The Game of Things

Sean Dibble

So, I have had the honor of playing this game a few times, and each time I have had nothing but fun playing it. The rules are simple one player reads a card, everyone including the reader writes down what they think is the best answer, folds it twice and hands it back to the reader. The reader then reads the card once more and then all the answers he/she was given, and the player to the left starts the round of guessing. With the guessing round a player tries to guess who wrote what, if correct the guesser gets a point and the person who he guessed is out of the round, this continues until only one person is left un-guessed (reader does not get a turn at guessing) and the player to the left becomes the new reader.

This game can be as innocent or as devious as you make it.

So the game calls for at least four players at least fourteen years of age or older. Now this game is great for a party game or an ice breaker at a dinner party where you know no one. That is what is so great about this game it is a quick two minute instruction and then everyone jumps in and has a blast with who comes up with what. Now with how it is set up, it can be a game that anyone can play; whether you're good and nice people, or evil, EVIL horrible monsters with no filter, because the cards are so generic they allow this; just beware of who you are playing with. for example one of the cards reads "Things....you should be able to win a Nobel Prize for" you can have answers that range from giving to charity or *$#@ing, its completely up to you.

Be sick, be silly, it's all up to you.

Nothing else really to say about the game, a great party game made by a great party game company in Hasbro and the Parker Bros. Quick and simple to play and can create a lot of laughs along the way. Only downfall is if you have that one really lucky friend that can just run the table when he guesses who said what.

Good:

-Easy to pick up

-Great Party/ ice breaker

-Can be played with anyone

Bad:

-If you know your friends to well you can easily run the table at guessing who said what
