Describe as many words as you can to your team members in the time allowed. Move around the board and beat the other teams to the finish point to win.

Ease to set up / learn

Very quick set up. Unfold the board, fix the spinner in the middle and you are ready to go. There are some basic rules of what you can and can’t do and the only bit which is a bit more tricky is remembering what the special segments on the board represent.

Fun Factor

Enormous fun. Teams really get into it and the more in the team the better. 

Family Factor

Recommended age is 12 upwards so not really suited for children younger than this. One option we tried was to let the children choose any category on the card and this worked well.

Originality

There are a few games that work on a similar basis, Pictionary and Taboo for example - but who came up with the idea first??

Play it again

The games huge popularity demonstrates it’s great repeat playability. Only restriction is that if you play it a lot you will be doing words you’ve had before, but extra word packs can be bought.

Build quality

Good strong board. Timers can be delicate but this one comes in a robust housing. Top marks.

Educational

You really need to know the word you have to describe / guess so not that educational.

Value for money

Not a cheap game but as you will play it again and again it will pay for itself over time!

Overall

Great playability and particularly good for larger groups - very strong on the fun factor.
