Features The classic fast-thinking categories game Match categories using words that start with the same letter Now with more categories for extended play Includes 6 folders, 48 category cards, 1 answer pad, 6 pencils, 10-sided die, 6 plastic clip strips, timer, die-rolling board, and instructions For 2 to 6 players Editorial Reviews Scattergories is a fast-paced word game that's a real crowd pleaser. Each player takes a category list with 12 categories--such as vegetable, state, president, things you throw away--and must write down the name of one item that fits into each category. Sounds easy enough, but each item has to begin with a specific letter that is determined when the 20-sided die is rolled. For instance, you roll the letter "R." Your answer list for the above categories might look something like this: rutabaga, Rhode Island, Roosevelt, rubbish, etc. You have to think fast, because a round lasts only 3 minutes! Players score points for each unique answer. --Alison Golder Product Description Right off the top of your head name a restaurant, fruit, toy, Halloween costume, and weapon--and make sure your answers all begin with the same initial letter. There's 144 different categories to challenge your mind. For 2 to 6 players. Contents: 6 folders, 36 category cards, 2 answer pads, 6 pencils, 20-sided die, 6 plastic clip strips, timer and die-rolling/rules board. Color of parts may vary. Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism Durability: Fun: Educational: Each player is given a card with a list of twelve categories on it. The 20 sided die is rolled, and the game is on. Now you must complete your list of categories with whatever letter came up with the roll of the die. And, just to make it more challenging, if you come up with the same answer as another player, you both must cross the answer off your list. It may seem easy now, but believe me, it's hard when the time comes. You have 3 minutes to fill in 12 categories, so it's not the time. I find my mind often draws a blank when first presented with the lists, but if I go through it filling in the easy answers first, I can often fill in some of the harder ones later. Officially, the game is for 2 to 6 players, so the title of my review should have been great small group game. But small messes up my alliteration. Seriously, I did play this once in a large group, and we just played with several teams instead of the traditional individual players. This is a fun way to increase vocabulary under pressure. I've enjoyed it every time I've played it, and I'm sure you will as well.
