Quickerwits Party Card Game: Keep The Party Going!

sounds like fun, haven't had a chance to play yet.

Top 3 favorite group game. I'd recommend getting the original Quickwits card set too. A big group can play at one time, it's competitive, and has a few adult topics that make for a few good laughs. It's the game we always play when we have a lot of friends over.

so in my defense, my friends and I were just a bit past buzzed when we tried to play this game. suffice to say we threw the instructions over our shoulders and just sort of made up our own way of playing, which involved going around the circle, yelling, and forgetting whose turn it was, and a lot of sexual innuendos. It was lots of fun, I just don't think we played it right. Maybe we'll try again when we're sober? I do know I went back later and looked at the instructions and they still were a bit tricky to understand.

This is kind of speedy OUTBURST type game where you have to come up with answers as quickly as it takes to turn over a card and say something accordingly before your opponent does. The cards will say, "Classic Rock Band", "Harrison Ford Movies" etc. Mostly pop-culture type stuff. The cards are so broad though, that the game is pretty endless. When you flip over a card that has the same symbol as another card on the table, the flipper and the holder of the original card with the coinciding symbol have to come up with an answer for the original cards topic. The first to do so, gets the card. It's that simple.I would say this game could be played anywhere, but you would have to be able to see everybody's cards laid out on the table or wherever you choose to play. That would be the only catch.The game is fast and fun and easy. This is a simple game for people who just want to have some fun and don't want to get into an overly complicated game.

I represent the over 50 crowd and we played with the adult kids. Had a blast but our reflexes can't compare and I never quite got the hang of the link cards. But again it was an age thing.

First, this is definitely not a kid's game! It get's super inappropriate pretty quickly in my experience. It is quick to learn and fun right away. The cool thing is that you can scale up the size of the group playing. We've played with a pretty big group and it was a blast.

Can't wait to play it with our kids when they come to visit.

This is an awesome game that combines pop culture and trivia with a fast paced game. Essentially how you play is that everyone has a card face down in front of them. Each card has a symbol, and a category. It could be foods, slang, pop culture categories, and a few others so you don't need to be a trivia wiz in one category. Players move around the circle drawing a match card one by one. Once two players have cards with the same symbol, whoever names something from their opponents category word, they win their opponents card for their score pile. If no match is made, players keep drawing cards from the match pile until one is made.The interesting this about this, is that you have to pay attention. Because during gameplay if no matches are made in a round, cards are added to player's match pile. If during a round I lost, the winning player would get my card, and the card that was underneath my card is now visible and my current match card. Someone else could have the same symbol, and now I would be competing immediately again. It's a little weird to describe it out of gameplay, but the instructions have diagrams showing you the different kind of matches that can happen during the game.There are four different types of cards in the deck: link, battle, mystery, and charades. The link card has two different symbols on it. Instead of matching two of the same symbols during game play, those two symbols form a match. Battle cards are kept next to your pile when drawn, and when someone else draws a battle card, you can bet any number of cards from your match pile. A card is drawn from the match pile, and whoever answers it first wins the battle. Whoever draws the mystery card can ask the group a random trivia question, and whoever answers it right first wins. The charades card when drawn, the player acts out something and whoever guesses it right first wins.It's a little confusing when you first play, but after a few rounds you don't really have to focus on figuring out how to play, and you'll start to know when are where to look for matches. It's a really fun game, and because it has different types of cards mixed in, keeps it interesting. One thing I really like is that the game is inexpensive, and you can buy only the second edition or only the first edition, and it won't matter. You can buy both if you want to extend the game play, but you don't need the first to play the second. Overall I highly recommend it
