Cardboard Warrior's Game of the Month - January 2008


What?
players: 5+
playing time: 1 hour
manufacturer: Outset Media
reviewer: Warrior Jessa
overall grade: A+


Construction: A+
This game is the cat's meow! I was first impressed that it comes in a tin box (a happily bright tin box to boot!), but certainly was not let down when I opened the lid to see what was inside.  The cards are a good quality, thicker than most and quite durable as my copy of this game has already been used MANY times.  Overall I'm very pleased at the construction, it seems it will hold up for a long time to come, which is good since I'm sure we'll be playing it often.

Playability: A
The rules are easy to learn and fun to read.  What's better than that?  It only takes a few minutes and you're ready to play!  The only piece of constructive criticism I have is that if you do get to playing it a lot, like we have since we got it, you may very well end up readying questions multiple time.  Note to the manufacturer: Give us an expansion pack of questions!!!

 Value: A+
As its description reads, "WHAT is a hilarious party game of who-said-what."  This game is not only hilarious, but revealing!  Don't be too sure you know who wrote the answer, the real author could very well surprise you!  This game comes with pencils, lots of scoresheets (though if you do run out, it's real easy to re-create), rules, a nice little screen to secretly jot down points behind, and of course the questions.  To make it all better, it comes in a handy dandy tin box which is very brightly colored!  Consensus: We love it!!!
