Product Description

From the Manufacturer

To paraphrase the great John Lennon, “a game is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” Such is the case with Sounds Like a Plan, the latest party game from the creative minds that also brought us the million-selling In a Pickle. As so many inventors tell us, the best ideas come not when they are focused on trying to make something, but when they are busy doing other things. So if you want our advice about how to make the next great game, don’t plan for it and it will certainly happen. What's the best plan for climbing Mt. Everest? How about the worst plan for making a million bucks? Find out in this party game that's all about giving outrageous advice. Select a card containing a piece of advice that best fits the judge's chosen activity. Score points if the judge takes your advice, but keep in mind that plans change with the roll of a die… You might have to give out bad advice, your grandma's advice, or even advice from a psychic. Take our advice and play today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun party game that's good for groups December 6, 2010
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
I opened up this game and played it over Thanksgiving weekend. It was a smash hit. There are three "to do" lists on each card. The chooser (or judge) picks. Here's a sample:

How to make a million
How to fix a flat tire
How to find the perfect mate

The chooser then rolls the special die, which will land on:

Best - give the best advice
Worst - give the worst advice
Kid - give advice a kid might say
Grandma - give advice your Grandma might say
Psychic - the chooser secretly selects one of the other options and everyone turns in a card without knowing. (the chooser might want to write his/her choice on paper, to make things legit)
Wild - the chooser selects an option and tells the others what it is

The chooser then says which of the three lists he/she has chosen, except if the Psychic is rolled. Read above.

Based on this, everyone hands in one of their five advice cards, hoping the chooser selects theirs. Players should take an advice card after each turn to ensure they have five cards. The chooser selects up to five cards. The player whose advice the chooser likes best will move five spaces on the board. Others will move one space less, from four to one space(s). Note that up to eight can play, so if there are more than five choices, some players will not advance on a turn. When you're the chooser, you don't move. The first one to reach the finish wins.

A fun game with simple rules, and everyone is involved on each turn, so there's no sitting around and waiting. Good game for a large group, and you'll have a few laughs along the way from some of the advice players hand in.

Our family loves the game Apples to Apples where one person serves as a "judge" for each definition so when I read that this game might be just as much fun, I had to buy it. We have played with family members ranging in age from 12 to 49 and had a blast each time. Even our teenagers love it. It is great fun to try to determine what each individual "judge" might choose and I think it's great for kids to try to learn to understand other perspectives--hilarious as well!

We played this game a couple of times during a family reunion vacation. We had players from age 10 to adult. Some of the topics were unfamiliar to the younger players but they still had fun. Most liked it better than Apples to Apples.

lots of fun. has a similar feel to "apples to apples" if you have played that game. Basically one person is the judge and the others try to select a card that best matches... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game For a Group of People!
This is a great game with a group of people. It's similar to Apples to Apples, but with advice instead of definitions. Very amusing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative
Game that encourages creativity and is engaging to Tweens and adults alike. Dispensing and evaluating advice from different perspectives makes for a fun evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars family fun
I like how the game keeps scores. Unlike most games that give only one point for the winner and zero point for all the losers, it gives out points up to 5 people.

We unwrapped this gift during Christmas, and as soon as we took off the plastic there was a smell. The game was mouldy. Awful.

My 12 year old got this for his birthday and the five of us sat down that night to play. For game-lovers, it's like a combination of Apples to Apples and Cranium's Whonu. Read more
