If you love Scattergories, you're sure to be disappointed by all the corners cut to bring you the latest version of this game.
Rather than adding further comments about how fun, enjoyable, and entertaining the game concept itself is, I feel the need to point out some of the "features" of the new game packaging and setup that I was so upset about with my recent purchase. For some reason, even though the game's price is at least as high as it has always been (if not higher!) the quality of the game is much lower now. The "folders" where you slide in your list and answer sheets are of quite poor quality--they are now made of a very thin cardboard into which you slide a plastic strip and then fold the corrugated spine into place. I can't imagine that this game will last more than about a year, if that, before it is really beat up and potentially torn up. The lists are tiny, harder to read, and far more flimsy than in previous editions. Even if you're a fan of the new layout (clipping the list and answer sheet into place rather than using a pad and slipping the list behind it), the new folders are less user friendly than the original versions, especially for those with less dexterity, such as kids and older adults. In addition, I agree with a previous reviewer about the ridiculousness of the current battery setup in the buzzer; his review outlines the details of that issue quite nicely.
I could go on, but rather than continuing this rant, I will simply add a final note to all fellow Scattergories fans: BEWARE. If you, like me, have not "updated" your game in years, I highly recommend keeping what you've got and not wasting thirty bucks. What a letdown...

Parker Brothers should be ashamed. This is planned obsolescence at its best. We love this game and have for many years, but ours was getting worn out. I should have read the reviews! For the MUCH higher price, the quality and timer suck. I returned it because I knew it would have been shot after a few uses. I found an older, used one for $3 in great shape at a garage sale.
Too bad I didn't video the quality difference.

Mind boggling. You have a few minutes to think of words from a set of 12 categories all starting with the same letter. Try to think something creative and unique that the others won't guess as well. Double letters like 'Captain Crunch' will earn you double the points.
I was playing it yesterday with a group of 8 people. The game comes with only 6 pads and 6 sets of cards so we decided to team up in pairs. It worked out better than expected. We rolled the lettered-die, set the timer and ran to our corners.

Fun to play when relatives come over
We always break this game out when we have our relatives over for birthday parties and holidays. It's always fun to play. We also find out a lot about everyone by how they answer. Read more

This would be great for kids!
It would make them put their thinking caps on. I wish this was around when my mother and Aunt were alive. This maybe would have gotten them off UNO. Fun for the whole family. Read more
