Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Had we included a category card titled "Great party games," Hit or Miss would surely be one of the top games on our list. We love how it incorporates many attributes that mark a fun party game: strong player interaction, opportunities to be creative, as well as a good combination of luck and skill. Strategy tip: This game rewards you both for being in tune with what your opponents are thinking as well as for creativity. Try to list an even number of common items as well as unique ones.
Product Description
Sharpen your pencils - and your intuition - for this quick playing "think-in-sync" party game. Draw a category card and in 45 seconds, list as many related words that come to mind. When the timer runs out, roll the die - if it lands on HIT, pick a word that you think everyone wrote; if it lands on MISS, pick one that only you wrote. Choose wisely and score big points. The player with the highest score wins. Hit or Miss - the cant MISS game that will turn your next party into a HIT! 3-8 Players Ages 10+

My teenage daughter and I first played this game at a friend's home. We both had such a great time... I had to buy it. We have now played it with other friends and relatives who have visited our home, and EVERYONE seems to love it! It is an easy game to play, and perfect for all ages! Unlike other games - where once you have played (or used a certain card in play) you cannot play again - with Hit or Miss, it is a new game everytime you play! New responses are given in various categories, and some are just hilarious!
We recently played with a group of friends, and the category was "Things you do to make yourself look better" - the responses varied... makeup, plastic surgery, etc. My answer got so many laughs... "Hang out with ugly people!"
My son and his fiance came for a visit with some friends a few weeks ago, and we busted out this game. Their responses were so funny, I laughed until I cried.

We received this game as a gift and decided to give it a try at a family/friends party. There were kids from ages 10 to 60+. It was easy for everyone to understand and the laughs started within minutes. Our 2 teenagers even play it when their friends are over. We've given it as a gift and people have asked us to bring it when visiting. If you're looking for a game to play with friends or a family game, this is a great choice.

I played this game with my wife's family and spouses and it was not nearly as good as other offerings in this genre. It is a cross between Apples to Apples and Balderdash with less character than either. The object of the game is to flip over a card and then everyone scribbles down as many of a type of thing as possible (I.e. "Animals at a zoo") within a time frame. Then you go around the table rolling a die that says "hit, miss, or wild card" and try to pick something off your list that either every one has on their lists (for hit) or nobody has (for miss). You get points for guessing what others will/won't have and they get points for out guessing you. It is a simple concept but the execution leaves too much room for metagaming and rulemongering.
I'm not sure what other reviewers found so "hilarious" about this game. The topics are actually quite dry for the most part: medical specialties, airlines, animals native to Australia, etc. There is very little of the inherent humor of some other games that include suggestive or zany topics. It really felt more like Scrabble than a "party game" at times because of the lists of words people generated. Sure you could throw a crazy word in there but in the seconds you have to write humor was reserved for someone who has no intention of winning.
The main flaw is that the rules leave words up to debate too much. There are so many games of this type with clearer rules and more flavor that I would recommend giving Hit or Miss a miss.

Hit or Miss is a Hit!
I recently learned this game with a group of people at a game party and it was really a lot of fun. It's not intimidating and everyone can participate easily. A good group game!
