Party & Co. Original - The Fun Packed Multi Challenge Multi Player Board Game, +14yrs

This got accepted into my "type B" group of friends (me included) and was easy enough to play/learn without having to understand a bunch of rules and ask questions or google how to play. We had a lot of fun and it came very naturally. It's very intuitive and no crazy rules or concepts needed to understand to get into the game. It's slightly dated for some things but I think that just comes with changing times. Great fun.

This is a pretty fun game with multiple people to play. I love anything that brings families together and this game does that. Everyone seemed to enjoy all aspects of the game. It is simple to play. It is basically a question and answer game, and includes 5 different aspects of the game. It has drawing, making sounds, answering questions, trying to avoid using certain words. You can play teams, which is always more fun. You can have a maximum of 4 teams of 2 people. The game comes with a whopping 2000 tests. This is not just for the adults, but also the kids and helps teach them good socialization skills. I would recommend this game for the whole family.

This game includes five categories of tests that a team of two or more persons needs to perform and achieve correctly within 30 seconds, in order to continue to advance on the board, and ultimately achieve the final question, to win the game. You throw a die and your token will fall into little pentagons that establish what category of answer you will have to work with, and you draw a card that will propose the cue you'll need to work with within that category.I didn't like this game that much, because I thought that some of the categories of answers were just too difficult. For example, in one of the categories you have to make your teammate guess the name of a real or fictional character by describing the person or character but without using four words that are forbidden. The forbidden words in most cases are so essential to the identification of the person or character, that it becomes exceedingly difficult to succeed in this test without using those words. For example, you have to make your team say the name of a famous American Olympic gymnast, but you can't say gymnast, Olympic, USA... so how exactly will you convey to your teammate that exact same person? Sure, there is a category that is just a True or False answer and those questions are rather easy, but some others are almost impossible to achieve in the 30 seconds that are allowed by the sand hourglass. Another category that is unreasonably difficult is the one about mimic. You need to make your teammate guess a phrase (such as a saying) by just performing mimic, but some of these phrases are rather esoteric and they seem rather impossible to convey by mimic only, especially in just 30 seconds. There is a category for drawing; again, 30 seconds is awfully short to draw something with any recognizable accuracy for your teammate to correctly guess. Certainly one could increase that 30-second time by allowing for two or three cycles of the hourglass for each test but then it's less convenient as someone would have to keep flipping the hourglass; why not just provide an hourglass that lasts longer? I'd say, at least 1 minute should be the minimum if not 90 seconds, so I think that the game maker didn't think of this in the best way; it's just poor planning. Another category is for something that you and your teammate must provide the same answer for. Some of these are so general that it would be a big coincidence to think of the exact same one (for example, songs by a certain artist; these artists have released hundreds and hundreds of songs... how likely is it that you and your teammate will think of the exact same one?Sure, some of the cues are not impossible, but I'd prefer to see all the cues being of a somewhat same order of magnitude of difficulty, because the way it is, the fate of your team is more linked to what kind of cue you draw, rather than to your ability to convey the correct answer to your teammate; therefore it's more luck than skill, and I didn't like that part. Get one of the impossible ones and you are doomed. Get an easy one and you can make it.See how unbalanced it is: the True or False questions, not only they are rather easy, but even if you don't know the answer, you are still 50% likely to get it right. The category that, instead, you have to give the same answer that your teammate gives, say, a song by an artist who has released 100 well-known songs, you have rather a 1% chance of guessing the same one. So if you fall into the True or False pentagon once you roll the die, your odds of advancing are at least 50 times bigger than if you fall on the "guess the same one" pentagon.I just think that for this kind of game, relying on skill is more fun than just relying on sheer luck. So, this one is not for me, which is why I'm just granting it a 2-star rating.

This is a fun game for at least four people. There are various things you need to do to get your teammates to guess the answer, such as act it out, draw, give clues etc. It is a pretty long game though so be prepared for a long evening. Lots of fun for adults though!

We had a group of friends I've and played this game, we all had a blast. Favorite part about the game is that you can take your time and enjoy playing. Many times the group got sidetracked, but we where able to just keep playing. For the price I would recommend this game thank you.
