Awesome game! Too bad it's out of publication. Could use new cards after a while because after you play several games, answers are remembered on cards. Great group board game, can play with 4 or more players. The more, the better!

Etc is a fun game and easy for the whole family to play. Questions aren't terribly difficult so the game moves quickly.

I ordered this game for Christmas, through Amazon. Basically, you divide up into two teams. Each team is then given five things on a card to guess, all with the same set of initials. For example, if the initials are BB, circus creators would be Barnum & Bailey, star of My Favorite Martian and The Incredible Hulk would be Bill Bixby, longtime host of The Price is Right would be Bob Barker. You get the idea.

Based on how many the team got right, they then get to pick up to five chips, each with a different point value (2, 4 and 6 points). The points are face down when the chips are picked. The first team to reach 50 points wins.

A fun game that can get very addictive and competitive. In addition, Patch Products, the creators of this game, also make Buzzword, Blurt and Such & Such. I would recommend those games as well.

Although this game is a bit too easy for highly-educated adults, (the 3 PHDs and 2 MED's found it too easy, anyway) I think it will be great for my language-impaired high school students!
