Ginger Fox Know Nine Think Outside The Box Fast Paced Word Linking Game - Suitable For 2 Or More Players Aged 12+

The product was amazing. Really well packaged and arrived the next day

We loved this game and play it a lot. It is honestly brilliant to listen to peoples "think outside the box" suggestions and it can be a great laugh. It can, however, cause some awkward and tense moments when you disagree with peoples answers (and in doing so block their points) and is best to play with 3 or more people so that you can have a majority vote and even use a coin toss to decide tie breakers or if you are playing as a duo. We also added more time to finish the answers and 1min wasn't really long enough for everyone to get answers which we know if kind of the point but we find it more fun to listen to what everyone puts down which you can only really do if you allow more time. Great game, tons of fun

Know nine is great fun! My son is 9 years old and he loves it. The association of words can be funny. The answers can be surprising. It cracks us up every time.

This is a review for Ginger Fox Know Nine, which I received as part of the Amazon Vine scheme.This is a nicely designed game, based on contrasting colours, deploys a clearly legible font (essential for such a fast game) and provision is made via a QR code if you need to print more of the game sheets. Another aspect I really appreciate is the plastic box insert, which usually would just be there to hold the product and "fill" the box void, has been shaped to hold the cards and pad during play, so it is a useful part of the game.My biggest criticism/concern is related to the gameplay. You have just one minute to come up with nine answers - just under 7 seconds per answer! Added that these are subjective answers, and that the game encourages you to think up unique answers, we found this becomes frustrating, as often we were unable to come up with a full set of nine answers (even if we doubled the time to two minutes). This was based on adult, literate, native English speakers playing, so I'd worry it would be even more frustrating/less fun for teens or people with English as a second language.The repetition within each round (3 adjectives, 3 "things") became a little boring: for example, thinking of "shop" answers fitting the adjective "loud", "funny" and "sensible", and then having to do the same for another two things becomes quite tedious.Related to the previous point, it felt at times that the adjectives were too similar, or perhaps too mundane. I wondered if the developers struggled to come up with a broad enough variety of words and maybe it would be better to have fewer, but more greatly diverging adjectives to play with.Despite my frustrations with the gameplay, I think this is a very valuable game, because it would be quite simple to modify how you play to make the game more enjoyable or fit your needs: you can reduce the number of answers needed per round (E.g 1 minute for each row of answers); change gameplay to 1 "thing" and 1 adjective per person; or even play a game where answers are immediately called out.

Some of the best games are simple and something that you wish you had come up with yourself. 'Know Nine' is a very clever, but simple idea, that works for a family who likes to play more intelligent games and can get a little cheeky. You must fill a grid of nine boxes in with words that match both the cards on the vertical and horizontal e.g., Fast and Car. That one may be easy, but Fast and Experiment may not be. You only get a short time, so the answers are impulsive and often gibberish. It can feel like the end section of Family Fortunes and like that game you get punished for having the same answer as someone else in the gameAs a wordy family we enjoyed coming up with the answers. It works best with adults and older children, especially if you can get a little cheeky with the answers. Younger children will struggle with the time frame and coming up with answers.Each time you play 'Know Nine' it is a similar experience, so you are likely to break it out at gatherings occasionally. It is simple enough that if you had the inclination you could make it yourself. However, the job has been done for you and the carious cards are well made. The nine-by-nine grids will run out eventually, but there is a link to be able to print out more if you need to.

I liked the concept of this game. Matching words to different categories that you think your opponent won't come up with. I'm a big fan of word games - scattegories, banagrams, articulate, scrabble etc. I liked the concept/idea of this more than the actual reality.The box is designed to act as your game board. You pick blue cards and red cards to create a grid and then compete against each other to fill your grid e.g. ancient - place, character, car/funny - place, character, car etcIf you can justify it to the other players you can score points.You also have tokens for double and triple points for which answers of yours you think will be accepted and will be the most obscure. I think the tokens were superfluous - we did 1 and 2 stars by them which was much less faffy.My problem with this game is that some of the card combinations just didn't go together and made coming up with answers too frustrating for younger players and players who don't love word games. We had a fun round where we chose our own headings instead of using the cards - HP version fun.A lovely concept and decently made, this won't be making my top game list however.

I am always a fan of a game that all the family can get involved in with . We enjoyed playing this together and can be educational for older children (my 5 year had to team up to play)This could also be fun for adults only play as well where you can explore PG language more.Great fun and great price !
