There is a GodAug 31, 2001
By Efrain Rivera Jr.

I collect Monopoly board games. This is by far the most beautiful Monopoly game ever. If you are a Simpson fan that's a bonus. The board features almost every place in Springfield from the Kwik-E-Mart to Mr. Burns Manor. You could spend hours looking at every little and totally hilarious details. The game tokens are very nice plus you have the option to purchase other limited edition game tokens which are very cool by the way. The property deeds are a work of art. And on plus side if you have children and want to interest them in math and strategy while having fun you can not go wrong with this one. One more thing; if you do deside to purchase this game and plan on using it you better buy more than one or you will find yourself making your friends wash their hands before they could even think of touching it. Do yourself a favor and buy this game. Have fun.

The best game outOct 11, 2001
I aint kidding when I say this is the brightest, most colorful, most well designed Monopoly game out today. I have collected a few over the years but this one really puts a smile on your face. The board has a map of Springfield in the centre, if you look closer you can spot each character walking about the town. The Chance and Community Chest cards have Homer, Bart etc in place of the Monopoly man, the properties go from the tire yard and Cletus' shack (the cheapest) to the Country Club and Burns manor (the dearest) The pewter peices are very finely detailed, and there's an offer to buy four more. Also the property cards have Simpsons artwork on both sides. If your going to buy a Monopoly game, it really has to be this one.

 Game Tokens a LetdownDec 26, 2001
By Tanya
The Simpson Monopoly gameboard is everything I had hoped for. All of the classic Monopoly sites are now labeled with various places featured in the Simpsons show. However, I was very unhappy to find that the pewter game tokens lack the characters of Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and Mr.Burns. In order to aquire these tokens the company asks that you order them for an extra $10. This is a great piece to have for any Simpsons fan who doesn't mind paying extra for, what I consider, key components to the game or the player who can be content without them. Overall, the gameboard makes up for the lack of main character game tokens.

Fun and excitingNov 04, 2002
By Kristi
I received this game last year for Christmas and I enjoy playing this version of monoply more then the orginal. I find it better if your a simpson fan. It's cool how they can do the same rules of play but have a different board design. When you get the game you get the chance to order other characters, which is even better. To me it seems to be a faster pace game, but maybe that's because it catches my attention. I think this game would be better for kids who have a hard time learning, with this game it could hold thier attention and have fun and learn all at once. Its a great game all around.

Great gameMar 27, 2002
By Gary S
I got this game as a Christmas gift. When my 4- and 6-year olds bothered me to play it, I was afraid it was too 'old' for them. I was wrong. They really enjoy playing the game, and get into the fantasy of buying the places. (The bowling alley is a particular favorite.) And I rediscovered something about playing Monopoly: IT'S A GAME! When I was a kid, I remember being terrified of trading with people; I was sure I'd get the short end of whatever the trade was. So I'd sit on my hands and rarely trade. With my kids, I have a much more free-wheeling approach to trades and it helps a lot: the game goes faster, it's easier to get monopolies and it's just generally more interesting. They're too young for some of the advanced rules (we don't mortgage), but it's still a fun way to spend an evening.
