In breathless anticipation, we KNOW my...

Cons: none

Growing up, I could convince my older sister only seldomly to play with me. I seemed to have the best luck when we were on car trips (could it be because she couldn't escape her whiny sister?). One game we both enjoyed playing was named "Stadt...

Pros: Great for groups, exciting
Cons: Stressful!

Introduction

Scattergories is not a quiet game to relax with at the end of the day. There is probably more stress in this game than any other board game I regularly play. Still, I can't get enough of it, and it is always a favorite --...

Pros: Gets the old brain matter thinking
Cons: Short term memory loss!

I purchased this game many years ago. My family, friends and I have had tons of fun playing it. It really makes you think fast. You are given a letter and a list of categories. You have to think of a word that fits into the category that begins with...

Pros: Be it food or folly, this game is fun for family and friends.
Cons: --

I love words. Unfortunate, though, how my grasp of the English language is, well, tiny. I don't know too many large complicated words - just everyday stuff. But just as I enjoy eating a hard candy every once in a while, I also enjoy learning and using...

I love Scattergories! It's a very original game, with seemingly endless combinations. It is challenging, but not overly so and it lends itself well to a lot of different situations, from a lazy rainy day to a big ole party. Two thumbs up for versatility!...

Pros: lots of laughs and fun, can replay many times since a different letter will make it a different game

Pros: Very challenging--I love when my brain is challenged
Cons: The timer is to darn loud. Breaks my concentration

Cons: Not really for kids - it's a game of intellect!

My fiance has had this game for several years, and she still hasn't gotten tired of it. I only played the game once, but since I am not a native English speaker, it was too difficult for me. So, she is going to share her opinion with you.

Pros: Many different lists and chances to get points
Cons: short time to scan your brain for answers

Scattergories is a game to use your imagination and search your mind for hidden information. For me, as soon as the timer is started my mind tends to go blank. The information that previously was stored has been temporarily misplaced!
