The Game of Things
- It is humor in a box! This outrageous party game includes 300 hilarious topic cards that provoke even more hilarious responses
- Things allows you to come up with anything you want which means it could be PG when playing with teenagers
- Try to figure out who said what.You can play a full round, which could take close to an hour, or less for a shorter game
- You can write anything that comes to mind so be as fun as you want
- There’s a point system, and it’s fun trying to figure out who said what
- But like Balderdash, what starts to happen is, people start to go for the laughs instead of the score
- More risque in a group of all adults and everyone has a good time and it is easy to teach new players
Laughter is what it’s all about in The Game of Things. In each round, players write an answer to a topic such as “Things you would like to ask a psychic” or “Things you shouldn’t do with glue.” Answers can be as outrageous and hilarious or as straight-forward and precise as you like. Everybody then takes turns trying to eliminate each other by guessing which player wrote which answer. The last person left wins the round. The Game of Things comes packaged in a wooden box with a sliding lid. Conte

WOW!! Played this game for this first time on Halloween! This game is HILARIOUS!! Each player takes turns reading a card…then ALL players write down their answer without showing anyone…the “reader” then reads the answers aloud and each person must try to guess whom might have wrote that particular answer. Questions like “What you might find in a library” gets a whole new meaning when you are with a group of great, funny, close friends! This game is great for any get together…the more the merrier with this outrageous game!!

Bought this game yesterday with high hopes for fun! We have a group of friends that like to play games and this one seemed perfect for us. While we had moments of great laughter and fun, it was mostly way too slow. We will hopefully play again (I may have to do some convincing to the group though!), but will do so with some modifications taken from other similar games. One suggestion: get a dry erase board to write responses down on….makes it move quicker when you don’t have to repeat the answers over and over.

This is one of those games that has to be tried out, and once you do, it’s really funny. What it does is bring out the comedian in everyone. There’s a point system, and it’s fun trying to figure out who said what, but like Balderdash, what starts to happen is, people start to go for the laughs instead of the score. Running jokes start to appear – previous answers that make little sense for the new question, but they make everyone laugh. We’ve played the game where people in the group are still reminding each other of one particular answer a year later.

This game is so insanely funny. I had seen it characterized as blah in a review and, with all due respect, I thought that if your group is blah, the game could be blah. It’s the answers that spark the hilarity and when you get the question “Things you will do after your retire” and someone’s response is “Nude luging with Ted Nugent” I’d say it’s a pretty good time.
I’ve played it twice, once in a large group and once in a small group. It was challenging in the large group and really easy with the minimum four, but as with most games like this, it’s the game play and not the winning that counts.

This is a great party game. A lot of laughing and everyone can be “good” at it. With no right or wrong answers everyone can be a winner! I like that there is a way to play a long game or a shorter version. Fun, Fun, Fun.
