 Awesome and addictive!! November 22, 2008
Simple concept leads to hours of fun! The game doesn't take hours to play, not by any means, but you'll find it's impossible to stop. Great for large groups. Basically, split up into teams, have a player from each team haggle it out to see who can get their team to guess the words on the card using the least number of clues, then let the games begin. The best part of the game is the bidding war, especially when you have really competitive people bidding. The trick is to know when to put away the pride and stop haggling which is easier said than done. Very challenging and extremely addictive. Just be prepared from the inevitable demands of a rematch!
I hope you're not a wordy person July 10, 2008
We fell in love with this game. I chose it because of its similarity to Taboo, but now, instead of being hung up on not using the words on the Taboo list, you have to be mindful of the amount of words you use to describe the words on your list. The name of the game is 25 Words or Less, in which you have to describe the five words on your card in 25 words or less. But, there is a twist. There is a bidding process in which two people look at the card and bid against each other to see who can describe the five words using less words. For example: The list contains the words: Lion, Tree, House, Balance Beam, & Courage. Two opposing clue givers will look at the list and proceed to bid. Person A bids 25, Person B bids 24, Person A bids 23, and so on until one of the two says I can't go any lower, the card is yours. Then the one minute timer starts and now however many words were bid is how many words the clue giver can use to get his/her team to guess all five words on the list. We had a clue giver bid 12 words and she was able to get us to guess all 5 words on the list in only 10 words. Surprisingly, not many of us in the party went over the words, if anything we had more words to spare most of the time. This game is great and with only three times played we had over an hour and a half of fun.
Great Family Game Night Game January 12, 2008
This is a great game for older kids and adults. It makes you think! It is similar to TABOO in that you have to guve clues to make your team guess the words, but it has a twist, you have to bid on how few words it will take you to give clues to get your team to guess all five words on the card! We had a lot of fun playing this over the holidays! Definitely a new games night favorite!
Like Catchphase with a new element of skill... December 5, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you like Catchphrase, Password, and games like it, you'll love this game. It's great for large groups (I've played with 12-15 people) and the added element of having to keep words to "25 or less" really makes it fun, in my opinion. It's because of this that I think it's a great educational game. Players learn to be exact and brief in their communication rather than rattling on forever. To do well, you need to have a good grasp of the language. And if you make a mistake, even a small one, that can throw off the game, since you don't have a lot of "supply" to work with. This is a really fun game. Worth the $20 price many times over.
 Fun and challenging November 28, 2007
This game is fun. We have played many different types of games and found this to be different and challenging. The only complaint is that due to the bidding process, some people do not regularly get to participate in giving clues. However, we have enjoyed it much.
