Mass Effect fans who also enjoy a game of Monopoly are definitely going to enjoy this classic game modification inspired by Elisabeth Redel’s Fallout Monopoly game. The Mass Effect Monopoly version has been built by Tommy LeRoy and includes some great design features which reflect the Mass Effect game series perfectly.
Unique Design Elements
The Mass Effect Monopoly game is not just a simple re-skin of the traditional Monopoly board. Tommy LeRoy has meticulously crafted each element to resonate with the Mass Effect universe. The game pieces, for example, are modeled after iconic items and characters from the series. Imagine moving your piece around the board as the Normandy SR-2 or Commander Shepard. The property spaces have been renamed to reflect locations within the Mass Effect universe, such as the Citadel, Omega, and Tuchanka. Even the Chance and Community Chest cards have been reimagined to fit the game’s lore, offering players a truly immersive experience.
Gameplay Enhancements
In addition to the visual redesign, the gameplay itself has been enhanced to incorporate elements from Mass Effect. For instance, the traditional Monopoly money has been replaced with credits, the currency used in the Mass Effect universe. The houses and hotels have been replaced with outposts and bases, adding another layer of thematic consistency. These changes not only make the game more engaging for Mass Effect fans but also introduce new strategic elements that can make each playthrough unique.
Unfortunately, there has been no mention of whether the game will be made available to purchase. But if you are interested, keep an eye on the newly opened Tommy LeRoy Etsy shop. More information on the Mass Effect Monopoly game created by Tommy LeRoy can be found over on his deviantART page.
Community Reception
The Mass Effect community has shown a great deal of enthusiasm for this Monopoly modification. Fans have praised the attention to detail and the effort put into making the game feel like a true extension of the Mass Effect universe. Many have expressed their desire to see this version of Monopoly become commercially available, and some have even suggested additional features that could be included in future updates or versions. For example, incorporating elements from the game’s DLCs or adding new characters as playable pieces could further enhance the experience.
Future Prospects
While there is no official word on whether Mass Effect Monopoly will be mass-produced, the interest it has generated could potentially lead to a commercial release. If the game does become available for purchase, it could pave the way for other video game-themed Monopoly sets. Imagine a world where you could play Monopoly based on your favorite video game franchises, from The Elder Scrolls to Halo. The possibilities are endless, and the success of Mass Effect Monopoly could be the catalyst for a new trend in board gaming.
