If you love Family Guy, and you like monopoly, this game is definitely for you. It's the best of both worlds, and great fun for families/friends alike. Monopoly with a twist. I wouldn't necessarily recommend to those who are not fans of Family Guy, but then I suppose that's a given. Nice monopoly set that's definitely a great addition to your game collection.

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!

This is a fun game. If you like family guy, this game is perfect. The cards and spaces are hilarious, and is so much fun to play with other people.

Although I don't care much for Family Guy, I bought this game for a friend of mine and very much enjoyed it. The properties, chance cards, and community chest cards were very well thought out and highlighted important and funny events/places from the show.
The only part I didn't like was the player tokens, which were ill-made, boring, and all looked alike. The houses and mansions (instead of hotels), however, I did like.

The Family Guy Monopoly has been great fun and we all enjoy the different things that relate to the show. I've played Monopoly for years, but seeing in such a fun and unique way has been great!
