I am very happy with this game, with one exception: The "doghouses" and "bird nests" are just brown houses and red hotels. Making them different shapes would have been a nice touch. The game board and cards are so cute, and the money is too. Definitely a good purchase for a Peanuts fan.

This Monopoly set is perfect for anyone who has fond memories of the comic strip Peanuts. As you travel around the board, you can buy the classic characters (Peppermint Patty and Marcy to Pig Pen, Woodstock, and Snoopy) or locations and situations (the pumpkin patch or kicking the football). Probably my favorite change is the railroads, which are now holidays (must own Christmas). The tokens include Lucy's psychiatric booth, Schroeder's piano, and Woodstock. And Snoopy adorns all the money. Even the font used on the title deed cards imitates the style of printing used in the strip for 50 years.

As others have noted, the "nests" and "doghouses" look remarkably like houses and hotels. While a little disappointing, it doesn't dampen my enjoyment of this incarnation of the classic board game.

This game has alot going for it with the Peanuts gang as its theme. The board, money and tokens are superb. The major disappointment, and I do mean MAJOR is the fact this game does not have customized pieces to replace the houses and hotels. They have colored the houses brown instead to represent Woodstock's nests, and left the hotels as is to represent Snoopy's dog house. It is a shame that after all the careful design work that went into this game, the manufacturer took the cheap way out and didn't properly finish off the game. You will notice that all the new monopoly editions are like this. They just color the houses and hotels differently, and still claim , as they do on Peanuts, that it is a "completely customized game".

Very cute version of Monopoly for lovers of the Peanuts gang. Just be sure to do some price checking on the internet. I bought it from another major bookseller for half the Amazon price.

I loved Monopoly as a kid. The peanuts version is great! Very cute!

Growing up with Snoopy in my life since I was a child all through to my current adult life "The Peanuts Gang" has been there. I love this game, I think the board pieces, game board, and the game is entertaining for ages 7 and up.

If you love the peanuts gang or are an avid collector like I am you will want to have this!

Just like regular Monopoly, with fun Peanuts twists with every roll of the dice!
