Cards from the Theme Decks and Booster Packs contain character catch phrases and quotes ("Exxxcellent!"), as well as fun gameplay that fans and trading card game players have come to expect from Wizards of the Coast products.
The game is designed fo 2 to 6 players, and the winner is the first to score seven points. Pre-made Theme decks include Character, Scene and Action cards, which can be modified by the addition of booster packs.
Each player must have his or her own 40-card deck to play The Simpsons trading card game.
