My husband and I received this game as a gift. We were actually looking forward to playing it, thinking that it was some kind of Sopranos trivia game. Wrong! You have to place bets against your partner as to whether they could answer a question on their card. That's all there is to the game. It is a stupid premise that goes nowhere fast. don't waste your money.

My husband brought me this home one day because he knows I am a huge Sopranos fan. This game is idiotic. I read the directions 10 times and still dont know how you play it. Its better for a drinking game. Play with a group of friends, ask a question. If they are wrong - drink. If they are right - dont drink. The stupid game pieces and board you should just throw straight in the trash and just keep the trivia cards and play it as a drinking game like I told ya! Capiche?

We received this game as a gift, and I agree with the fellow reviewers, this game is terrible! The game designers didn't even game test.

But my wife and I decided to change the rules some. Perhaps this might help?

You start the game with 25 points. Your goal is to obtain 50 points. You place bets on if you think the other player has a chance to answer their questions correctly. You lose points if you guess incorrectly. The most you can bet on any one question is 3 points.

The game seems to flow better using these rule modifications.

Like everyone before said, the board and pieces suck as well as the so-called rules of gameplay...which make no sense.

Now, all that aside, the game would still be fun if you wanted to just ask questions, right?? WRONG

All of the questions are way too easy for a TRUE Sopranos fan.
We were done with these questions way too soon....
What a waste

(Because it's cheap and fast.)

The cards are stamped out of flimsy cardboard, and the chips aren't poker chips at all, but only Yahtzee chips.

It's kind of fun betting against the other players though, making the game not only about knowing your Soprano's trivia, but also about knowing your opponents. Instead of categories of questions, there are levels of difficulty, which ultimately means that it takes only a short while to play a round--unlike other trivia games that can eat your entire evening. It's strange that players pick their own levels though.

My recommendation: don't pay too much for it, and even though it comes in a seriously cool tin, don't take it too seriously.

If you like The Sopranos it is a good opportunity to spend some time with friends thal like this TV show too.
It covers just sesons 1 to 4 and has 1000 questions about that, some of them really hard. This game came into a beautiful tin box that is quite huge (10,5" x 10,5" x 3") and it is composed by 200 trivia cards with 5 questions on each one (on five different difficulty levels), a felt playing surface, 60 betting chips and a score pad.

I got this as a Christmas gift. This game was the WORST game i have ever played. The directions for the game is ridiculous and stupid and we had no desire to even seriously consider playing it. I got it for free as a gift and i still feel ripped off and want my money back. I can't imagine actually paying for it. I am sure the cast is very embarrassed that this game sucks so bad. The questions are ludicrous and there are misspellings and bad grammar as well. It is like they let some 9 year old kid make his own board game and only gave him an hour to do it. DON'T GET IT.
