Product Description

MOODS adult PARTY game. Made by Hasbro in 2000 and now OUT OF PRINT!

"There's nothing sexier than a lawn mower!"

This phrase sounds pretty comical when you read it out loud - but the real fun begins when you have to read it in one of the many moods on the game board. Can you say it and sound Sneaky? Dazed? Surprised? Romantic? It's not WHAT you say - it's HOW you say it! So, the more convincing you are, the further ahead you move. It's totally hilarious fun for everyone with 120 clever and amusing phrases and 60 different moods! Play over and over because no two games are ever the same!

4.0 out of 5 stars fun adult game, December 17, 2001

I bought this game not too long ago. It's really simple to learn and just as simple to play. So, if you're looking for a game that's not too complicated, this is one for you.

You are given a phrase like "I love my rubber ducky" and have to say it in a certain mood. For example: Bossy. The game can get quite funny sometimes. The other players have to choose which of the moods you are acting out.

A little bit of strategy is also a part of the game. Each player is given 4 chips with the numbers 1-4 on them. Depending on how confident you are in guessing the mood, you wager accordingly. If you use your #4 chip on the play and guess correctly, you move 4 spaces. But if you're wrong, you have wasted a 4 chip for that round and won't be able to use it again until you have used your other chips.

The only drawback is that the game almost has to be played at a table. You can't play it with people scattered across the room. Because to vote on which mood you think the person is portraying, everyone has to slap a small chip quickly down on the table at the same time (This way no one can change their vote based on the popular consensus). This is impossible to do unless you're all sitting around the board. I think the game makers could have come up with a better way for players to vote.

Overall, though, it's a great game for teens and adults. I reccommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the perfect game, but lots of silly fun, December 4, 2001

This review is from: Moods Board Game (Toy)

We bought this while visitng some friends out of town when we discovered they had no board games. Pretty much you act out in different emotions and people have to guess which emotion you are. What makes it funny is the the types of sentences you have to say with emotion (Imagine having to say your first pet was a gorilla while emoting jealousy). The actual game play isn't too brilliant but it is quick and you'll have fun seeing who in your group is truly the theatrical type. It's not who you think I'd bet. Would be great for a drama class or group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moods - A great speech tool!, February 1, 2002

My two children are involved in speech at school. This game is ideal for practice in how to express yourself in many different ways. I think it would be a fun tool for speech teachers to use with students to loosen them up and help them practice different dramatic expressions. I give it a 5 rating because it is a great ice-breaker and educational as well!
