Guess Who? 

Newest Review: ... elimination process to whittle down 'suspects' and work out which character the other player has. It is a game for two people, but I guess... more

Advantages: Great game

Disadvantages: Can get boring for some

The Game Guess Who? by MB games Is one of my favourite games ever and has been around for what Iv been told Is 20 years, So If this is true I was about one If not that When the game was first released.

The game comes with 2 differently coloured player boards with 24 frames on, Each frame with a different face behind, I cant remember the colours from when I was younger, But the more updated box I now have has red and blue, Maybe they've always been this colour? Whether I am correct or not Is another thing so please feel free to comment.

There are scoring markers on the bottom left hand corner of both playing boards to keep track of of your wins.

Guess Who? Is a 2 player game for ages 6 upwards although I'm sure I was learnt to play the game when I was 4 or 5 so maybe the age isn't so accurate, The youngest player must also start the game off first just as the rules state.

There are different versions of Guess Who? these days, I myself have heard of the Simpson's Guess Who? game and have also seen Guess Where? There are also handy travel versions of the game to keep children busy on long car trips. The travel Guess Who? Is about £5 although this can vary so keep your eyes peeled for a bargain.

The object of the game Is to have individual guesses of the identity of your opponent before they guess yours by asking them various questions about the features of the face, Hair or Eye colour E.g "Has this person got a large nose?" and so on, If the person says "no" to the question you can flip down all the frames with large noses If they say "yes" Then you no to flip down the smaller nosed faces instead.

The winner Is the one who wins 5 rounds first although Myself and My brother found this to be to easy when younger so used to play with the 2 cards (This Is allowed) To make It trickier, This consists of basically playing as you would with the one card but It can be a little bit more difficult as you are trying to guess the identity of two people not just one.

This game kept me entertained for hours when I was younger and can still have the same effect now after all these years. Id recommend It any day. And If you have never played this game before what are you waiting for? Guess Who Is excellent and for £10 you cant go wrong.

The only grumble Iv got about this game Is that It can get boring with there not being many options of different play available, This particular problem has never really bothered me but all the same I thought It best to put In.

Thank you for taking the time to read this I hope Its been useful.

Summary: Good fun game

I never had my own copy of this game, but loved playing it round friends houses. I played it at work the other day (it's ok I work with children!) It's stil as good. I hadn't thought about having two people to guess at a time. Nicola x
