This review is from: Finish Lines Game (Toy)

We enjoyed the game, but playing with a group of 3 people we went through 50 of the 500 "famous lines" in a single game. For the price, I would have expected more "famous lines". The cards and parts are durable, but I fear playing this game too many times would quickly exhaust all the questions.

It seems that in this wonderfully creative game there is something for all ages. Whether it is a timeless quote from a song everyone remembers to a line from a Disney movie; everyone will fall in love with it. It's like a game you've played all your life, but just discovered.

The best thing in life . . .? "I'll make him and offer . . .? If at first you don't succeed . . .? Jack Sprat could eat no fat . . .? If you can't stand the heat . . .? Think you can finish the lines, and then you are ready to play Finish Lines and have as much fun as I did.

Following the easy directions I was up and playing in minutes of opening the box. One thing to keep in mind is that there are small wooden tile, so you need to keep that small children away from the game.

Within 5 categories you have to finish the lines to collect tiles and fill up your space, first one to do this is the winner. You have lines from music, TV, speeches, proverbs and even books. There are 500 cards and the game plays fairly quickly, one thing is that the limited amount of cards will have you repeating some cards in a short amount of time.

I found that I was able to complete the game in about 30 to 45 minutes and you can have up to 6 players and the more the merrier. While the game is made for teenager to adult, some of the phrases will give the younger crowd a little trouble, but that's the fun of the game. Also I found that team play or men vs. women adds a whole new twist to the game.

Overall this was great party or family game and is made for just about any occasion. I certainly hope that there is additional card sets as I can see this game doing very well.
