Scattergories Reviews

I love this game and with Christmas coming up I would really recommend it as a fun way to spend some time after dinner with the family. We tend to play this when there are about 6 of us and it can sometimes have us in hysterics laughing, although it can be played with less. Each person gets a folder that contains a pad where ...  Read the complete review

My girlfriend and I often like to play a board game of an evening when there is nothing much but mindless programmes on the television. We have purchased quite a variety of games from various sources, charity shops, boot fairs etc. Amongst our collection there are a few games we play more often than others, one of these most played games is ...  Read the complete review

I was introduced to this game by my husband. I don't usually enjoy trying new board games - they take too long to figure out, you can never remember the rules & the instruction books gone missing, are all the pieces there....etc etc... But there's none of that with Scattergories. It's such a simple format, but don't let that put ...  Read the complete review

I first came across this game when I played it at a party and loved it so much that I went out and bought it a few days later. The concept of the game is name items starting with a particular letter, e.g. Name a boys name starting with H. Sounds easy but once your under pressure it's amazing how much your mind goes ...  Read the complete review

Even though I'm (techncially) a grown-up now, my mum and I still enjoy playing board games, but I for one find them terribly expensive. So we tend to scout charity shops where we've been able to pick up as-new games for as little as £4, which is what this cost from the PDSA shop last week. I was pleased to find it as I've played in the ...  Read the complete review

As I have said in some previous reviews about board games, we don't get out much these days, having two small children, so we are always on the look out for good games that we can play at home with friends. Scattergories is certainly a game to fit the bill particularly if you like playing word games. The name of the game itself is a ...  Read the complete review

We go through fits and starts as a family for playing board games. However, the game I’m reviewing today has to be our favourite, which is plainly evident from the box, which has become rather battered. We have had Scattergories for some years now, and I think I paid about £20 for it. I have seen it more recently in toy stores, so I ...  Read the complete review

Scattergories . Many moons ago ( too many for my liking ) , while a youthful junior school lad , on a wet day a group of us would play a simple game where we chose various subjects ( eg boys name , car type etc. etc. ) , then went about giving an example for each subject , starting with A and going through as much of the alphabet as time ...  Read the complete review

Scattergories is one of those games you keep coming back to because it's such a laugh to play. With the timer rattling away, you have to fill twelve categories and not get the same answer as any of your opponents, based on the letter rolled on the die. At the end of three rounds, the scores are totalled and the highest score wins. ...  Read the complete review

From Capital Cities to famous bridges, each topic card asks you a variety of different things, and with 10 things to write ...  Read the complete review

Scattergories can be played with up to 6 people participating. When you open the box you should have six folders with a Scattergories sticker on them. These contain your notepads for writing your answers and the lists. Also there should be a 20 sided die with letters instead of numbers and a thin board to roll the die on. ...  Read the complete review

I'd never heard of this game before a friend recommended it to me a few years ago as a good game for Christmas. It basically involves a number of cards listing twelve different categories in each section (i.e.a brand name, a colour, a famous person). The letter dice is then thrown and you have three minutes to write down something from each ...  Read the complete review

Scattergories is a game that was bought for me and my wife a couple of Christmas’s ago and is one of those games that come out of our cupboard every now and then when we have friends around. The basic rules of the game sound very simple, but when you go to play the game you will find it is not as easy as it sounds. The game ...  Read the complete review
