ahead of its May 2021 release.
