Scattergories

Pros: very easy to learn
Cons: none

A game for the whole family. Loads of fun. Very easy to learn and fun to play. Not many rules to complicate the game. The first time I played this game was at my friends' house and I loved it. I couldn't wait to play it again. I just had to go buy it. I...

Pros: Good family game
Cons: none

This is a great game to play with a group of people. My husband and I both come from large families, and this is one of our favorite games to play when we get together.

You start the game off by rolling the multi-lettered dice. Which ever...

Pros: Easy to play
Cons: None

My husband and I bought Scattergories mainly to play when we had some company over. It is a great game, that you don't have to be a genius to play. Sure, it is thought provoking, but not in a way that brings serious pressure along with it. It is meant...

Pros: Fun for everyone
Cons: Nothing

I have played Scattergories many times, and each time different funny things seem to happen. It is a great game to play in the car, not for the driver though, or at home. It is very simple and little kids can play it, but I have a few suggestions for...

Pros: fun fun fun
Cons: timer is annoying and makes you jump!

I played my first game of Scattergories in my cousins' house together with them when I was in fourth grade. I always loved to go over there and get right into playing Scattergories. It always took priority over anything else, even entertainment systems...

Pros: So Much Fun
Cons: Making sure everyone is on the same list.

I played this game once at a get together and then I had to have it. I can't think of very many party games that beat this one.

The contents of this game include; a dice with different letters, folders that contain category lists,...

Pros: good for all ages
Cons: the timer gets irritating

I first played this game over my friends house when she got it for a Christmas present. I didn't understand at first how she thought it was such a great game, but the more I played the more I got sucked in. Every time I went to her house we would play...

Pros: a great game that allows you to have fun while thinking
Cons: you run out of paper quickly

Our family loves games. If we aren't watching a movie together on a Friday night we are playing games. We received Scatergories for Christmas and have almost gone through all of the paper that the game comes with. oops!

We like games that...

Pros: Fast paced, Challenging, Good for Laughs
Cons: Timer is annoying

This is a great game. And pardon the cliche, but "fun for the whole family". We play it with our kids, 12 & 15, and also with my parents. It is a game that we can all play together.

The game is a word game. Each round has...

Pros: YEARS OF FUN!!!
Cons: MIND BOGGLING (AGGERVATING)

My husband and I were having our best friends over to play some card games. So my husband went to Wal-Mart to but some new cards and he saw "Scattergories". He brought this home for us in case we got bored with cards. Well this ended up...

Pros: challenging, fun, creative
Cons: children might need help

This is another one of those games that is great fun if you have at least 3 or 4 other people to play it with. It's also humorous as you find out just how many people know the real meanings of words and how to SPELL them. When we play with our friends it...

Pros: great for groups, causes lots of laughs, easy to play
Cons: It's possible to repeat cards with the same letter

Know a lot of useless information, like places, foods, and names? Then this game is great for you! It requires some degree of intelligence, but as long as you're creative, the answers will come your way.

Depending on what you roll, the...

Pros: funny, easy to learn, non-competitive
Cons: limited number of categories

Maybe it's just my family...but when we get together for Scattergories, great hilarity inevitably ensues. We have had a few weekend-long marathons where we have gone through all of the given categories (plus several of our own creation) many times over....

Pros: Entertaining in both small and large groups
Cons: Who wants to be dubbed king of the scatterbrained

This toy was a gift from family when my wife and I first got married 8 years ago. I had a blast with it then and though it is a little tattered and torn I still whip it out at all group get togethers. If you are the master of useless and abstract facts...

Pros: Game that takes brains but isn't dull; lots of laughs; fun and interesting; easy to play
Cons: The timer is really loud

My families (mine and my husband's) love this game. I don't even know if I can explain what it is that makes it so fun. It never gets boring; you get a lot of laughs out of it; it stimulates your mind; it's not hard to play (although it sometimes is...
