Cards against humanity meets mad libs. My 24 year old son and I adapted the game for 2 players and had a great holiday afternoon playing. There are several suggestions for game adaptations and it's very easy and hilarious to play.Our favorite responses came together like a short, two chapter tale following the single prompt: "describe the history of humanity":"UFO releases rogue beast. Darkness.""We grunt bro."The only negatives are that the word magnets are challenging for a person with joint pain or hand related mobility issues to take apart, and they are kinda low quality with just an unprotected paper front that wants to separate from the magnet backing as you separate them from each other, and that I predict will fade very quickly with use. The good news is that the words can easily be replaced with adhesive printer labels. But it would be nice (especially for the price of this game) if they were just made better and if you didn't have to spend a painful laborious hour to separate them in the first place.Now that the words are all apart, I think we will play this game quite often and I look forward to playing with a larger group as well.Edit to add that we have since played the game with a larger group, including my 13 year old nephew and would like to add that while the structure of the game play is similar to cards against humanity, my sister pointed out that this game is better because it is suitable for younger players as well. There are a few prompts that might be iffy, but you can always skip or exclude them easily and without reducing your game quality.

This is a unique and fun game but set up does take some time. Definitely geared more for older teens and adults. The amount of time you decide on to come up with answers will set the pace of the game. It’s also funnier when you have a drink or two while playing. Would make a great gift too.

We have a weekly game night with 7 people- teens, young adults and Mom and Dad. We have played dozens of games of all types. We just agreed this is the best game we have ever played! We laughed until we cried and kept it up for almost 2 hours! Can’t wait to play again! Easy to learn, so much fun!

The game is fun and often hilarious. Play is quick, and you can play as many rounds as you want. I especially liked the simplicity of the "rules." For example, no tedious counting out numbers of word pieces; directions say simply, "grab three pinches of word magnets, about 75." It really doesn't matter. The Judge gets to play each round too! - And the rules answer "Can I add my own word magnet tiles?" with, "Sure. We already have your money, do whatever you want." And truly, you can teach anyone the game in two minutes. We bought the game + expansion pack bundle, and then I went back and bought the "family expansion pack" just to have more of everything in case we want to play with a larger group. (A lot of those "family" cards are for children, so just use them or not depending on who's playing; they're labeled.)

A hilarious game that lasts as long as you want it to. The tone depends on who's playing, so the game experience is very flexible and can be adapted to any particular sense of humor.

The concept is good. However, it isn’t as easy as it sounds & we didn’t find that it suited our family all that well. First of all, the hundreds of tiny little word pieces to pull apart took longer than expected & was very tedious. Drawing words from the pile didn’t give us enough choices to make descriptions of the situations. So we just left everything in a big pile and we just pulled words as we needed them. We had to go through all the situations and take out about 25 of them because they were R rated and not suitable for kids. We just ended up taking turns reading our sentences & it was sort of fun but not the kind of hilarity suggested. One suggestion is to have printed word lists instead of all those tiny pieces of plastic words. People could write their sentences on paper or on a dry erase slate. Also, a family friendly version would be better.I actually wish I had not spent money on this game.
