The Star Trek Limited Edition Monopoly board game was produced by USAopoly, debuted in 2000, and was the second of four Star Trek-themed Monopoly games produced by the company.

The game was played in exactly the same manner as the original Monopoly game but elements of the game were based on Star Trek: The Original Series:

  • The player tokens were small pewter figurines of the main crew members from the original USS Enterprise.
  • The "properties" were now related to various alien races, from whom the player purchased "alliances".
  • The money was made to resemble different denominations of Federation credits.
  • The houses and hotels were replaced by starships (small white blocks, each with a relief of the Enterprise) and space stations (which most closely resembled Deep Space Station K-7).
  • Cards previously known as "Chance" and "Community Chest" were revised to "Captain's Log" and "Starfleet Orders", respectively.

The game was designed to allow play alongside other Trek Monopoly games that USAopoly had produced earlier, but just one other edition, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Collector's Edition Monopoly game, was compatible in the end.

Planned editions based on Deep Space Nine and Voyager were detailed in the rulebook but did not reach production. Although they were also Trek-related, neither of the games were intended to be compatible with the later Star Trek Continuum Edition Monopoly or the Star Trek Klingon Edition Monopoly releases.
