I just discovered this awesome game on the geek. I picked up a copy at Target and pulled it out the first chance I got.

The first round was a little slow, getting the creative juices flowing while at the same time trying to reference my siblings' generational gap as not to tip off my answer. I didn’t do to well. My sister guessed first, pegged each of our answers and racked up a quick 5 points to our ZERO.

This was in part because for my first answer I went to write and drew a complete and total BLANK. Unlike Balderdash, that has a similar mechanic, there is almost no direction or focus to base your answer on. You can get really random, on point, geographical, historical etc. (I see already that this will be a good game that adapts to who is sitting around the table.)

The next round was “Things...that an amateur shouldn't do." got me going and I wrote "surgery" because of a commercial I saw earlier in the day. Other answers were..."throwing knifes" "delivering drugs" and "flying a plane"

It was my turn to guess first and I quickly pointed my finger at my witty sister and accused her of writing “surgery” (my answer). This didn’t give me the immediate point but secured my survival in the round to guess after some clues were laid out.

This plan worked (at least for the first time) I caused everyone confusion and picked up the last guess and the 2 bonus for not being pegged.

The rest of the game really started to heat up as everyone was on par with their answers not to be pegged and shot off answers for laughs. For a five player game it went really fast and ended with a tie score of 5 to 5 with me and my sister.

Final thoughts…
The game needs some work on its scoring. I think at the very least one correct answer should pass rather than hiking up and I’m guessing a bigger crowd would be a bit more guessing than desired.
