Also, I found a way to work around that annoying loud ticking timer. I've played Scattergories since it first came out in the 80s. I'm glad they finally put new categories in the new edition. You can use a three minute egg timer or the Boggle game timer. Same amount of time.
The game is a great game, which is why I wanted it to begin with. The only thing is that the timer is really loud.I don't know if that has anything to do the condition it is in, or if that's just the way that it was meant to be. Other than that, everything's perfect =)
I played this with my children and we had a lot of fun. I recommand it for the whole family.
The game is a blast. Great game, great fun. No more annoying paper scoring.One thing is, you better decide on a system for veto-ing answers.
This works better than teams in my opinion. I am a big fan of the "creative" answer but some people just are not. To play with larger crowds I photo copy the answer sheets and lists, seperate them into bundles, and the extra people get to play along.
I use a simple hand raise vote. Also per round I have people circle each "correct" answer then tally up winner for round and give winner a bingo chip. Person with most chips after the 12 lists winds the gaame.
If there is a question of an answer being valid just have all those in favor raise there hands. Needs expansion packs.
Scattergories is a word game that you can play with friends and family of any age from sub-teens to octogenarians. The play moves along smartly and scoring your word lists creates a lot of spirited give-and-take among the players. The loud tick-tick-tick of the timer is the only negative we've found--the ticking adds a layer of anxiety that subtracts a bit from the fun. An egg timer might be a better choice.
