I used this game in my ESOL classroom and the kids loved it! They laughed heartily at the pictures and anticipated the new round of photos with excitement. They thought they were so funny. Since my kids were learning English, they phrases or terms used on the cards are very difficult, but that didn't meant I couldn't abbreviate the meanings in some way so they could understand. It was very good concept and English language learning. The kids loved the game and the variety of rounds was fun too. There is one where four cards are used for each individual to decide "the procrastinator" for example, and one round where the group decides on an answer and one individual has to guess. I highly recommend this game.

Faces is a party game played in rounds. In the first three rounds, six pictures are shown of men, women and animals, respectively. Some of the animals look better than the people, and I'm not kidding!! The people pics are B&W and are from the 19th century, judging from the fashion styles seen. In turn, each player chooses one of the pictures to respond to a question asked, like "Which one looks the grumpiest?" Others try to guess which picture that played picked. You get to advance on the game board if you do. Then in another round, two pictures are shown, and the person whose turn it is must guess which of the two pictures a certain player submitted. First one to reach the Finish space wins.

A fun game that will provide laughs. Some of the pictures are hysterical. This game is out of print, but if you're looking for a party game to add to your collection, consider this one.

I played this game with a few friends and we had a great time. It is really fun trying to figure out which face you think your friends are going to go for. I had such a good time that another friend and I decided the buy the game for ourselves.

Fun game. Children and adults alike have enjoyed this. It is a hit at our monthly "Game Night."

I was looking forward to getting the game because it looked like a great game to use as writing prompts or impromptu speaking in my classroom. We played the game as a family (kids 10 and 7), but tired of it quickly. The photos of the people are era specific with little to no diversity and in black and white. I would have loved to have seen modern photos in vibrant colors with a diverse group of people and varying expressions. The animal photos are in color and slightly more interesting. We will probably not play this game often. I think with a late night and a good case of the giggles, it may be comparable to Apples to Apples with photos, but not nearly as fun.

This game is hilarious - all ages of our family have had a good laugh playing. Who are those people??

When I contacted Buffalo Games, they said this had been discontinued. I was thrilled to find it on Amazon! Since I got it during the summer, and school is not in session, I have not yet tried it out on my high school students. However, it looks like it will be great for my kids that have trouble thinking beyond themselves and really paying attention to details in others. It is well designed and fun!
