4.0 out of 5 stars This one got us talking and talking, December 28, 2004

By	K. Corn "reviewer" (Indianapolis,, IN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

The developers of this game did a great job coming up with questions designed to appeal to kids, questions like:
If you could star in a movie, which movie would you choose?
If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
The questions range from simple to a bit more complex, so that kids who like challenges as well as those who don't will enjoy the game.
Another thing: Although you can follow the rules and play this strictly as a board game, we used it while we were just sitting around the table having a casual chat. Sometimes the kids asked the question, sometimes the adults did...but we all learned more about one another...a LOT more...and many of the questions got us talking about family history, memories, etc. Lots of fun! It'd be great to take the questions along on a trip or while eating at a restaurant since they are surefire conversation starters but not so personal that anyone's "personal boundaries" will be invaded. Plus, there are no right or wrong answers and any information provided is strictly voluntary, revealing as much or as little as the respondent wants.
One caveat: You will eventually go through all the questions so this game won't last forever...unless you are able to find new people to participate. If so, it be used for years. In terms of fostering family closeness without any threatening or off-limits questions (in short, everyone has to play nicely together) this is great!

4.0 out of 5 stars Crazy fun, August 25, 2005

By	Porceleindoll (Japan) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

A game for the family--we played with my children, my brother and my step-mother, it was too much fun. We were talking about it the next day, the crazy answers and trying to figure out whose answer was whose.

I originally got the game as both an educational tool for my children to encourage their deeper thinking and communication skills, as well as for my classes (I teach English as a foreign language). And so far it has been a big hit, we can't wait to play it again.

On their turn, the player rolls the dice and moves accordingly. The spaces are all colored, using 4 different colors, similar to pictionary. The player then pulls out a question card and asks the question to everyone else. Everyone except the player writes their answer on their answer sheet and gives it to the person on the right of the present player. The person who has the answers then reads them one by one to the player, and the player tries to guess whose answer it was. If they are right, they move forward one. If not, they stay put.

It took us about 1 hour to get through the game, but we were never bored once the entire time. I would highly recommend this game as good fun for the family and sleepover with friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good family board game, January 16, 2007

By	Martha S. (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I am not a big fan of board games, but my children love them. Both my husband and I along with our children ages 9,11 and 14, had a great time playing. Unlike other games, this one can be played in a short period of time and you don't even really need to use the board if you don't want to. Even though we are a very close knit family, this game gave us a great opportunity to discover some little things that we did not know about each other. The game has a good mix of questions so that younger children can easily play. We had to skip some of the questions to get to more interesting ones. Overall, I would recommend this game.
