Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Laughter is what it's all about in The Game of Things. In each round, players write an answer to a topic such as "Things you would like to ask a psychic" or "Things you shouldn't do with glue." Answers can be as outrageous and hilarious or as straight-forward and precise as you like. Everybody then takes turns trying to eliminate each other by guessing which player wrote which answer. The last person left wins the round. The Game of Things comes packaged in a wooden box with a sliding lid. Contents of The Game of Things: 300 Topic Cards, 1 Answer Pad, 1 Score Pad and Instructions.

Product Description

You won’t believe the hilarious, creative, outrageous and unforgettable Things your friends will say during this provocative party game! Draw a topic card and read it out loud. “Things a chimp thinks about when he sees you at the zoo.” Then the other players write down their own responses: “You think I’m weird looking?” “What are you looking at?” or perhaps “Are you my mommy?” Then try to figure out who said what! Remember, you can write anything that comes to mind… so be as fun as you want!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for groups!!! November 2, 2008

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

WOW!! Played this game for this first time on Halloween! This game is HILARIOUS!! Each player takes turns reading a card...then ALL players write down their answer without showing anyone...the "reader" then reads the answers aloud and each person must try to guess whom might have wrote that particular answer. Questions like "What you might find in a library" gets a whole new meaning when you are with a group of great, funny, close friends! This game is great for any get together...the more the merrier with this outrageous game!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Things has to be played to know February 26, 2009

This is one of those games that has to be tried out, and once you do, it's really funny. What it does is bring out the comedian in everyone. There's a point system, and it's fun trying to figure out who said what, but like Balderdash, what starts to happen is, people start to go for the laughs instead of the score. Running jokes start to appear - previous answers that make little sense for the new question, but they make everyone laugh. We've played the game where people in the group are still reminding each other of one particular answer a year later.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs some modifying.....goes slow. November 29, 2009

Bought this game yesterday with high hopes for fun! We have a group of friends that like to play games and this one seemed perfect for us. While we had moments of great laughter and fun, it was mostly way too slow. We will hopefully play again (I may have to do some convincing to the group though!), but will do so with some modifications taken from other similar games. One suggestion: get a dry erase board to write responses down on....makes it move quicker when you don't have to repeat the answers over and over.
