I got this so my large family and I could have some fun during the holidays, and it was a great investment. Normally my short-attention-span engineer of a father doesn't join in when we're playing games, but I got this because I knew it would be right up his alley, and I was right! He loved having fun with this game, and he would actually take all the daring blocks instead of the easy ones. Fun times! see less

I love this game! So simple yet so fun! It's a fun spontaneous game... only thing is, I don't carry around the dice with me. I found an iPhone/iPod Touch game that is based on this called Pass the Buck. It's basically the same game, just without the dice. Now, I can play where ever I am... as long as I have my iPhone. see less

This is a great game for the whole family! You can bring with you anywhere and still have a great time. In the age of video games and the internet this is great to take the family back to wholesome and family games. I wouldn't trade this for anything. see less

My mother-in-law gave these out as stocking stuffers a few years ago and we carry it around with us everywhere cuz it's so portable and easy to learn. We've played it with 4 people and 25 people and we have the most fun with it when we play with $1 bills instead of the chips! We bought about 5 last year to give to friends and started an epidemic of LCR gaming! One of our friends will whip it out at a restaurant or bar and it's funny to watch all the wait staff watching us and wanting to get in on the game! see less

This is a fun game. It requires you to be quick. I played this game on New Year's Eve with my friends and it was sometimes hard to read the clues without laughing it was such a good time. see less

I took this game with us to the snow. WE had 6 tired skiers by the end of the day. I pulled out the game cause there was no tv. It was the best game when everyone was tired and could just yell out answers. Would be great for youth group, teams or anyone. see less

The 5 members of my clan, ranging in age from early 20 to mid 50s, recently played this game again after what seems like a while, and the verdict remains unanimous, as it did when we first played Wits End many moons back. This is the best trivia game on the market by some distance. It is smart, challenging, and filled with a diverse set of questions and formats. Teasers, Wild Card, Odd 1 Out, Sequence, just take your pick. I choose the Teasers when I can because I am addicted to those riddles. The board is large and interesting. Even when you do not know the answers, you feel like you are learning something useful. It is for those who like to discover fascinating facts, and those who like to test how much is actually stored in their noggins. A one of a kind game, for sure. see less

I just bought a second for a wedding gift. It is so much fun. We play it for board game night with our 12 & 14 year olds, but I would say fun for 8 and up. Great whole family or party game. see less

This is my family's favorite game that we own. My children love that this game places them in the center of attention. They love to hear what we think they're capable of and what they're like. They also love that they're just as knowledgeable about the subjects--family members-- as the rest of us. They love being in the know and on even ground with the adults. This game puts smiles on everybody's face. see less

We loved this game so much we have all the colors, red, blue, yellow, We even got some for our friends families. For a couple of dice and chips this game is to much FUN!!! see less

There are only so many times you can play the same games over and over, so despite my love of the classics - [...] - I am always looking out for something new and fun. This game fits the bill on both counts. Be prepared and be alert because this is a very fast game. The questions come flying and the answers involve split second outbursts. You are given a clue word and then have to find what other word it links to. An easy example. If the host reads out HIGHWAY from the card, you have 10 seconds with a timer to yell out the answer. And hope that no one beats you to it. What if you are stuck? Then comes the part I like best. The host makes up a line to help you out. Try something like... A hundred bucks to get that fixed is what I call HIGHWAY... You guessed it now, it is ROBBERY. Tons of other clue combinations. That is the gist of it. Clever and fun. I really love this one. see less

This game is the best- we play by using 3 dollar bills and ditch the chips! Whoever wins at the end, keeps the jackpot. It's FANTASTIC to bring out after a more complicated game night board game or cards- especially when a few of the guests have had a cocktail or two. Easy to follow and when the whippersnappers are around, they can play too. A total bargain! see less

This game is a real picker upper. You can bring it with you everywhere and start up this fantastic game. And green is my favorite color but that doesn't even really matter, but this is just so great!!! Everyone that plays board, card, dice games should include this in your box of toys. Its fun for everyone and gets pretty intense!! see less

This is a great bingo set. Has everything you need to play. Great for gatherings at your house or parties. see less

The game looks very nice with the wooden balls and rolling cage. However, the balls fall out of the cage if not turned carefully. This issue can be dealt with but then all the cards do not work. The number covers get stuck and if pushed too hard can fall out. It was just very frustrating for the group of kids playing with it and they quickly lost interest. see less

The kids ages 11 9 7 play this a lot. The 7 yr old will take it and play it by herself at time. Great for doing simple addition in their heads. see less

We have had a "Shut the Box" game for years. We just gave one to our dear friend for his birthday and he LOVES it! It's great for kids to exercise their brains because it uses addition. It becomes addictive. The object is to "Shut the Box", so you don't want to give up until you can! We will definitely give it again as a gift. see less

I bought one of these games about a year ago. Mine is a wooden box with twelve numbers. The game is very simple. It is easy for all ages to play. My friends, family, and I all enjoy Shut the Box. see less

We play this game every Christmas and Thanksgiving with my family of 12. Everyone brings $ in "ones" so we can play four games (with $ each). That money adds up and it gets so intense towards the end because you could end up with all the money...or nothing at all!! So much fun...and a great way to earn a bit more cash during the holidays! Perfect for big gatherings. I LOVE this game! see less

Yeah this is great its unbelievable how much fun you can have with a few dice and creativity. I've never done the money thing but that might change reading the other review. I think it made the game even more fun now. It was already loads of fun before. see less

Our family of four, with 2 pre-teens, love this game because everyone is on the same level. We play 2 against 2. One team looks at a card for a set amount of time - memorizing everything they can. Then the second team reads questions about the picture they just looked at. e.g. How many people are wearing hats? What color are the shoes on the woman? Were there any books in the picture? So much fun. see less

This is another one of those favorites we like to bring out during family time together on the weekends. No need to revisit the rules, everyone knows how to play. Look at the cards, answer the questions, and hopefully keep going and going. A great game. Always popular. see less

Stare for the sheer fun of it. I am talking about those large cards with those interesting images. That is the big idea here, as you probably know already. Stare, answer the questions and hopefully keep on moving ahead along the track. Sometimes you just want to stare a little bit longer even though the sand timer runs out, and though everyone around you is hollering that Time Is Up. I have been playing this game for a very long time now, and I think I can put my finger on the main reason for its success and staying power. It is intuitively easy to grasp, yet challenging enough so that you don't get bored. I may have read that somewhere else, but it applies perfectly. It reveals a great deal about what you pay attention to, and what type of details your brain finds worthy of noting. I keep driving guests crazy because I like to pull Stare out when there is a lull around my place. see less

I saw this game listed as ... see more

I saw this game listed as winning a "Major Fun Award. So I thought, what the heck....I could go for having some major fun with my friends and family. The great thing is that the major fun we had was smart, thinking fun...which made the evening interesting for everyone. Basically, there are 540 game cards covering four card categories. All players are involved in every round of play. The 'card reader' rotates and is the one that evaluates how hard the answers will be to match by assigning scoring chips to each answer. The player in the 'hot seat' has to match as many answers provided on the game card as possible within 30 seconds. So, when the timer is turned, the player in the 'hot seat' starts blurting out answers. The more answers matched, the more scoring chips the player wins and the further he/she advances on the game board. If the player in the 'hot seat' does not win all the scoring chips, each of the 'bystander' players take one turn to try to win the chips. So 'bystanders' must be careful to remember what the player in the 'hot seat forgot to guess. If successful, they win chips too. The great thing about this game is that everybody is involved in every round, but in a different way during each round. Here are some examples of the types of questions. You need to come up with at least FOUR good answers each round to try and win all of the scoring chips. You draw one card, from one category each round. Category 1: ADD ONS.Come up with words that begin with CROSS____. Category 2: WHAT THE BLANK.Think of words to fill in ______LIFE Category 3: LETTER PERFECT. Name cities that begin with 'T'? Category 4: RHYME TIME. Think of words that rhyme with LOSE. We love this game. It is a terrific game to add to the collection and it is timeless. Not only is everybody involved...but it is down right fun. see less

BONKERS contains 540 game ... see more

BONKERS contains 540 game cards in four card categories. Players have 30 seconds to come up with as many answers as possible to match four Bullseye Answers provided on the game card. Seems simple, but there's a catch. There is always more than one answer to a question. For example, a question might ask you to find countries that begin with an H? Players would try to come up with as many answers as possible: HOLLAND; HUNGARY; HONDURAS; HAITI. The player's goal is to match the answers given on the game card and win scoring chips. Any answers not matched are left for opposing players to steal and win scoring chips. The questions are based around four different categories: AD ONS, WHAT THE BLANK; RHYME TIME, and LETTER PERFECT. For instance, a Rhyme Time question might ask players to come up with words that rhyme with SLIME. Yes, you can go on forever rhyming, but the trick is to try your luck at matching the answers on the game card and win scoring chips. The AD ONS questions are for those word gurus, asking questions like - Come up with words that start with HOUSE. All of us immediately say HOUSEWIFE, but after that it becomes a little tricky....HOUSEFLY, HOUSEBROKEN, etc. In the "What the Blank" category, you are asked to think of words to fill in the blank space. For instance, the question might be: Think of words to fill in the blank GRAND blank? Answers would include: GRAND OPENING; GRAND FINALE; GRAND PRIZE; GRAND SLAM. Remember, you have to match the answers given on the game card to win points, so you really need to go Bonkers finding answers to win as many scoring chips as possible. This is a fast pace game with question types that almost everybody and anybody can answer. A truly great party game! see less

We play Loaded Questions all the time but saw this one and thought it could be a lot of fun! We were right! We had a board game night and this was the HIT of the night! Not really educational but a blast and people will belly laugh at the answers! Guaranteed!! The questions are NOT X-rated or anything near it - the answers your players write down to those questions are what makes this so much fun! see less

My fiance [...] wanted to take a special trip to a store over 2 hours away just to buy it; well, I was able to deter him from that and ordered it online instead as a Christmas gift for him. During the week before Christmas, he was bound and determined that we were going to go to that store to get this game... finally I just had to tell him "NO, you just have to wait until Santa Claus comes, and if he doesn't bring it, THEN we'll take a trip!" Well, needless to say he wasn't much surprised when he opened his gift. We were able to play it that very night with some family members, and we all laughed so much during the game and had such a great time with it that we even took it to his family get-together the following weekend; it was a hit there, too!!! I've already recommended this game to several people. see less

Wits and Wagers is a game I first became familiar with when I saw it at a gaming convention in it's premiere. After playing the demo at the North Star Games booth, I knew I had to own it. I bought it right then and there. I took it home to my board-game loving family and friends and everyone had a great time playing! This game has everything you could want in a board game - a little bit of trivia for the inquisitive type and a little bit of luck/chance for the wagering type. Even my six year old brother played and had a blast. I definitely recommend this game to all! see less

This game is fabulous! It goes fast and doesnt require too much concentration so you can visit while you play. We love it because the trivia buffs and non-trivia buffs can all play and the "betting" on the answers makes the playing field even! Its a gotta-have if you like fun, group games! see less

Say Anything is my favori ... see more

Say Anything is my favorite game of all time! It used to be Apples to Apples until I received Say Anything as a Christmas present last year. We've probably played the game 40+ times since then.The game is very simple to teach and learn: 1) When it is your turn, ask a question from the card you draw.2) Everyone else writes down an answer3) Secretly choose your favorite response4) Everyone else bets on which answer you chose.The key to this game is in the questions. Some of them are about the best movies, books, or music (or the hottest movie stars) while others are more personal (like "What's the most annoying thing about being a woman"). But some of the funniest responses come from questions that are designed just to make you laugh (like "What would be the coolest thing to teach a monkey"). These questions often lead to the most hilarious moments of the week. The score don't really matter, it's the fun of the game that is most important. North Star Games are bringing new life to the party game scene. First they had Cluzzle, then the award winning Wits & Wagers, and now their newest award-winning game Say Anything.If you like games like Apples to Apples or Attribute, then you will thoroughly enjoy Say Anything! see less

My family just bought this game, and we played all day. I only gave it a 3 starts for value, because it was [$], which seems a little pricey, but it was worth the entertainment. GREAT family fun with the older kids. My kids are getting older-14 and 12-- and hanging out with the parents isn't exactly on the top of their list, but they were begging to play more. If you are looking for a fun game that is a little twisted, and you have a good --or wrong-- sense of humor, than I would definitely buy this game! see less

The above image is for Candy Land Kingdom of Sweet Adventures -- this is not the original Candy Land game! The board is visually overwhelming, very crowded. The colors are muted. The original game involves counting. This version uses color-matching. I was hoping for more of a challenge for my daughter, who knows her colors but is learning how to count. see less
