This game is similar to Apples Too Apples and Cards Against Humanity. It falls in between as far as adult content. This game has many inuendos . We did enjoy our first playthrough. Will need to play it some more and with all different groups to see how this will or will not stay in our collection.

Jeff Foxworthy  saw family members during Thanksgiving playing “Cards Against Humanity” and given its explicit nature, he got to thinking, as his creative mind is wont to do: “There’s got to be something you can play that’s still funny like that but not filthy like that. So I guess I reverse engineered it. I sat down and wrote 500 punchlines. No jokes. Just punchlines that sounded funny.”
Then he wrote 100 joke set ups on index cards, all related to family members. Players are each given seven of the punchlines and they have to picks one they think works best with the set up. Then the host has to decide which was is funniest. The person whose punchline is chosen gets a point.

 

Think fast, roll faster!
A fast-paced, action packed game for the whole family.
Players compete to fill out the category sheet before your opponents roll doubles and steal the board from you!
—description from the publisher
Fill out the different categories on the Game Board with words starting with the selected letter. But do it quickly! The player next to you is rolling 2 dice. As soon as they roll doubles, they can grab the board away from you! The game board continues to be passed around each time a player rolls doubles. Keep playing until all the categories have been filled out. The player who filled out the most words wins the game!

We got some enjoyment out of game but not sure it will make the table too often. One of the frustrating things is a person can roll double on first roll and you dont even get a chance while some other people have rolled for what seems like 5 minutes without getting doubles. Yes luck and chance are part of the game. I do like the categories and coming up with answers ther just has to be a better way thean just rolling dice.

We found many of these on sale at Sams Club. We have played The Abandoned Cabin and The Pharaohs Tomb. Both have very fun and unexpected puzzles. We were blown away with a few of the clues in The Abandoned Cabin. Lets just say look everywhere. Not saying much more as don’t want to spoil either game. We are looking forward to getting these played sometime this year.
