Product Description

Editorial Review

Based on A&E's long-running Biography series, this Trivia-style, card-and-board game challenges your knowledge of the famous and the infamous. In each round, a different player is the question master, using 480 cards to offer up such teasers as "I headed both the Republican National Committee and the CIA" and "I was once married to Barbara Stanwyck." (Answers: Robert Taylor and George Bush, though not necessarily in that order.) The first player with 300 points is the winner. The game is intended for three to eight players ages 12 and older. --Richard Farr

My 64 year old husband is a very serious history buff--too serious in that he is not much fun...if fact, I think he was born an adult and never played as a child until this past Christmas when I gifted our family with Who Am I. My husband loved it because he knew almost all of the answers and had fun FINALLY using the knowledge he had acquired over a lifetime of reading and watching A&E's Biography. He is PLAYING at 64. The whole family enjoys the game and we look forward to more editions. Thanks for making all of us smile.

This review is from: Who Am I? - The Biography Game (Board Game)

On the A & E Channel everyday there is a show called Biography and now we even have a Biography channel so it's only natural that a game that follows that idea is now available and leave it to Endless Games to be the creator.

Trying to get 300 points is the objective, where 1 card is 1 round. However after playing several time I found that the information was both great and educational. You have over 450 biographies and over 450 bonus characters to work with so you should be playing for some time.

You could not ask for easier to follow directions and if you are traveling you can play without the game board. Also this game fits well into the family arena as well as a get together with friends and makes a great gift for all ages and all occasions.

This is to the "A" student who disliked the game: Based on the appalling number of misspelled words and grammatical errors in your review, I would advise that you check the credentials of the educational institution that deemed you an "A" student. I can see why you had trouble with this game.
