Customer Reviews

The best game I've ever played. Good for all generations.
I was given the US edition of this card game as a gift and everyone who plays it loves it. The rules are simple and even those under the recommended age can play with few minor adjustments.

But even though it's easy the game never seems too "simple"!

While it is educational it is not "highbrow" and it does not feel like a lesson. But it does improve vocabulary - as an adult I have learned many new words playing it.

I highly reccomend this game - whether as a party game for adults or as a diversion from the television for the kids. This game is so much fun!

Best. Game. Ever.
This game is absolutely hilarious and is the most fun I have ever had out of a box.
The idea of the game is simple: you have seven cards in your hand with the name of a person, place, or thing — perhaps Tony Blair, candyfloss, the Millennium Dome, etc. — and one player (called the judge) plays a card with an adjective — perhaps happy, sticky, useless. Then each player quickly plays one of their cards that they think meets the description of the adjective. The judge decides which of the cards is most descriptive and that player scores a point. Repeat until a predetermined amount of points.
This game is really outstanding and funny, especially if the judge describes why each card other than the winning one has been rejected. The only thing that I might fault it for is that you really need five or six players for it to run well.

Incomparable Fun
I was introduced to this game a year ago and fell in love with it. It's great for kids and adults and sure to provide plenty of fun.

Each player has seven red cards in their hand. They have actions or nouns on them. Things like "Charging Rhinos," "James Bond," "Paying Taxes," "Mirror," or "Walt Disney."

Each round has a judge. The judge turns over the top green card, which contains an adjective like creative, handsome, feminine, horrid, scary, etc. Each player then picks the card from their hand they feel best matches the green card and plays it face down. Now the fun starts. The judge picks the red card he or she feels best matches the green card. Obviously, there are some loosers since it's hard with seven cards to always match everything. But there are usually some good options as well. Once the winner of that round has been chosen, they take the green card and then become the judge of the next round.

Obviously, the more you know about the people you're playing with, the better off you'll be. And the funnier it can get. And you'll get to know other people quickly this way.

This really is a game that kids and adults can play together and keep everyone entertained and competitive. And it's rather addicting. I can't wait to play it again.
