Race around the board and challange each other to remember lists-from the simple to downright goofy. For example: can you remember to: pat your head, whistle "Dixie", stick out your tounge, give the peace sign and touch your nose...in that order? 2 to 8 players. Ages...sorry, but we can't remember how old you need to be to qualify! I read that out of the magazine that I orderd it from. Hope this helps.

This is a board game that even kept my teenagers cracking up! It involves some strategy, but mostly memory skills and the ability to laugh at yourself.

I love this game. I played it with my family, and we had a lot of fun. It is generally easy to play, doesn't take that long (an hour or less), isn't that hard, and is suitable for all ages. I think adults would enjoy it more than kids though.

My main complaint is that to move, you have to memorize a lists of 2-5 things. Each list comes from 2 small booklets. Unfortunately after you finish all the lists in the booklet, you're screwed (sort of). There are enough lists in these booklets, and although from game to game you may forget the specific content of this list, if you play often enough it could become an issue. My guess is that after 5-10 times of playing it, you will have gone through all the lists and will have to start over. This doesn't seriously interfere with gameplay if you don't play it too often though.

My husband and I received this as a gift for Christmas from our teenage son. He had good intentions, and we had a good laugh when we received it, but when we actually played the game with some friends, we expected a little more of a challenge. A very senior person might find it a bit of a challenge, trying to memorize three out of five facts per question, but they might be better off playing Trivial Pursuit or chess.

I have had this game for quite some time. Over the past few years, my husband has been gradually slipping more and more into the disease of dementia. A couple of months ago, we started having Home Health care workers come in. Onc of them is a speech therapist, whose task it was to help him improve his ways to remember things. I brought out my "Senior Moments" game that I had had for some time. She liked it so much, I ordered one for her to use with other patients that she has. The game I have has been quite helpful in bolstering up his ways to remember what he needs to.

The instructions are very vague and make you feel even older cause your too stupid to figure them out! Ther were 3 of us playing who didn't understand them! Where can a person get better instructions?

After Thanksgiving dinner, five of us 60-plus friends played the "Senior Moments" board game. We had a blast for 2 hours! I would recommend this game for everyone. It is guaranteed to hone your memory skills!

Bought this for my parents for Christmas. Since they have everything I thought this would be different. Unfortunately, I think they forgot I bought it for them!!!

How can anyone tell if they'd like to buy this Game if there's no info online about it all?? It doesn't say if it's a board game, or a dice game or what the strategy is etc. Not very many people are going to buy a game that they know nothing about!
