Chronicle Books Listography: The Game

This game is super fun. The more people, the better. A huge hit for teenagers, young adults and seniors. Great family game too. Our young adult children (24 and 25 yrs old) love playing it with friends. I have gifted this game half a dozen times and everyone loves it.

This game is fun for the folks who enjoy word/listing games. You can have strategy or not. There are a variety of ways to interpret the question so it doesn’t often get repetitive. I also appreciate the variety in amount of players ranging from 2-8 players which makes it a great board game to have for couples that has ability to expand for game nights. Love it!I will say though, as a Canadian buyer, some questions are a lot more American based (ie state capitals-not something I know 10 of). However, with a little creativity, can easily be modified as Canadian-based questions if not familiar with some US-based questions (ie capitals of provinces and territories).

A very simple premise for a game but it serves so well! Everyone likes playing it and we’ve bought it for a few other people as gifts. It’s been great to play over zoom during lockdowns and is also great in person. Also really good to play with those who speak English as a second language or in some cases, have no common language at all (provided you have another player or friend who can translate what’s being said for maximum enjoyment!) it’s a game which allows you to be imaginative but not too worried about ‘how good’ your suggestions are as you don’t really have time to think them through much. Just write down whatever pops into your head and try to match/not to match other players depending on which card comes up. Always something new coming out of it and a great rapport building game to play with friends or family.

Fun game but poor quality cardboard means it was definitely not worth the $32.39 price tag.

If you are looking for a fun game for a party, family of friends gathering, this is a great game to have.
