Editorial Review

Okay, it's not the most complex toy that's ever been attempted. They didn't re-invent the rules of the classic murder mystery game Clue, they simply reproduced it with characters, locations, and weapons from the world of The Simpsons. But that simplicity is what makes this set so much darn fun. In this version, Mr. Burns has been found dead. Marge is now Mrs. Peacock, Homer is Mr. Green, Krusty is Colonel Mustard, Bart is Professor Plum, Lisa takes the role of Miss Scarlet, and, perhaps most delightfully, Waylon Smithers, is Mrs. White. Weapons include a poison donut and a plutonium rod, while locales include the power plant and Krustylu Studios. If all these references confuse you, well, it's still a game of Clue and a great game to play. But if these references send you off into a gleeful reverie of repeated catch phrases and favorite episode memories, then you really need this game. --John Moe

Product Description

Springfield is in shambles. Chief Wiggum suspects foul play when he finds wealthy industrialist Charles Montgomery Burns dead. In a typical display of incompetence, Wiggum rounds up six likely suspects: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Krusty the Clown and Waylon Smithers. He gives them 24 hours to solve the crime through a real life game of Clue. The fingered suspects must dress-up as their favorite Clue game character to solve the mystery. Their job is to figure out who killed Mr. Burns, where the crime occurred and what weapon was used.

Game includes square gameboard, six collectible Simpsons suspect tokens, six zinc weapons, confidential case file, deck of suspect, weapon and location cards, detective notebook pad and dice. For 3 to 6 players.

Remember when Mr. Burns was shot and nearly killed? Well this time Mr. Burns was found dead and Chief Wiggum rounds up six suspects. The killer will not get away. You play the roll of one of the suspects and work your way on discovering, before the other players, who killed Mr. Burns, with what weapon and in what Location in Springfield.

The board game is beautiful. The deck of cards is awesome. The yellow dice are a nice touch. And the game pieces are very cool regardless of the version you have. (1st edition - pewter; 2nd edition colorful detailed plastic.

The Players are:
Homer Simpson as Mr. Green
Krusty the Clown as Colonel Mustard
Marge Simpson as Mrs. Peacock
Lisa Simpson as Miss Scarlet
Bart Simpson as Professor Plum
Waylon Smithers as Mrs. White

Poisoned Donut
Extend-O-Glove
Necklace

This game is easy to learn, easy to play and very fun. I gave the game 5 stars in educational because even though it is very simple you really have to use your brain. So if you are not used to thinking, be warned, it will hurt. I love Clue and this version just begs to be played with.

As a game fan, a Simpson's fan and a collector I have to say if you haven't purchased this game do so. Only God knows how long this version will be available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Twist to a Classic Game, March 27, 2003

I've had this game for several years and although it doesn't get much play, due to the fact that you need at least three people to join in, it still holds all the same charm of the classic game of Clue. The most hilarious of all is Mr. Smithers as Mrs. White. The artwork alone on the game board should be enough for any Simpson's fan, however, I can assure you that this version will liven up a dull time with the family or in-laws. It amazes me that after all these years my sister still tries to cheat by looking at my notes. It also amazes me that she doesn't catch me glancing at hers.
The game is very simple and takes only seconds to refresh the rules for everyone. And if you've played the classic version of clue to death, items like "the poisoned donut" will be sure to crack you up and make the game new for you.
I would recommend this game to anyone who has played clue and or has a long visit with the family lined up. Leave the Monopoly in the closet it will only make everyone hate each other. This game, if played correctly (with minimal cheating), should bring you all together, or at least provide a good laugh.

What I really love about this game is the shear amount of detail they put into it. The rooms on the board have so many humorous items in them - many referencing individual shows. You can see stampy the elephant, Mr. Burns' ape vest, the Pin Pals jacket, a "worst convention ever" T=shirt in the comic book shop, Bobo the teddy bear, the three eyed fish, the Rodney Dangerfield missing son, Marge dressed like she was on the island in the Prisoner spoof episode, and a "thank you come again welcome mat in the Kwik-e-mart. Definitely a lot of fun. Played exactly as clue except the names and pictures are different.
