Party Charades Game – Contains 550 charades – Great Family Game for 2 or More Players Ages 10 and up by Outset Media

SOO FUN!

At it's core, it's Charades. But this game is an improvement over writing your own "words" on scraps of paper and then pulling them out of a hat. Each card has 5 words (or names, or phrases, etc.). And each of those "words" have their own point value assigned. During each turn, the "actor" tries to get the others (the "guessers") to guess as many of the 5 words as possible within the time allotted (more on that in a moment). But picking the order of the words can get really interesting since you have to consider both the different point vales and the perceived difficulty of the words. That is what makes this game more interesting than the old DYI version that we used to play when we were kids. The time allotted for you to act out all 5 words is 30 seconds, which goes by in about the wink of an eye. (The game comes with the quintessential 30 second game sand timer.) We decided that 30 seconds just wasn't long enough for us, so we used a timer on our phone instead. And we doubled the time to 60 seconds. Out of 20 cards (10 per side for a standard game), we only had one time where a team was able to get all 5 words. Most of the time we only manage to guess one or two words. But of course, your mileage will vary and you might want to adjust your time accordingly. Maybe we'll improve over time and eventually find 30 seconds reasonable? (Then again, maybe not.) If you like to play games with others, you should certainly add this to your game collection. I like games like this were everyone gets involved, each person gets a chance "on stage" (or in the hot seat, depending on your perspective), and things move along at a brisk pace. IMHO, it's these attributes that make it a great party game.

I bought this game to play at Thanksgiving. We had a group of 18 divided into two teams. FUN is an understatement! Everyone had a blast!

A lot of the words were hard to act out.

My family had an absolute blast with this on our family vacation!
