Editorial Review

It's rare indeed to come across a product that is truly engaging for adults of different generations, but Reminiscing Millennium is not only a fun game of trivia and memory, but a wonderful way to encourage people to swap stories about their lives. Using a collection of game booklets, each player (or team) takes a turn at the spinner, then has to answer a "Flashback" question on the decade that comes up. There are over 1,200 questions in the four books, and the ease of answering them is based not just on one's knowledge of entertainment, history, people, and pop culture, but in what decade you were born. An intriguing "point system" allows players to give each other a series of hints for each question, and what's truly unique about this game is the option to tell a story based upon the subject of the question for a game point. The result is an appealing mixture of trivia game and oral history, all in an attractive sepia-toned package that's great for a family reunion or just an informal evening of intergenerational nostalgia. --John Longenbaugh

Product Description

For 2 to 4 players or teams

This is the game for people over 30 (and the younger people they let play)! You're not getting older, you're getting better...at Reminiscing, the game that proves crow's feet and wrinkles don't just happen...they're earned! How much do you remember about the "good old days'" Do you recall dancing to Elvis records...or was it "Disco Duck'" Were you a Hippie, a Yippee, a Yuppie, or just confused' Reminiscing takes you on a nostalgic journey from the 1940's to the 1990's. Players over the tender age of 30 have a better chance of competing against more mature, veteran reminiscers, but let the younger people play, too. They might learn something. Game contains over 1,200 nostalgic questions from six decades, over 5,000 memory jogging clues, eight scoring pegs, four player booklets, one reminiscing booklet, one spinner, and one score keeping game board.

We tried playing this game with a group aging 50-62. The clues were not helpful at all and most of the time made no sense. I do not recommend this game.

This game was badly formulated. We got it as a gift and played it with friends. It was so bad, it was really impossible to play. I think 20 yr olds put it together, with no idea about the history of the decades the game covers. The hints are horrible. After playing once, we put it in the trash.

This review is from: Reminiscing - New Century Edition Board Game (Toy)

I bought this game as an Xmas gift for my husband thinking it would be great fun. The box's exterior information gives a potential buyer the impression it is great fun-- misleading to say the least. The instructions are unclear and poorly written, leaving us with questions that we hoped would be answered as we played. The clues/hints are TERRIBLE--not helpful in the least. We spent most of our time waiting for someone to win so we could put it away. I would like to send it back to its originators and be refunded. I would NOT recommend this game to anyone.
