This family game is a fast-paced, social experience that will have three or more players thinking under pressure to name immediate thoughts to a topic card in just five seconds. It’s fun and humorous listening to some of your opponents’ thought processes. Our testers found this to be entertaining; game play continued for multiple rounds. Younger testers seemed to be able to keep up with older players.
