USAopoly, makers of those special edition Monopoly games you see in toy stores and Barnes & Noble, has some very cool titles in the works for 2015.

Some major franchises from film, television and video games are represented here, including some very long-awaited editions, so there's something for just about everyone.

The first-ever Back to the Future edition of Monopoly is coming in May. Nothing is known about the game pieces or the board, but the packaging is made to resemble a yellow metal crate — like the one Doc Brown stored his Plutonium in.

Game of Thrones Monopoly is one we expect to be a huge seller, given the show's popularity. Major properties include the likes of Castle Black, Winterfell and King's Landing. The six custom tokens are: crown, direwolf, dragon egg, Iron Throne, 3-eyed raven and a White Walker. No release date has been announced yet beyond "2015," but you can sign up to be notified by the official HBO Store when it becomes available. A wicked cool Avengers Monopoly is probably timed to release around when Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters. It's a pretty radical departure from your standard Monopoly game in that it has a round board. Looks well made, too. The tokens are the six main Avengers as they appear in the movies, but there's another twist: special "hero cards" grant players special superpowers within the game. Sign us up. Another May release: Jurassic World Monopoly. All we have on this one is a packaging mockup, but the properties are a no-brainer: they'll be the various areas of the park/island. Will game pieces be dinosaurs, or vehicles like that gyropod thing from the trailer? Joss Whedon fans, get ready, because this very month (March) brings Firefly Monopoly. The tokens are ships; the properties are planets. As you can see in the picture, Community Chest and Chance are replaced with cards named after frequently-used expressions on the show: "Gorram" and "Shiny!" One more for video gamers: the long-awaited arrival of Mass Effect Monopoly. Sadly, we have no details on this one aside from this package mockup. The lack of information may point to a late-2015 release.


There are no doubt many more specialty Monopoly editions coming throughout the year, but these are the only ones we know about so far.
