   Not what I had hoped. Boring for most participants. I have been through about half of the cards. So far, I haven’t found your explanation of the universal expression “okay”. Granted there are many. But since you asked me about my thoughts, what are yours? Or do I need to go through the rest of the cards?

   Let’s just say, I had more fun with this than everyone else did. It’s nice for the creative and curious mind but most people will not enjoy it and easily give up trying to create a story about the origin. I’ll keep it in my collection but I think kids would enjoy this more than adults or maybe it would be a good educational game to play in class.

   This game is so much fun! The only downside is that it doesn’t have a good deal of replay value for a player. As with a lot of trivia based games, if you are actually paying attention you’ll remember the answer. This one is a little different because you have to answer expression which is a lot easier to remember than things like dates and names. So once you know the answer to the card its hard to forget. Sucks but it’s not the games fault.

   I purchased 2 other bluffing games thinking they were this one, and even after trying the other two this one is still my favorite. Takes some patience and people who like to be creative. May want to have a few mini notebooks and pens for extra writing material. Would also suggest adding 30 more seconds to the timer to allow time for more creative answers.

   The product itself is fun. I’ve owned this game before. I just had people over to read and answer the cards and not play the game because most people don’t like games that involve a lot writing and reading bad hand writing. But the info on the cards is very informative and fun to pull out when having small gatherings. The low rating is due to the item not being shipped in a package at all. They literally taped the board game box shut and stuck the mailing labels on the box itself ruining its collector’s value permanently.

   This is a fun game for three or more people… the more people the better. You will learn about the origin of certain words or phrases while also learning about other players and how convincing they can be about their own made up origin. This is a fun game for adults or intelligent young adults.
