Toys and Games Reviews of Scattergories
Customer Review: scattergories is great; the "updated" game design is not
Summary: 2 Stars
If you love Scattergories, you're sure to be disappointed by all the corners cut to bring you the latest version of this game.
Rather than adding further comments about how fun, enjoyable, and entertaining the game concept itself is, I feel the need to point out some of the "features" of the new game packaging and setup that I was so upset about with my recent purchase. For some reason, even though the game's price is at least as high as it has always been (if not higher!) the quality of the game is much lower now. The "folders" where you slide in your list and answer sheets are of quite poor quality--they are now made of a very thin cardboard into which you slide a plastic strip and then fold the corrugated spine into place. I can't imagine that this game will last more than about a year, if that, before it is really beat up and potentially torn up. The lists are tiny, harder to read, and far more flimsy than in previous editions. Even if you're a fan of the new layout (clipping the list and answer sheet into place rather than using a pad and slipping the list behind it), the new folders are less user friendly than the original versions, especially for those with less dexterity, such as kids and older adults. In addition, I agree with a previous reviewer about the ridiculousness of the current battery setup in the buzzer; his review outlines the details of that issue quite nicely.
I could go on, but rather than continuing this rant, I will simply add a final note to all fellow Scattergories fans: BEWARE. If you, like me, have not "updated" your game in years, I highly recommend keeping what you've got and not wasting thirty bucks. What a letdown...
