Description
How good is your BS detector? Find out with Brilliant or BS?, the hilarious trivia party game that will test your knowledge and your ability to tell when your friends are trying to fool you. Each round a different player (The Judge) reads a multiple choice trivia question. The remaining players secretly input their answers using ‘ABC’ response cards. Without revealing which answer they chose, they must explain to the Judge how or why they know the correct answer...even if they're completely clueless! The Judge interrogates the other players to figure out who knows the correct answer (Brilliant) and who's only pretending to know (BS). Players earn points for convincing the Judge of their brilliance while the Judge earns points for correctly predicting who's brilliant vs. who's faking it! The fun comes in being creative and trying to trick your friends while also avoiding being fooled yourself.

It is fun to play. Some things are completely unknown to my family and I but that makes it even more fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are not a game family but played this at our friends house and loved it. if you are having a get together and looking for something to do this is a game you will get lots of use out of. We thought we knew almost everything about our friends and came to found out we didn't know as much as we thought - and that our friends can lie with a straight face.
Great Game!

Fun way to engage everyone. Hilarious to see everyone try to weasel their way to the top of their game. If your into silly and not to serious about your trivia style-this is for you. It’s fast moving with lots of categories.
Fun!

Once we got the hang of it, we all really enjoyed the game! This game is great if you have a poker face or just good at calling out BS.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a fun time playing this on pizza night with our friends. It was an easy game to play and even though it was trivia, it wasn't difficult. All intelligence levels can enjoy it. It's not terribly competitive so it was nice to relax and play without it being an all night endeavor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried playing this game with my teenagers (14 & 17), who quickly lost interest, a lot of the questions went right over their head and irrelevant to modern day knowledge. So that it wasn’t a total lost we ended up playing this more as a trivia game instead of a “lie your way through” type game. I think the age range needs to be adjusted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun family game that isn't inappropriate, despite it's name. My husband and I went through all of the cards before we allowed our children to see any of them and were pleasantly surprised at how clean this game is. It's a fun review of different categories, so we're learning things and having fun at the same time, which makes it great! I can't keep a straight face for anything, while my husband can but he constantly jokes around, and this is great for both of us. The package is small, making it perfect for travel. Great for game night and family bonding time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brilliant or BS game is a lot of fun. We played several times with 4 and 6 players. Every time we had a blast. It was funny trying to see who could hide whether or not they were BSing the others.
Fun times!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just started having friends over for game nights and Brilliant or BS was the perfect way to kick off our evening. Super easy game play and everyone had a blast. Also small enough to toss in your bag and bring to game night if someone else is hosting. Definitely going to grab a few to give out as holiday gifts.
Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a simple yet fun hilarious game! It offered many laughs and was a great way of seeing who was trying to lie. It is even better after a couple of drinks! The questions are unique and not the same thing over and over. I really enjoyed having to try and convince others that my answer was right even when I was wrong. It's definitely a great party game that we will continue to play!
So Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We brought Brilliant or BS on a family reunion vacation. It was great for teens to seniors! We were able to quickly learn how to play and explain to new players. We played with more than the recommended players by writing ABC on paper. So much fun! My only concern is that once you get through the deck it would be hard to play again. I would buy more expansion packs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so, The Brilliant or BS? Trivia Party Game First Edition has some interesting trivia, so ok trivia & some simple trivia. I guess that helps with playing with younger people but, I guess what I find simple some might not. I like the game more as a trivia game then trying to make “BS”. Asking if they got it right and saying yes or “BSing” they got it wrong, do they believe you? It’s ok, there are a lot of cards & a lot of info. Some you do get shocked at what you thought you knew.
Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Brilliant or BS game and my family really loves playing this. I’m not quick witted like my girls are but I’m trying. I didn’t realize how many people I know can lie with such a straight face, I always start to giggle. At first, it was hard to figure out how to keep score, I still don’t get it, but my girls do and that is all that matters.
