Did you know you can purchase the planet Jupiter for only $100? Or build an observatory on the Ring Nebula for a mere 900 bucks? No, these aren't the latest come-ons by the purveyors of those buy-a-star scams. They are all part of the game with the Night Sky edition of Monopoly, where the "real estate" is astronomical objects and the prices are, well, anything but astronomical. I mean, come on, a Mars Landing for $75? Yeah, in the 1960s maybe! Perfect for astronomy enthusiasts, Night Sky Monopoly lets players buy, sell and trade some of the most spectacular celestial objects known to mankind, which depicted in beautiful photographs on the game board.

Players move their astronomy-themed pewter tokens around the board in an effort to acquire deeds to such objects and build "sky sheds" and "observatories" on them. (You wouldn't want to see a bunch of green houses and red hotels trashing up Saturn's skyline, would you?). Of course, like in regular Monopoly, you want to avoid going to jail. One of the game cards says "Fall into black hole, go directly to jail." We think jail would be the least of your worries after falling into a black hole (and we don't know how you'd ever get out), but it's just a game, after all. Ages 8 to adult. For two to six players.
