Toys and Games Reviews of What's Yours Like? The Game That Tells It Like It Is.
Customer Review: Fun game...be careful who you play with
Summary: 4 Stars
What basically happens in this game is that one person has to guess a specific word. All the other players know the word, and they take turns giving a clue about how the word relates to them personally.
Example: Suppose the word is "house". There are 6 players, so 5 of the players must say something about their own house without using the word "house".
Person 1: "Mine is really big."
Person 2: "Mine is the same as yours."
Person 3: "Mine has a lot of problems."
Person 4: "I only see mine at night."
Person 5: "Mine is across from a restaurant."
If all the clues are vague (like Person 1), the game can drag on because most players will have a hard time guessing. However, you have to be careful not to be too specific either (like Person 5), or the game will end quickly.
Just a caution: some of the clues can seem suggestive, even if they're not intended to be. It can be fun if you're playing with mature friends and you WANT the clues to sound dirty. On the other hand, you could be playing with family members of different ages, and if someone says "mine is really big" or "mine is really wet", some might think you're talking about a body part when you're really talking about your school or umbrella. Perhaps a 7-year-old may not catch the innuendos, but teens on the other hand might catch on. The words themselves are not suggestive, but the clues can be at times.
That issue aside, it is a good idea for a game. There are plenty of words provided so you can play again and again without reusing words too often, and of course you can always make your own words for people to guess too. And the clues I've gotten or given have certainly made me think of the words with a different perspective.
Customer Review: My favorite game!
Summary: 5 Stars
OMG i love this game so much! we have a big game night every 2 weeks & our favs were taboo, balderdash, catch phrase & last word but now this is our ultimate favorite. But we added a big rule that i think is a must for this game! In this game every one but the guesser (whoevers turn it is) gets to see the topic, for exacmple lets use underwear. one of the players goes first & says what theres is like so lets say something like mine have strings on the side then the guesser gets to take a guess what he thinks it is. if he doesnt get it the next person says what theres is like.How ever many guesses it takes you before you guess the word is how many points you get & the player with the least amount of points Wins (so you dont want points in this game) it comes with a dry erase board to write what everyone says theres is like so you can go back & think. In the rules there is no certain limit to how many hints you get which can make the game last forever & if you get to 100 hints how the heck are you ever supposed to come back to win!! we changed this & once you get 10 hints if you still cant guess after the 10, then you end up getting the 10 point & its on to the next player. This makes the game a lot more fun because really if you arnt gona get it after 10 then your not gona guess it anyway & it also gives everyone a chance to come back & win in the game making it a lot more fun!! With this simple change this is my very favorite game!! People end up guesing the funniest things.Customer Review: A Great Hilarious Family Game!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for something new and came across this great game. The name is a bit odd but the game itself is so much fun. The answers my family comes up with are a riot. Like describing your toilet! We all try to come up with creative and sometimes vague answers to throw the person guessing off. It's so much fun!
The pros and cons are:
Pros-
It gets you thinking creatively.
Helps you get to know the other players better.
Fun for any age
Cons-
The point system is somewhat confusing
The guessing system could be perfected
Doesn't come with a white board eraser
These things could be changed easily. They don't really affect the game play.
I'd recommend this game to anyone.
Customer Review: What's Your's Like
Summary: 5 Stars
Fun family game, excellent party game. Probably too difficult for smaller kids, better for teens and up. One of the few games that's more fun with a larger group. Would be hilarious with adults as you can get pretty creative with your "double meaning" clues (note: game is NOT at all risque as title may suggest - very clean - very fun). One person tries to guess an item (on one of the cards) as the group gives him clues. Clues that are the most creative can throw the guesser off track and create a lot of laughter. Very simple, very few rules. Just open and play. We have a lot of games and this is a winner.Customer Review: Fun, but not for people who like to "win".
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have a group that enjoys sitting around laughing this can be a great game.
If you have a group that plays games to "win" this game gets little boring. The problem is, in order to win some people give answers that are way too vague- i.e.(describing your yard for example) "What's yours like?" "Mine's fine." or "Mine's nice." After about five minutes of that nobody's having fun.
If the answer's are trying to be funny ("Mine's smaller that my neighbor's", "the dog poop's on mine" etc) the game is a lot of fun.
