5.0 out of 5 stars Finaly, a game for people like us!, December 26, 2009

This review is from: Imagination Quelf Board Game (Toy)

I always liked games like Cranium, but have felt like they were made for the average person. The stunts and tasks are OK, and humming a tv theme in front of others is probably pushing the limits of regular people, but my friends and I are hams from way back in the day, and when we get together, we spontaneously do things that are ten times funnier and crazier than anything that game has us do. Enter Quelf, a game written for those of us who like a little attention and love to laugh.

You start the game by picking from a cast of hilarious characters (Queen Spatula is one) then you take turns rolling the dice to move around the board. The space you land on dictates the card category which range from serious and ridiculous questions (Does a chicken have lips and if it did, would he smack em?) to stunts (reorganize the room you are in until time runs out while using your best interior decorator impression), to creating awesome lists one person at a time until someone can't think of another one (list reasons you've used or heard when breaking up with someone), to performing (pretend you are a talking parrot and commentate on the last minute of a basketball game using one and two word sentences), to hilarious rules for you individually or for the group (anytime you take a drink, propose a rousing toast that all players join in on). If you can't (or won't, but come on, what kind of party pooper are you?) do a task, you are doomed to move backwards on the game board, further from the goal and victory!

Though there are a few somewhat racy cards (list places you've been naked) nothing is patently sexual or inappropriate. A few pop culture references may fly over the head of some younger players, but you won't feel like a bad parent for playing this in a room with kids in it. They could even join in some of the fun, or even better, the creators of this game have made an even more kid-friendly version called Flapdoodle.) Not only are the tasks a TON of fun, but you'll marvel at how they were able to come up with so many of them and keep the game funny throughout! I'm always a little sore at the end from laughing myself silly.

If you haven't already stopped reading this review, taken aback in horror, then I promise you'll love this game. You and your friends and family will laugh yourselves into a stupor and end up with plenty of fantastic memories.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun & easy to learn., December 24, 2009

We opened this on Christmas Eve...best decision ever. We laughed so hard. This game is fun and easy for a group to play. The cards have you answering weird questions and pulling off activities that are completely nuts, but funny. My kids got to watch me build a fort out of chairs and blankets and sit in it until my next turn. My son had to snort like a pig every time he laughed...the weirdness and ease of this game are what make it so unique and enjoyable. This is a game for people who are willing to stretch their silliness to the extremes.

I've only played this once but it was a hoot! I've read a negative review of this game stating that is was silly and pointless. I completely agree, but we had a blast. For example, My father-in-law had to pretend to be an archeologist with a lisp; one sister-in-law had to put a bowl on her head, knock on it with a spatula and ask if anyone was in there; I had to pretend to be the drill sergeant of the game pieces and yell at them when anyone scored points. I can see where serious gamers who are used to strategy games wouldn't enjoy this immense silliness. More introverted personalities might shy away, but if anyone draws a card that is absolutely too outlandish for them, they can always take the penalty (usually moving back spaces) for not performing the task. I'll admit that a few of the cards were flops, but most resulted in ridiculous fun. With that said, you need the right crowd to enjoy this. As long as you're with a group that can handle not taking themselves too seriously, you can have a good time that won't quite compare to your standard game night.
