Toys and Games Reviews of The Game of SCATTERGORIES
Customer Review: You'll fall out of your chair laughing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We play this almost everytime that we have guests! When we play with kids, we use one word responses to each category... but when we play with adults, we use the multiple word responses for each category. This game can be adapted this way so everyone gets an enjoyable time playing. My girls are 4 and 5, so we don't write them down... but instead read the category, roll the letter dice... and take turns thinking up a response (starting with the youngest). They love it!When we play with adults, we get crazy... coming up with some totally off-beat responses, so we don't match the other players answers (you get no points if your answer matches another players - so no cheating in this game!) We always end up laughing so hard we fall out of our chair, or can't even read our own answers to the group!!
This game should be on the game shelf in every house!!!
Customer Review: Fun with Family and Friends
Summary: 5 Stars
I first played Scattergories with my boss and co-workers. My boss' family always liked to play games after a quick Saturday Night dinner and this game was the favorite by far. Not as difficult and drawn out as Trivial Pursuit or as quick as Balderdash, it is fun to come up with as many words or items based on the letters you have. One of my favorites for the letter "J" was always Juicy-Juice. Interestingly some will get upset at you if you are too good so be humble when you play with apparent novices to this game.The best way to play is couples or teams of two if you have more than 6 people. It can be fun to play in a team environment because you will come up with more ideas.
This is a fun, fast paced and exciting game that will have you laugh and even say, "hmmmmm, I never thought of that.."
Get Scattergories for the whole family.
Customer Review: Never the same game twice (well, seldom, if ever)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great game... there are 12 categories on a sheet, and you roll a many sided die to see which letter you will use during a round. Here's the trick, you have three minutes to come up with a word that starts with the letter from the die that is something that other players will accept as fitting into each of the 12 categories. Then, you score points by having words that no one else has. If you like word games you'll like this one. If you like games that can last as long as one 3-minute round, or as long as you want, then you'll also like this game.
I found that once you run out of categories supplied with the game you can make up your own categories and continue the fun.
A great party game, or for the family to share some evening or lazy afternoon.
A great buy!

Customer Review: something to tickle the brain!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic fun for all ages, our daughter brought our attention to it a few years ago but have not seen it in our shops in the UK for quite some time due to its popularity and being out of stock, hence our having to order from the USA. It cost a lot more because of shipping, but it was well worth it, we would never usually give up a Saturday evening to play games, but this took over and we were playing well into the early hours!
You can be as creative with your answers as your opposing players will allow, the more adventurous you are the better chance of winning a point (players with the same answer will cancel each other out). Although some questions suit those with knowlege of for example politics or geopgraphy, its amazing just how much you do actually know when youre put on the spot!
Customer Review: A game that never grows old
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great game for the family because it can be played by a wide varity of ages. It is never the same twice, it is always different. It is fun and educational for the young players and keeps the older players mentally sharp. Working against the clock can be a hard thing but can also help you to learn to manage your stress level and help you to work under pressure. If I could find a fault with this game it would be that after playing it for ten years or so it would be nice to be able to purchase additional lists to work with. Would I buy it again? You bet. Would I give it as a gift? Been there,done that. Do I think it is a good gift for the younger set? By all means, if you want to give a gift that will help the child learn and yet have fun.
