The pictures above are indicative and may not apply to the version of the game for sale.
A spinoff of the original 1935 Hasbro game, this 2011 Klingon edition (released November 17th) follows the same format. There is a "Go" square in one corner, and players roll dice to travel around the squares lining the edge of the board in circles trying to acquire properties.
What seems like the biggest difference between the editions (i.e. the fact that you are trying to take over the galaxy) actually involves no changes from the original edition other than name changes. "Properties" are "galaxy systems" (such as Qo'noS Romulus or Earth (home base of the enemy Federation), and they are "conquered" instead of "owned". The most ultimately valuable "property" (equivalent to Boardwalk in the original game), is now called Kronos, and the equivalent of Park Place is Khitomer. The equivalents of the valuable green properties in the original are Boreth, Ty’Gokor and Krios Prime, and so on. "Houses" are renamed "Outposts" and "Hotels" are renamed "Capitals". "Railroads" are "Starships" such as the Bat'leth and Bird-of-Prey.
The REAL differences lie in the facts that, for one, "Combat" cards replace "Chance" cards. Furthermore, the element of "Honor" replaces the "Community Chest". The penalty of the "Luxury Tax" is replaced by a penalty of losing a battle against Starfleet.
Another difference which does not affect gameplay, but which does add a lot to the feel of the game is that the board, cards, and rules are all bi-lingual: written in both Klingon and English.
In order to attain victory and "preserve the glory of the Klingon Empire", players must conquer all of the systems in the galaxy.
Game set includes gameboard, 6 Collectible tokens, 28 Title Deed Cards, 16 COMBAT cards, 16 HONOR cards, 2 Dice, 32 Outposts, 12 Capitals, 1 Pack of Klingon Forces, and Rules.
