Product Description

Editorial Review

Don't stand out from the crowd. That's the object of this party game for any size group upwards of four. The more you think like everyone else, the better you score, even if it's the wrong answer. Players draw from packs of question cards, read the questions, and then the group answers them on paper. General interest questions--from science to film, geography to food--are broad enough for kids to play along, but diverse enough for adults. Some of the questions relate directly to the group, such as "Who here is most likely to compete in a marathon?" You have to come up with all your answers (sometimes up to five) before the timer runs out. Think like a lemming and you're sure to win. --Lynne Sampson

Played this when visiting my son and his wife. Cards ask questions anyone can answer. No embarrassment like in Trivia Pursuit when you just don't know the answer. Here you try to match other player's anwers - some amaze you and most are quite funny. Plan to buy this game myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best games that inspires creativity, February 21, 2000

WWYT! and Balderdash are two of the best inspiring and creative party games I've ever played. Everyone is asked a question ("Name five things you associate with circuses"), writes down their answers, and score based on matches. The fun comes with questions that no one thinks they can answer (such as four male computer geeks being asked "Name five things you associate with beauty parlors"), questions you're pressured to get right (what would **you** put as the fifth answer for "Name five directions"?), and opinion questions ("Ginger or Mary Anne?" and "Who's your favorite Beatle?"). Simple rules, high entertainment, and excellent replay value make this a game I highly recommend.

We are having more outloud fun around the table with this game! Perfect for adults and teens to play together. And the more the merrier! The best part is ... it has multilayered cards (much like Trivial Pursuit) so you won't burn up all the question choices in just a few rounds of play.
