This board is really fun and has many of the Treehouse of Horror tidbits in it. Even the tokens glow in the dark (as if you could play Monopoly in the dark without getting taken by another player). I was slightly disappointed in the tokens that were given, since Marge and Lisa were not included. Instead, Comic Book Guy and some Werewolf were packed instead. However, this was my only hang up and otherwise it was a fun Monopoly game.

Although I am a Simpsons nut, I must give this board game a low rating. This comes from several small disappointments game-wise. The game tokens are made of green, supposedly glow-in-the-dark plastic, not colored (they could've covered them with DIFFERENT glow-in-the-dark colors) so it's hard to make out their features. There are very few of the tokens themselves and they are not as humorous as I imagined them. Additional tokens may be purchased at an outrageous price and an even more so shipping-and-handling charge. Overall I do not think this game warrants the price asked for it. It is nowhere near as comical as it seems on the photos or in your head. If you want to play monopoly, get another addition like regular Simpsons, Electronic Banking, or the Here & Now editions. Don't spend your money on this.

My fiance and I both enjoy the Simpsons, but we especially enjoy the Treehouse of Horrors episodes. We've played the game at least 3 times now enjoying the twist on the classic Monopoly game. The tokens are nicely sized with a sturdy base, and we're thinking about ordering the four special tokens (we just haven't gotten around to it yet :p).

Simply put, this is a must have for every Simpson's nut out there who enjoys their twisted take on the American culture.
