The instructions for this game are very confusing. Once we thought we had the rules figured out, we decided that the rules were stupid. Only one person plays at a time until they answer incorrectly, or win the game. If you answer incorrectly, then you can't win. If you win, the games over.

We decided to just take turns asking questions, and made up our own rules. The questions were quite easy for the adults, until we got to 5th grade. My 5th grade daughter could answer most of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade questions, and some of the 4th and 5th.

If you're okay with inventing your own rules, then it is fun and not too expensive.

The game was confusing at first, because the rules are not explained well. We ended up just making up our own rules, because it is not fun to just have one person answer the whole time. We don't play it that much and I believe it is in a closet now. I would rather have the tv version than the board game.

Hi well to start I LOVE THIS GAME!!! I was excited when we got it cause I like the show but this is more fun then the show. Cause you get to be in it and I love how you can cheat off the other players. Like when I'm stuck on a question I can cheat off my parents and sometimes the other way around. But anyway I wish there were actuall people on the moving pieces instead of pictures. Cause We're allways getting them confused. Well anyways it's a fun game the only problem is if you run out of cards, But gotta go hope this was helpful Brooke
