Q: Does the newer Scattergories have more kid friendly categories than the original game from the 90’s? Just wonder if they’ve changed the categories and if it is easier for a 10 year old now to play

I loved this game when I played it years ago. Had loads of fun. It’s Basically like a family feud. Everyone is trying to outsmart eachother by knowing how eachother think. Came in brand new, no damage and still in the original packaging which is always beautiful to see when ordering items online and having them delivered. I highly recommend this item.

This is a very fun game for the whole family. It can be challenging and it really makes you think. You roll to figure out what letter you are going to use to answer the questions and you're timed. We've been playing this game for many years.
