The Bottom Line

Guide Review - Clue - The Simpsons Edition

The basic rules of Clue are unchanged in this edition, but the characters -- Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa Simpson, Krusty the Clown, and Waylon Smithers -- are.

So are the weapons, which now include a poisoned donut, an extend-o-glove, a necklace, a slingshot, a plutonium rod, and a saxophone. The locations -- Burns Manor, Kwik-E-Mart, the nuclear power plant, the Simpson home, and five others -- are also unique to this edition of Clue.

However, apart from the Simpsons theme, there's nothing here. So if you're a fan of "The Simpsons," consider adding it to your collection.
