Doctor Who Monopoly – 50th Anniversary Edition

Just arrived this afternoon. Interesting that it’s the Classic Who logo being used rather than the New Series one. Just three mistakes as far as I can see: 1) Arc of Infinity has a Three Doctors Omega on it; 2) The Curse of Peladon features an Ice Warrior from The Ice Warriors and 3) Why no TARDIS, Dalek or K9 playing pieces? Massive mistake as they would be the pieces everyone would want to be!

The board looks lovely, it’s nice to have the logo on the money and the Gallifrey and UNIT cards have some great penalties on them. Even the instruction book has been amended for this edition.

Open the images in a new window for larger versions…

  1. That looks great! When I heard about it, I was worried it’d be 90% new series. Looks like a fantastic mix of every era of the show! :)

  2. Looks Cool!!! But the Tokens could’ve been way better!!! Me, I would’ve done, TARDIS, SONIC SCREWDRIVER, K-9, DALEK, CYBERMAN, WEEPING ANGEL!!!👽

  3. I would be the scarf all day. But I do agree with Zetar on the tokens being better.

  4. Yeah, the tokens are sadly lacking. I’m not even sure what one of them IS…!!! No TARDIS??? Doctors and companions come and go, but the TARDIS is forever! (Not to mention Daleks and K-9!)

    I still want it. WANT.

  5. Is there a computer game of it, or is it only available in a box?

  6. This looks good, but I can’t see the first picture there :(
    It does seem odd that they didn’t go for the classic Dr Who icons for the tokens.

  7. I would have had little effigies of all the incarnations of the Doctor so players can be there favourite Dr Who..
