MONOPOLY: Baseball Collector's Edition

Move over video games, there's a new way to play sports indoors that doesn't involve TV hypnosis or breaking mom's furniture.

Created by USAopoly, a visionary in combining board game concepts with the clout of licensed products, MONOPOLY: Baseball Collector's Edition, unites the action of the playing field with the familiar icons of Monopoly.

"The new Major League Baseball Monopoly will have all 30 Major League team logos, customized 'Community Chest' cards, and tokens that are baseball-themed," said Dane Chapin, CEO of USAopoly.

"The baseball theme really comes through in the artwork of the game," says Chapin. "If in traditional Monopoly you pull a card that says ' Pay poor tax of $15,' the card for the baseball version would say, 'Strike out, pay $15.'"

Designed for ages 6 and up, Baseball Monopoly is available now and aims to satisfy both sports fans and Monopoly buffs. USAopoly has even designed Mr. Monopoly his very own Major League Baseball outfit.

Soon to hit the track from USAopoly: Nascar Checkers, with actual miniature tires as checkerboard pieces.
