The Game of Life: The Simpsons Edition (2004)

About this game

From the box back: Welcome to the Simpson's way of LIFE. Will you get an education or a cool tattoo? Maybe you'll invent the Flaming Moe, drive the monorail, or raise tomacco. Perhaps you'll join The Stonecutters or catch a three-eyed fish or appear in the next McBain film. Just beware of all-syrup super-Squishees, Quetzlzacatenango peppers, and the exotic wiles of Princess Kashmir. Make your mark on Whacking Day and you might retire to Monty Burn's Manor. Or forget all that and just play this great game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
