There are different versions released and available. The original version is much more collectable, and rarer.

This is an OLD question but VERY pertinent NOW (Fall 2013). This version has been discontinued and when I checked KMART'S web-site I almost choked... the item was $162+ and SOLD OUT! $96, at the time of the original question, was likely someone just listing it high and hoping someone would buy it when everyone ran out the last few hours you could purchase it AND still get it in time for a major holiday! This is now a highly collectible item for those into "Monopoly" games. It is no different than a Barbie Collector or any other collector!

Literator- You can purchase this game for around $39.00 at the manufacturer website Hasbro.com or Hasbrotoyshop.com. Good luck!

$3.99 FS/NST from MyKitchCo. Commodity-item pricing games played by AmazonCom LLC and their Marketplace Sellers are entertaining, curious and maddening. Put this in your cart and watch the price bounce around. Cheers!

It's not exactly difficult, but it's very complex. There is a lot going on. (Which is a great thing, feels more like the Firefly universe). I would disagree pretty strongly that it's "no more difficult than playing Monopoly with an extra rule or two".I'd say it takes two full games, plus a full read-through of the rulebook, to figure things out. And even then you will probably have some questions about little things that will force you to re-check the rules (or more likely, check online because the official rules don't answer every question that comes up).

The game is now out of print at the publisher. The higher price reflects the higher cost of having to trade for and purchase copies in the secondary market. If the game is reprinted in the future, the price will come back down as retailers are again able to buy it from the publisher. -- Respectfully, Robert S.

Yeah..no way on God'sGreenEarth can this toy cost $250.00 bucks!!!!!! Amazon needs to do some fixing...on this & I have noticed it on other items as well.....or serious price gousing laws are going to hit them...that is if anyone was stupid enough to actually purchase!!!!!

Where did you find the game? I don't want to play online...I want the software and am running Win 7 now as no other choice on a new computer..I would love it if someone would enlighten me to get a copy of some games. I had a bare bone computer from AMD and made it how I wanted it....so now running 64 bit instead of 32 bit and my old copy of scrabble I purchased and worked well with XP will not load...is there a way to load this with Win7 that I don't know about? I put the CD in and nothing...thank you for any help...

My save and subscribe last month was 10.96. Came up to send it again over 20.00 to purchase. This is ridiculous. They are price gouging. Makes me wonder what type of company Amazon is - get tired of their games and this has happened before. This is worse then the price of gasoline and it's fluctuation.

True. I just bought the Death Angel card game last week and paid $180 to buy Space Hulk (3rd edition). $300 is too much for any bored game. You can still find the 3rd edition on ebay if you still want it. Also, I've heard that Level 7 Protocol is like Space Hulk but improved. I haven't read any reviews absent of nostalgia for Space Hulk, so I'm not sure what to expect not having grown up with it. Have you managed to find a copy? If so, what do you think of it?

This game may take forever. The same length of time it takes to play monopoly.

Based on the price, this couldn't be anything BUT the 4th edition! I spent a long time looking for this game, (before it had been reprinted) and any of the previous editions were going for well over $100 based on their rarity. Get it while you can!

WoooooooooW $168?! You're right... this is tooo expensive. I only paid like $65 for it in May of last year. I'm assuming it's expensive because you can't get it anywhere anymore. I would try ebay. Don't know where else to look. Sorry

I hate to say this but I just checked and Vann's now has it for 2049......Sure is making me think about purchasing it from them... Think about it AMAZON. Sure hate that you're losing customers like this.

I am sorry if I sound cheap but I feel the the price of $576 is outrageous! I got the game, it was $19.99 at Wal-mart. Even if I had got it at Toys-R-Us, the price would have been less the $35. I have had it for seven years now and it still works well but the screen is starting to deteriorate. I know one thing. I would not pay more than $50, or $40 for a new one. Dee

Hi, I'm the designer of the game. I was concerned about all the rumors here, so I checked with the publisher. She told me that 5000 copies of the game had been sent to distributors during Q4, but some of the larger distributors may have sold out theirs already due to the Tabletop coverage. There are more on the way, though, and I suspect that some of the smaller places and local stores may still have copies available, so you shouldn't need to start scavenging quite yet!

I'm sorry - I know absolutely nothing about the Shelti Breakout table. I would hope that for an extra $400, it would be a nicer version. My only comment is that two players broke at the ankles shortly after our purchase. Carrom replaced them free of charge, but it was surprising they broke under normal playing conditions. I would try to find both games in a local store and compare their features and quality first-hand.

I grabbed it for that price. Had it in the cart, looked back a the specs and the price went up! But as it was in the cart, I got it for $649. Merry Christmas Mom!

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!
