(What's this?)

This game is a ton of fun. I played it with a mixed group of people ages 26-56. Other reviews have went over many times how the game is played. I'll focus on the benifits of playing it.

Four ladies/young women sitting around the table that all of a sudden are getting up acting like animals, saying funny things, acting out all manner of actions. (acting like a snake with sound picture that) We laughed until we cried. I don't know when I have laughed so hard. I laugh even to think how we looked to others. And the way it looks when it gets to 8 things in a row it can be really funny.

It is a great game for memory building and good belly laughs are proven to be good for the health, mind and body.The cards are well coated and very durable as is the board and game markers. I would say this game will withstand years of laughter giving fun.

As we were playing one of the women's husand came in the house and thought we had lost our minds, jumping around like monkeys, evil laughing,swimming and saying "gotcha", in a word it's a HOOT.

A word of warning...if you are over 50 you won't want to have a full bladder if you know what I mean. LOL

This review is from: Repeat Pete - Can you Do What Pete Does Without Missing a Beat (Toy)

(What's this?)

This game has quickly become a family favorite. The kids love to play it for family game night. My 10 year old states, "This is the funnest game we've ever had!"

The game play is fairly simple: There is a deck of cards that each has a different action of phrase on it. Play begins with the first player drawing a card, and doing the action or phrase. The next player then draws a card, does the previous player's action or phrase, and then does what is on his own card. And so the game play continues, adding an action or phrase with each player who goes, until someone messes up. The most actions we've gotten up to is 7, which is quite a lot to remember, especially when you aren't really sure sometimes what the action was supposed to represent. Example, my husband looked as if he was playing a video game, when he action was actually "Twiddling thumbs".
Each action/phrase must be done in the correct order and exactly like the other people did it. Very tough!

Examples of actions/phrases are:
Flap your arms and say "I can Fly! I can Fly!"
Move and make noises like a kangaroo (dear son, hopped around the table and kept saying "Criky Mate!" Too funny!)
Put on lipstick (I about fell out of my chair laughing when hubby did this!")
Say "No Way"
Make noises and actions like a turkey/chicken/seal/alligator/fish

As for educational value, I think this game is great because the kids HAVE to pay attention. I find that my kids do not pay attention to things well, but this game forces them to in order to compete with the other players. We've also come up with some good debates, such as "What sounds does a fish/alligator make?"

Currently we are playing with 2 adults, a 14 year old, a 10 year old, and a 5 year old (who gets some help from the rest of us). I think this would be a total blast to play with adults, if they aren't too afraid of looking ridiculous in front of other people!

(What's this?)

I actually had high hopes for this game, however once we started playing it those hopes completely disappeared.

The rules of the game are very simple, draw a card, do the action on the card, go to next player, repeat until someone messes up.

The problem I have with the game is that it doesn't require much skill or knowledge. The people playing were a 24 year old male, 53 year old female, and a 14 year old female. We started playing and quickly realized that this is more of a party game or suited for those of a younger age (I'd say it suited for 5-12 year olds to be honest with you).

The whole time we were playing the game, "Simon Says" and Charades kept popping into our heads. And frankly this is just a board game version of those two games... 267 pre-chosen actions/events.

On the plus side the game does move quickly, just like "Simon Says" and Charades does.

In the end, I find that this game is better suited for younger people (even the 14 year old said she wouldn't play it again) or in a party setting where plenty of adult beverages are present.

Pros:
Moves quickly
Good for a chuckle or two

Cons:
Plays like "Simon Says" and Charades
Not educational
Not challenging
Very low skill level required (just a good memory)
