Finally new categories Oct 02, 2009
I've played Scattergories since it first came out in the 80s. I'm glad they finally put new categories in the new edition. Also, I found a way to work around that annoying loud ticking timer. 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 =)

A lot of fun for the whole family Mar 20, 2009
I played this with my children and we had a lot of fun. I recommand it for the whole family.

LOTS OF FUN Mar 06, 2009
The game is a blast! 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. This works better than teams in my opinion. 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! No more annoying paper scoring.
One thing is, you better decide on a system for veto-ing answers. I use a simple hand raise vote. I am a big fan of the "creative" answer but some people just are not. If there is a question of an answer being valid just have all those in favor raise there hands.
Great game, great fun. Needs expansion packs!

Scattergories: a game for (almost) all ages Jan 27, 2009
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.
