5.0 out of 5 stars Fun party game that lets you be creative September 11, 2011

Someone brought this game to a game meetup here in New York City. I tried it and liked it a lot. Up to six can play and there's a whole bunch of weird pictures on the board and 20 questions. The board is double sided with different pictures on each side. Here's how you play the game.

Each player takes a turn as the judge and takes a picture from the pile. A special 20-sided die determines which question on the board you will answer. Everyone except the judge writes an answer in regard to the picture showing. The person whose answer was chosen best by the judge gets to place one of his/her markers on the board. Get three of your markers in a row, or be the first to place all five of your markers on the board and you win.

A fun game that's easy to learn and allows for creativity with answers. This game is from All Things Equal, the same people who put out Loaded Questions, The Joke Game, The New Yorker Caption Game and Words of Wiz Dumb. Get this game and spice up your party night.

3.0 out of 5 stars Replay Fail? December 30, 2011

By MasterAP

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   

The board game is double-sided so that you will get double the family photos. You roll the dice and whatever number you roll, there is a question designated to that number. The game play is similar to Balderdash in that you have to make up your own answers to the questions (i.e. "What happened right after this picture was taken?) and the roller has to choose his/her favorite and then try to guess who wrote which answer.

In this way, there isn't a right or wrong answer so players won't have to worry about feeling stupid.

Yet the questions really didn't bring out the hilarity that Balderdash typically does. Maybe we need to play this game later in the night...

I'm not sure how often this game will be played. Once each player has a turn at rolling the dice, you'll want to try new questions instead of repeating #4, for example, over and over and with the two sides of the board, you do get added photos but you'll get tired of looking at the same pictures after a couple games.

Another issue was that many of the photos didn't seem that awkward. (Is that an indication to my own family perhaps?) I remember sharing the photos around the table and people wondering what was the awkward part. The website has much better pictures that will cause you to cry laughing. These photos didn't evoke so much as a "huh".

Perhaps they'll add expansion packs with new photos at a later time.

My suggestion would be to skip the game and, if need be, gather the folks around the computer and laugh at the website.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Times for Adults :) October 10, 2011

We bought this game for our monthly game night and it was a big hit. At first the rules seemed a little vague in places and the first round people weren't exactly sure what to do when. We quickly figured it out and had a great time making innapropriate (we're all adults) comments relating to the question and photo at hand. I thought it was also really smart to have the game baord be double-sided. It's like getting two games in one, so if you are bored with or played too much with the photos on one side, you can flip it to the other and make fun of those ones. The game is harder to play with people whom you don't know their sense of humor, but it's a good way to learn! I'd recommend this game for college age or older.
