(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } THIS IS A FAB GAME, INSIDE THE BOX YOU GET A LARGE STACK OF DOUBLE SIDED CARDS, A CARD HOLDER, A BUZZER, A SMALL PAD OF SCORE SHEETS & PENCIL.THE AIM OF THE GAME IS TO DESCRIBE THE WORD ON YOUR CARD TO YOUR TEAM MATES WITHOUT USING ANY OF THE 4 FOUR WORDS LISTED, YOU START THE BUZZER/TIMER WHICH GIVES YOU 60 SECONDS TO GUESS AS MANY WORDS AS YOU CAN.I WOULD SAY THE RULES ARE NOT VERY SPECIFIC AS TO WHETHER YOU CAN USE SENTENCES BUT I GUESS ITS ADAPTABLE, WE PLAYED WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD AND 4 YEAR OLD AND THEY LOVED IT.ITS A GREAT WAY TO GET CHILDREN TO USE OTHER WORDS AND EXTEND THEIR VOCABULARY, I’VE BEEN RECOMMENDING THIS TO EVERYONE :D

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good game for the family.

I remember a game called "taboo" where you had to convey a word to your "team" without using a number of forbidden works - really excellent. This is similar except more suitable for using with kids. There is a simple carry case for the cards which varies how many forbidden words there are - for instance my husband and I have 4 forbidden works (making it harder for us) - my 10yr has 3 forbidden words (so a bit easier) and our 8yr has only 2 forbidden words so it evens out well. An excellent game which is fun and makes you think.

We love the game - though the same words seem to come around remarkably quickly - but lots of fun was had with this game over Christmas. Unfortunately the buzzer was a bit rubbish - one of the batteries simply seems to pop out of the holder everytime we use it, so we ignore it and use the timer on my phone instead. It's been great to encourage my daughter to think of new words to describe things and seems to be helping to expand her everyday vocabulary. Lots of fun, and educational too!

Bought this for an 8 year old nephew as my sons enjoyed playing it so much.Good fun, can be modified for younger children (i.e. fewer restricted words) , can play individually or in teams. We take it on holiday and play it when waiting as it is small/ convenient to keep with you all the time.We all enjoy playing it and 8 & 6 year old (when we first received it) enjoyed being able to play the game by themselves and being on an equal footing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun at first but very easy (For 5-12 yrs)

I bought this as a fun family game to play. It looked interesting and fun. You pick up a card and within a time limit with an interesting buzzer to end you must get your team to say the word without saying particular words. Unfortunately there were a few flaws. It was very easy and did not prove much of a challenge. It is definitely not for older children or adults. I believe it would be fun and educational up to around age 8 but that would probably be the limit. As it is soo easy we got through all the cards quickly and ended up on repeats making it even easier. The overall concept of the game is good but they should either change the suggested age or include harder cards.The box - Looks fun and interesting. A nice size, making it fit well into our games cupboard. It displayed the age six plus which is clearly wrong. I would give the age range about 5-12 with little educational value for age 8+. However it wasn't bought for education but for fun so I think it would still apply up to age 12.The gameplay - Very fun at first but very easy. We soon finished the pack of cards and couldn't really continue as we remembered the repeats. It meant the game was unplayable for a while as we would remember answers. The concept of the game is excellent but if you intent to play with adults or teenagers I would not recommend. An adult version would be a good idea.

Bought for Christmas games with grandchildren ages 5,7,7,10. Essentially a simplified version of the equivalent adult one. One person tries to describe the word for others to guess.All had fun and It worked well (with some assistance for the 5 year old of course ! ) Nice feature is the cards have graded from easier to more difficult words for them to try, appearing in the plastic window cut outs of the card stack

This is a fun game I bought this for a 10 year old and a 7 year old..not so easy I would say for the 7 year old. But we did have a fun time playing with it at Christmas. The yellow cards are good for the 7 year old.

Hidden keywords make you loose!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } The game is more difficult than I thought. You need a fair knowledge of words to compete. (A2+)Keywords are hidden, and you must explain the word without using the -for you- unknown keywords.It is a great game for in the classroom.Positive are the three build in levels.

Gioco molto utile per far palrlare i bimbi in inglese.

C.G. · 16 February 2021

sono un insegnante di inglese e uso questo giorno con i miei studenti. Non tutti gli studenti lo amano perchè comuqnue non è un gioco facile a cui giocare. Ma è molto utile per iniziare ad avere un minino di padronanza alla lingua

Perfect

bon jeu pour l'anglais

v. · 22 October 2022

tres bon jeux pour pratiquer son anglais ( differents niveaux de carte), mais il faut retirer les piles du buzzer pour eviter qu'il marche alors qu'il est dans la boite.Je conseille ce jeu.
