Editorial Review

Furrowed brows and hearty laughter are the most likely outcome of this fun but challenging new game from Game Development Group. The object is to be the first to reach the end of the game board. "Been there, done that," you're thinking? Look again. In fact, stare hard--because that's the only way you'll get anywhere. Players (individually or in teams) must stare at an image on a card for 20 seconds. Actually, that's the "challenging" version. Depending on the relative level of masochism at the table, you can opt for the "almost impossible" version--stare for 10 seconds--or the "general" version, stare for 30 seconds (best if there are kids playing), and then answer questions about what you saw. It's not easy folks--just try to remember what color socks the man next to you on the bus was wearing this morning, or how many people were reading magazines. Of course, you weren't staring.... --Rachel Radway

Product Description

In STARE! - the game - a blank stare won't do. You've got to be thinking while you gaze. In the freshly remixed Stare! Second Edition, this award winning game has gotten even better -- with all new images and larger cards. In this fun and unique game you are challenged to absorb and correctly recall as many details as possible about an image, but you only have 20 seconds - so you better make them count! Images are varied and interesting to look at. It might be a movie poster, old ad, comic book cover, work of art and more. When time is up, an opponent will flip over the card and ask you a series of questions about the image to see how much you can recall. Was the cat sitting on the chair or on the floor? What color was the woman's hat? Keep going, as long as you answer correctly. Guess right and move forward. This game also allows for different levels of play - experts try a 10-second time limit, novices try 30-seconds. Includes 1800 questions on 300 image cards, game board, sand timer, playing pieces, die, and instruction sheet.

This is a great game for the whole family. You don't need paper and pencil and playing in teams is great.

I bought this game for my homeschooled 10 year old son for Christmas. He loves playing this game with his friends and with my husband and I. We were unable to find this game in any store so we were very happy when we found it online. Now that he has introduced his friends to it, they all want it as well as some friends of mine who are public school teachers. They have purchased a couple of these to use in their classrooms! Great game.

It didn't seem that challenging -- look at the pictures on a card and then answer questions. However, just when you think you have studied the card deeply for 20 seconds, it all turns to air. The color of a dress, what was someone holding in their hand, how many flowers in a vase -- ????
