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.
