Based on the “show about nothing,” this Monopoly edition is a must-have for Seinfeld fans. View larger. “Chance” and “Community Chest” cards have been changed to fit the Seinfeld theme. View larger. Classic Game with a New Twist The fun begins with six collectible pewter tokens including The Puffy Shirt, The Bro/Manzier, Fusilli Jerry, Marble Rye, Urban Sombrero, and the Coffee Table Book. Choose your favorite token, then choose one player to be the banker. Each player starts with a set amount of money as outlined in the included instruction manual. You are now ready to roll the die and start investing! The rules of play are simple. If you land on an unowned property, you will have the option to purchase it. If, on the other hand, another player already owns the property, you will owe them rent as specified on the title deed. Landing on the “Yadda yadda yadda” and “Hellooo!” spaces allows you to draw a card, which can lead either to a small fortune or an unlucky penalty. Property owners can choose to add extra “parking spaces” and “garages” to their properties, thereby adding value and increasing the rent for other players who land on those spaces. As money trades hands, bankruptcy can be forestalled by mortgaging or trading properties. For those players interested in a quick game, the instruction manual outlines the rules for speed play. Otherwise, the last player to go bankrupt is the winner. A Virtual Encyclopedia of Classic Seinfeld References Seinfeld Monopoly is sure to delight both Monopoly purists and fans of the television series. Boardwalk and Park Place may have been renamed as Jerry’s Apartment and Monk’s Restaurant, but the rents are still high! Other properties, such as The Chinese Restaurant, the Non-Fat Yogurt Shop, or Poppy’s restaurant, will likely get players reminiscing about classic Seinfeld episodes. Instead of buying railroads, you’ll be purchasing Kramer’s Central Park Carriage, or the New York City Subway. And watch out for unlucky expenditures such as $150 for Mackinaw peaches or a donation of $100 to George’s made-up charity, the “Human Fund. ” Down on your luck? Draw a “Yada yada yada” card and you might win a court settlement with the help of Jackie Chiles and collect $50. Even if you’re up to your neck in debt, you can relieve your money woes with the snippets of dialogue that made Seinfeld one of the most popular television series of all time. Every bill, from $1 to $500, features a classic Seinfeld quote. Quiz your friends to see who can correctly identify the speaker of lines such as “No soup for you!” or “These pretzels are making me thirsty!” Naturally, the extent to which you will enjoy this collector’s edition depends on your appreciation for the show itself. Though this edition is easy to learn and play for anyone, if you haven’t seen Seinfeld you’re probably better off with the original edition of Monopoly. For the rest of us, in particular those who celebrate Festivus, this game is a treasure trove of well-chosen quotes and references.

Product DescriptionEverybody remembers the Monopoly game – that’s why it’s still the most popular, most widely played, and best-selling board game in the world! Across the generations and around the globe, what other game brings back so many memories of wheeling-and-dealing family fun’ No other game has turned so many game playing moments into memories! Whether you’re discovering the fun for the first time or reliving the carefree days of youth, get out there and Buy! Sell! Mortgage! Build houses and hotels! And collect those rents! That’s what makes Monopoly the great American game – just ask Rich Uncle Pennybags! For 2 to 8 players. Game includes: game board, 10 tokens, title deed cards, play money, chance cards, community chest cards, 32 houses, 12 hotels and two dice. Editorial ReviewIn 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, an unemployed heating engineer from Pennsylvania created the game of Monopoly. Realizing that his get-rich theme might appeal to other Americans, he had the game printed and distributed in a Philadelphia department store. When he couldn’t keep up with the overwhelming requests for more sets, he arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. And the rest, as they say, is history. But Monopoly is far from a quaint historical relic. To this day, it remains a riveting game of luck, chance, and savvy wheeling and dealing–all of which can make some lucky dog rich, rich, rich! Based on the purchase of Atlantic City real estate (a city currently renowned for its get-rich gambling opportunities), Monopoly is now printed in 26 languages with more than 200 million sets sold worldwide. Players still scoot the same beloved board pieces: the old shoe, the terrier, and the hot rod. This set also includes rules for a shortened version of the game and a new token, winner of Monopoly’s recent “design a token” contest. This is capitalism at its most fun and ruthless, a must-have edition in the family game closet. –Gail Hudson

Product DescriptionScribblenauts is a completely original gameplay experience that anyone can play, offering fun for all ages with two styles of gameplay and more than 200 levels. In Scribblenauts, players use the Nintendo DS touch-screen to help their character Maxwell acquire the Starite in each level by solving a series of puzzles armed with their stylus, notepad and imagination. Players jot down the word for any object that comes to mind in order to reach the goal. Every object behaves as it would in the real world, and players can combine countless objects to create completely new scenarios. Every level has more than one written object to use as a solution, opening up the game to endless replay. In Scribblenauts, players advance through ten worlds, each with eleven puzzle and eleven action levels for a total of 220 challenges to complete. Each level has a “par” for the number of objects suggested to finish the level. Beating a level with under par, earns “Ollars”, the in-game currency, which players can use to purchase new levels and music. Amazon. com Product Description Scribblenauts is a unique single player side-scrolling action game for the Nintendo DS that challenges players to solve spatially oriented puzzles like no game before it. In it players use an in-game notepad/keyboard, as well as the touch screen and stylus of the Nintendo DS, to conjure up solutions to the obstacles placed in the path of the game’s hero. Solutions are manifested in the form of literally thousands of items–many very unexpected–that are called up and take on a life of their own, resulting in puzzle-solving that is limited only by the player’s imagination. . caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul. indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table. callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td. vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images. amazon. com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg. png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } Get creative in collecting Starites. View larger. Gameplay Based around 2D side-scrolling action and word play, the premise of Scribblenauts is simple; quite literally, anything you write, you can use and reuse in the game. Players use the DS’ touch-screen and the in-game notepad/keyboard to help their character, Maxwell, as he moves throughout 220 increasingly difficult levels on his never-ending quest for the star-like “Starites. ” But it is not as easy as reaching up and plucking a Starite. Attaining them requires Maxwell to solve spatially oriented puzzles. To do this players describe objects via the notepad/keyboard, which in turn appear on the game screen and facilitate the starite making its way to Maxwell. There are literally thousands of items in the game, both utilitarian like ladders, ropes, cars and buses, to the outlandish items, such as invisibility cloaks, pirates and black holes. There are time limits on levels, as well as a limitation to the number of items that can be used per level. But regardless of these restrictions, the game is all about experimentation, imagination and endless replay value as players open their minds to the nearly limitless possibilities that are sure to make Scribblenauts unlike any side-scrolling platformer they have ever played. Key Features Create Your Own Interactive Experience – Objects you write down in the game are only limited by your imagination. Everyone Can Play – Scribblenauts features all-ages pick-up-and-play fun for everyone. Touch-screen Controls – Easy to pick up and play on Nintendo DS. If you can tap, you can play. Unlimited Replay Value – Use less objects to increase your score, or experiment with different objects for endless replay value. Write anything; solve everything. Playground Mode – Play the entire game in a sandbox style right on the title screen. Create and Share – Share levels you create with the level editor via your Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection.
