Toys and Games Reviews of Man Bites Dog
Customer Review: Educational and Fun! Easy to Take on Trips.
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband, son and I have a great time playing this game. My son begs to play it! You are provided with a large deck of card containing funny nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs - and each card has a point value written on it (like Scrabble, the more difficult a word is to use, the greater the point value). The first player to score 500 points wins. Best of all, there are no silly game pieces or cheap game boards to keep up with - in fact, we just keep a pair of rubberbands around out cards to make sure we don't lose them.
Man Bites Dog is an extremely small (about the size of 2 1/2 decks of playing cards) and easy game with which to travel. We slip the cards into our luggage when we leave on vacation. All you need is a scrap of paper on which to keep score and a pen/pencil, plus the cards, and viola! Instant fun.
Beware, some of the words might be considered a little risque by some parents; but then, those are the words that make the best headlines! The headlines are intended to replicate those in a real life tabloid, only even more humorous. Please note, you may have to help younger players prepare headlines appropriate for a newspaper, since kids may be used to writing in complete sentences. You may arrange your headlines any way you see fit, so if you're in a "family setting" you have the opinion of toning down your headlines... or if you're with your drinking buddies, kick it up a notch. This game makes a nice addition to a family's games, and is easy to take on trips.
Description of Man Bites Dog
It's the Hilarious Headline Card Game! This game is a little different: you're dealt a hand of cards with words on them, each with a point value.

It's a great way to have fun with language for kids and adults alike. Compact enough to go on the road, this game is Extra! Extra! fun. Comes with 106 Headline Cards, three Exclusive Cards and an Instruction Card. For 2 or more players.Card Games Toys
