This is a great game - or set of games more accurately! Each of the different mini-games inside are a blast. It was the most fun a group of 7 of my friends have had in years playing a game. "Clay smoothie" and "Bouncers" seemed to be the favorites. I think it's a great game for young adults. It sets a fun party atmosphere and is a great way to get to know the other people. You won't be disappointed!

After reading the rave reviews, I was excited to receive this game as a Christmas gift. I am a board game junkie and I'm always looking for new party games. Well, I finally had a party at my house this past weekend and this is the first game we played. What a disappointment!!!

We all thought this game was lame and lacking in creativity and fun. And the rules...OMG! Every game has a new set so we kept having to refer back to the instructions. One of our guests had played this at another party and she was surprised we even managed to get through an entire game. At the other party, they gave up after a few rounds. It was just too frustrating having to refer back to the instructions constantly.

At my party, there were 21 people playing, ranging in age from their early 20's to late 30's. Since I live in a small condo, some of the challenges posed by the Bouncers game required too much space. Hum Punch was beyond difficult. Most of the songs we had never heard of before or were beyond hummable. In the end, we opted to change how that game worked. Playing the other games, a Topic was given so the answers were shouted out before the picture was drawn, acted out, or sculpted. For instance, sculpt something found "at a gym". Well, before the person started sculpting, answers were shouted, "weights", "bodybuilders", "treadmill", etc. Since it's meant to be fun, I'm not going to tell my game players to wait before the action is started.

I don't know. This game just didn't work for us at all. I'd definitely save your money and stick with Cranium. You're guaranteed to have more fun with that game.

Partini is a great game. Actually, it is multiple games in one. It helps if the group is somewhat sober, but still wants a good time. Probably geared to the 25-45 crowd (or some really hip 45-60 year olds)especially with the music choices in the humming game. It is fairly similar to Cranium (molding things out of clay, humming songs, etc.) but with more of an adult spin. It adds elements of games like truth or dare, beer pong, quarters, etc.
My friends and I played this at a beach house on a rainy night and we really enjoyed it. The only drawback was that my friends were too drunk when they started the game and started to pass out right in the middle. Which was not the fault of Partini at all.

Great, easy game for adults who are looking for relaxation and fun. The game does not take a lot concentration like some trivia games or pictionary, etc. Anyone can play which works well for those who just want to have a good time without having to "be smart."

We are Cranium and Beyond Balderdash fans in our household (we moved on from Taboo and Pictionary--our previous faves). Those two games get played the most on game night and get multiple requests. As someone who owns over 40 board games, we know most games copy others and it's hard to be original. This game is a total rip off Cranium without using as much thinking power....BUT that's exactly what we like about it. We love Cranium but sometimes you just want to play a game to play...not think critically and seriously (trying to figure out trivia and jumbled up words). It's not a complete thoughtless game but definitely lighter than Cranium. The "bouncers" part of the game is original and gets people up and moving. Overall, it's a keeper and will be added to our game rotations.

I'm not sure if it is because my fiance and I have been playing Cranium since it came out or what but I didn't think this was as fun as others were reviewing it as.

The humming category is terrible. It has too many odd songs, either are really OLD or hard as heck to hum. We've started playing without those in the pile.

Make sure to play with good/close friends because the one dice category is so unfair if you don't really know someone in the group (say, someone's new girlfriend). It's an easy way to cheat if only 1 person knows that person.

They have fun categories...I just think it was built not so good. They have a good idea, they just need to modify it a little bit.

If you need a game for a party, this is an OK game to have. I'd recommend all the Cranium games over this though...

This is a fun game to be played with a group of any size and any age; somewhat like charades with a twist or two. The humming part can be frustrating and almost impossible, however, and so we revised a few of the rules to accommodate. I'd give it four stars (as opposed to five) because it seems more appropriate for the younger generation (20s - 30s).

We own a couple of board games starting from Taboo, Pictionary, Apples to Apples, etc. But this one is different in a really good way. This game is being designed very intellectually.

There are 6 mini games which are included in this box.
So you can virtually have your guests play different games and keep them busy in small groups. In that way everyone don't have to wait for their turn in other traditional board games. Also this game is a real ice breaker among your guests if some people meet each other for first time.

Its real fun to play the minigames. We particularly likes the "What not " and "Write up. The write up is really funny in the sense that, it brings out some feeling about your team mate. We love the "Clay Smoothie" also. Its a different version of Pictionary I would say. You have to make a figure to show it to your team mates to recognize it. This is particularly funny because people make really funny figures and sometimes the team mates get it totally wrong and then you realize that it was not that at all.

Overall great game. I would recommend it for everyone in this chirstmas.

This was such fun. 10 of us played--ages 8 to 70 and everyone had fun. This is a family favorite now!

I just played Partini last night and was shocked by how similar it is to Cranium. If anything in this game was better then Cranium I would share but Cranium is far superior.

Great game to play with a minimum of four people. Not difficult to play for guests and can be quickly explained. A nice ice breaker and a good time!
