Pros: Really works your creativity. Lots of FUN!
Cons: Lots of papers involved that eventually will get lost.
The Bottom Line: This game is wonderful for a rainy day, or a Friday night with the family. Remember to be creative so no one else steals your answers!

| jbalonie's Full Review: Scattergories |
OOOhhh...this is one of my favorite games, seriously, I love it! What a great mind booster! Scattergories is a game consisting of a timer, a 20-sided dice containing the letters of the alphabet-(they left out Q, U, V, X, Y and Z), tiny blue pencils and six writing tablets that have 12 various nouns and blank spaces that look something like this:
A BOY'S NAME: ___________________
SOMETHING YOU WOULD FIND IN THE FRIDGE:______________________
A CITY: ____________________
etc, etc.
Before the timer is set, the dice is rolled, and whatever letter comes up is the letter for that round, until the timer goes off. Then you have a minute or two to fill in all of your blanks with words that start with that letter, for example....
If the letter is B...
A BOY'S NAME: ___Bobby____
SOMETHING YOU WOULD FIND IN THE
FRIDGE:_______Balogna______
A CITY:_______Boston________
etc, etc.
Then, after the timer runs out, players are awarded for each answer they were able to fill in WITHOUT duplicating anyone else's answer. If two people list the same thing, neither of them get the point. The game continues for a total of three rounds, using different letters but the same list each time. The player at the end of all rounds with the most points WINS!
This is such a fun game that never gets old. You will eventually have to make your own papers to fill in the blanks, since the game doesn't come with an unlimited supply.
