If you are a hardcore Family Guy fan like me (I am actually one of the few people that watched Family Guy when it was originally on the air), you will not be disappointed with this Monopoly version. The box is beautifully designed with the Griffin family pictured on center, and some easter eggs to look around for. The board is not the most impressive one especially compared to The Simpson's and Muppets Monopoly versions but it is pretty nice with the Griffins at center. What you will love of the board is the properties, which include everything from Chris' Closet and Seamus' Lighthouse to James Woods High and Geronimo's Palace to The Clam and Channel 5 News to Mayor West's Mansion and finally Petoria, all from both old and new seasons plus some scenes from the Stewie's Untold Story movie. The property deeds are somewhat disappointing though. The do not have color watermarks like those found in the Simpson's version, but I guess they will do.

Peter's Fishing Boat, Hinden-Peter, Peter-Copter and the Pope Mobile replace the Railroads. I bet you will not be laughing too much when you have to pay $200.00 (Income Tax) for Volcano Insurance or $75.00 for Workplace Sensitivity Training (Luxury Tax) but hey, you can't stay mad for long at the Salesman Guy, right? It would have been cool to have Joe Swanson on the Go To Jail space and have a picture of Quahog Prison on the jail space but well, what can you do?

The Pewter Tokens are nice. You can chose from TV Junkie Peter, Mug in hand Brian, Nose picking Chris, Lois, Stewie in a high chair and Meg (who looks like a Peanut character). You can also order four more tokens that include The Giant Chicken, Quagmire, Joe and the Evil Monkey.

The coolest changes are the Chance and Community Chest cards that are replaced by the What the Deuce! and Giggity! Giggity! Giggity! cards, respectively. They are beautifully done in full color and you will find things like; Made Sheriff of Bumblescum ADVANCE TO GO, Get Liposuction and Implants Pay $100, Confederate Civil War Veterans are After You Go Back 3 Spaces, Take Big Fat Paulie to The Movies as a Favor Collect $25.00, Help Death get a Girlfriend Collect $100, and many more.

The money goes as follows $1 - Meg, $5 - Chris $10 - Lois, $20 - Brian, $50 - Stewie, $100 - Peter, $500 - The Griffins

There are no special rules for this version, which is weird since it has been the norm for some time in these special Monopoly versions.

To wrap it up I must say that even though they could have done a better job this is a beautiful and wonderfully done Monopoly game. Family Guy fans will love it making this a great gift. HAVE FUN!

I know it may seem trivial, but the tokens for this version of Monopoly are substantially smaller than any I've ever seen; if one of them fell off the table, there's a pretty good chance you might not ever find it! Other than that, the layout is hilarious. If you like Family Guy, you need to have this game.

We've got several versions of Monopoly around our house, some of which now reside more-or-less permanently in the garage. So when my 13-year son included a Family Guys Monopoly game as part of his holiday list, I viewed it with disfavor. "You can use one of the others," I insisted. But he wouldn't be dissuaded; he really wanted *this* version.

To be fair, he hasn't chosen any of the other Monopoly sets we have (regular, junior, National Parks, Disney edition), something the rest of us have had an opportunity to do. So I gave in and got it for him for Christmas.

We've been playing it a lot since then. He and his 21-year old sister, both of whom are very familiar with Family Guy, LOVE this version. They laugh and talk and reminisce over bits and pieces from different shows as they progress around the board. I freely admit that I am lost, but I really don't mind being so. My kids are having a wonderful time with this version of Monopoly and that's what it's important.

I remember sitting around with my family and playing Monopoly when I was their age. It's an enduring tradition, whether or not one lands on Peter's Fishing Boat or Reading Railroad. I'm glad my kids will remember good times with this quintessentially American board game, too.

Very fun. I am a huge family guy fan and they did a great job in making the references comical and random. It made an awesome gift.

We had a hysterical time playing this game. Got it for a friend who is a fanatic. It was fun trying to match places with episodes, as well as episodes with reasons for going to jail, LOL! Would refer this to anyone!

This is a unique and fun gift to give to your favorite "Family Guy" fan. I am not but my 25 year old son is and buying him a Christmas gift can be a real hassle. This time I got it just right. He enjoys board games and the Monopoly rules are all the same -- just the themes have been changed to protect the not-so innocent. Seems like Stewie would better enjoy a game of Clue (what with all the weaponry and such) but this is what I found and this is what I purchased and gave. The son enjoyed it very much. Whew!!

Makes the tried and true game more fun with characters you love in addition to a tv show you watch. Has collector addition game pieces and the board is really unique. My sons love it as well. Seems as if they want to hang out at home more to play the game whereas the regular monopoly didn't inspire as much excitement. The board is well thought out, the game pieces are great and as a added benefit, I get a little more quality time with my boys. What better review could i possibly give.

I have several of these theme versions of monopoly. I'm usually a bit hesitant about getting them but I'm a Family Guy fan and recently got to play this at a friend's house. It's well designed enough that I think I'm going to ask for my own copy for Christmas!

This game is great for any Monopoly/Family Guy lover! I got this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! It's the only version of Monopoly he will now play (and we have several different versions! lol)
