The Simpsons Board Game (2000)

About this game

The object of the game is to be the player (playing the role of one of the Simpsons characters) who, at the end of the game, has the most trash on the living room rug. The game is over when the rug is full. Players travel from their place on the couch around an inner board....but not for long! They will soon by diverted into one of the 6 sub games around the board. These games vary from singing karaoke in Moe's Tavern to answering questions in school, as well as a school trip, a visit to Quik-e-mart, a quick visit to the power plant, and if you are lucky a spell as mayor, where you get to control the movement of all the other players. Game play is very different each time you play.

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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
