Editorial Review

Married couples may care for each other, but how well do they know each other? Laugh yourselves silly with The Newlywed Game, a memory/relationship test for two to four couples. There are 250 strange and funny questions ("What's your husband's favorite--wine, woman, or song?"). Plus, 20 bonus questions are available to use in the two, five-question rounds, one each for husbands and wives. Match answers to score points, but make sure to take time to savor the answers. Some can be hysterically funny, especially when mismatched. Many of the questions refer to wedding-related events, so couples who have avoided commitment ceremonies might want to try something else. It's tons of fun for both newlyweds and veteran spouses. --Rob Lightner

Wow -- I bought this to use at a bridal shower, and I must say that I was really surprised at just how, to put it bluntly, JUNKY the game is. Not only are the booklets flimsy and cheaply made, they are full of spelling and punctuation errors as well! There are also LOTS of repeat questions for whatever reason...

Not that I was totally surprised, but many of the questions are sexist or manage to force you to put down your partner's physical appearance, lack of tidiness, sexual ability ect. ect... No matter how funny those things might be to some players, like all jokes they get old after awhile, and with this game it does not take long.

Also, if you're offended by brazen sexism and heterosexism, this game is not for you... I found it odd how many times the game managed to start questions off with "If your husband were gay..." or "If your husband were a cross dresser..." not to mention the sexist and out of date questions regarding gender roles... I always think the most interesting questions are the ones that push your limits as to what you know about your partner, not how many times you can comment on their big butt or small package.

Honestly, I feel like I am coming off as a humorless P.C. freak, but I really am not -- I love to play funny board games just as much as the next person! :) Like I said in the title, this game would be much more fun if you made up your own questions and used a marker and some paper... Even if you love the Newlywed game in all it's sexist and depreciating glory, you are bound to at least be disappointed with the lack of quality of the game itself...

This review is from: Classic The Newly Wed Game-NEW (Toy)

A group of my married friends played this game on New Year's Eve and we barely noticed that it was almost midnight. This game asks some random questions that very few people would know about their spouses but nothing that would cause too much embarrassment.

We has such a good time that we have played it over and over again with other couples. The more couples involved the better the game is. The only problem is after a few plays you tend to get some of the same questions over again and then it is not as much fun.

This game is played much like the television show was - a moderator asks the questions while half of the couple is out of the room or otherwise preoccupied - then the couples reconvene and the spouse must guess what his or her sweetie has written down as the answer.

From asking about your spouses favorite color to the most outrageous place you have made whoopee - you come away with sore tummy muscles from laughing so hard and a new appreciation for your spouse (if not a few new facts about them that you did not know previously).

Funny to the core. __________________________________________________

I got this game as a wedding gift, and I'll admit, it's fun. But as previous reviewers have said, the questions do need updating. That and the question booklet has about 50 questions in it. Total. There are so few questions that my wife and I quickly got bored with it. When friends come over and want to play, we have to skip to the last questions in the booklet since they're the only ones we haven't read.
