Ok... Quickie review...

It comes with eight pewter playing pieces shaped like characters from the
movies (Luke, Leis, Han, Chewie, R2, Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and Vader).
The money is similar, but represents Imperial Scrip rather than dollars.
The board has different properties (Dagobah, Tatooine, etc), and has a
really cool background shot of a space battle from ROTJ.

It's also a limited numbered set (I believe limited to 10,000), and runs
for $30.00... It's loads of fun... After all, last time I played I OWNED
the Death Star...:)

To bring this back to SR... If tehy ever made a SR monopoly game, what
would it be like? And waht would you use for properties, playing pieces,
etc...?

How about....

What if Mattel did a Ken & Barbie Shadowrun line? What would they be
like and what would the retail price be? Do think they'd put Barbie
as a rocker and Ken a decker or a sammy?

How about, Rigger Barbie and her Westwind?


Always the smart ass....

The playing pieces should be the emblems of the eight megacorps...
