   Great game for a group. Can adjust how many cards are played to make the game longer or shorter. Our family loved this. It was fast to play, easy to stop if needed, and we loved trying to think up out side the box clues.

   Basic game play: the guesser will draw a card then leaves or covers their eyes and a word is chosen that needs to be guesses. The rest of the players write down one word that they think will get the guesser to know the answer. The players will share their One Word with each other first and if anyone repeats a word someone else wrote those answers are disqualified. Then the guesser gets to see all remaining words to hopefully guess the correct answer.

   There is no real “winner” since you’re all working together to get someone to guess an answer. This is a good change of pace if you have people who are highly competitive.

   Pieces include cards with words, dry erase markers and plastic plates to write answers on.

   I was given this as a gift and bought a copy to give a friend who doesn’t have much experience with board games. It’s easy to learn and lots of fun. I ended up getting another copy for another friend to play with her kids who are 11 and 12. They love it as well although sometimes they have to veto a word that the children don’t know.

   Had this game suggested for group game night and it is great! I have played with adults (girls night and friends night), with my adult family members and with kids (ages 8 and 10). It is very easily to learn and doesn’t get too repetitive. It’s collaborative but not boring. Can play with 3-7 players but 4-6 seems best. I wonder if the dry erase markers will last long but they never do so I always assume I’ll have to replace them. Great game!

   I’m a gamer and love complex strategy games. However, I also like playing with my family and guests. This game is so easy to teach and play that I never see that glazed over look or people looking for the closest exit as I explain. Those in my family who run when I get out the games, have been surprised by how much they enjoy it, and it’s so simple that we have been able to accommodate new people to jump into the game. We’ve even played with more than 7 by just giving some players paper and pen. It’s a great one for non-gamers. You would need to be able to write and spell and have a decent vocabulary to play well, so that might exclude younger children.

   This is a fun and easy game. Everyone is on the same team. Comes with enough for 8 people to play, but you could easily buy two copies and play up to 16 people. Here is how it plays. One person (the active player) chooses a card without looking at it, shows it to everyone else and chooses a number between 1-5. Everyone else writes a one word clue to help the active player guess the word. But before, the active player looks at the clues, all the clue givers compare their one word clues. Any duplicated clues cannot be shown to the active player. The active player is then shown the unique clues (Just 1) and makes a guess on what the mystery word is. If the active player is write, the whole team gains a point. You are trying to get as many points as possible out of 13 cards. Fun game. Will eventually need an expansion set to provide more cards, which should be fairly inexpensive. However, this base set provides a lot of fun and replay-ability.

   I have enjoyed the game. Played a few times with groups of 6 -12. Works well, is rather quick.

    This is a fun party word game, in the vein of codenames, decrypto, taboo, and scattegories. One player is trying to guess a word that the other players are writing clues for, but if 2 players write the same clue they get cancelled out and the guesser doesn’t get to see that clue. Because it involves writing words, the youngest players won’t be able to play (my 5 year old plays codenames pictures with is, but can’t play this one), but it is very family friendly for kids old enough to write. The cooperative nature of this game is nice, and the score isn’t really important, similar to telestrations the joy in playing this game and the hilarity that ensues from odd clues is the goal, rather than in scoring. I think I slightly prefer codenames, but this game has more interaction and is more laid back. A fun family word game that works with a wide range of ages and player counts. The components are very simple. Dry erase markers, word cards, and plastic dry erase stands to wrote your word on. Very portable, doesn’t take a lot of table space. Perfect for a family reunion or a Thanksgiving get together.

    This is a fantastic mixed group party game. I’m not really sure why people think it’s too easy but maybe we just play it differently. Since it’s supposed to be a max of 7 we actually do teams and the first team to 7 wins. For groups it works out really, really well to split it up by teams (I’d recommend 4 to 6 per team). We just rotate around the team on who gets to guess next and it always ends up lasting at least half an hour, sometimes longer. It’s been such a success that at least half the people who have played have gone out and purchased it for themselves.

    For rule modification, and I think this works out much better, just rotate around who gets to be the guesser. I’m not sure why some folks thinks it’s easy because some of these words are nearly impossible to figure out – examples being “doping” and “corner” – try to think of one word clues for those!

    So, highly, highly recommend!

    It’s simple to learn, but there are still some interesting decisions to be made. It’s cooperative, so it’s a good fit for groups that can’t play competitive games without blood being drawn. I’m hoping more party games like this are on the horizon, because Cards Against Humanity and its derivatives are not for me.

    It’s a good game making both adults and children think. We are really enjoying this game.
