I've played Buzzword in my Wednesday gaming group since it came out around 2005 or so. Each card is double sided and has ten things that contain a common word or name. Two teams alternate in trying to come up with answers in a 45-second time limit. If the "buzzword" is Rock:

Music that Elvis and Little Richard are pioneers of - Rock & Roll
Hard chewing sweet stuff - Rock candy
Played McMillan on TV - Rock Hudson
Prudential company's trademark symbol - Rock of Gilbraltar

You get the idea. Team play is good, because often two, three or four heads are better than one. When time is up, the other team gets five seconds for each clue you passed on or didn't get to. Each correct answer is one point. The first team to get 50 points wins, but both teams get the same amount of turns, so if the team that went first gets 50 points first, the other team should get a final turn to try to tie or beat them, unless the first team has more than a 10-point lead, making a tie impossible.

This a fun and fast paced game that keeps you on your toes mentally. I personally like games like this. Over a million copies of Buzzword have been sold, so others agree with this. When it's your team's turn, someone from the other team should keep time and score. A great game that can get quite competitive.

Our whole family loves this game! Great for family evenings at home. My 12 year old daughter plays this with her friends at sleepovers. Fun for all ages.
