Summary
Details

Race your friends to answer category prompts in this clever addition to our bestselling After Dinner Amusements series!

To play this fast-paced, family-friendly word game, grab a pen or pencil and something to write on for every player. Set a timer for 30 seconds (or slightly longer if you prefer) and pull a card. Your challenge is to list as many items as possible that fit the card's theme and then compare lists when the time is up. Everyone gets one point per item listed, but an answer only counts if no one else has it. Whoever writes the most unique responses wins the round!

Categories may include such topics as:

Things that are purple

Oscar-winning movies

Animals we keep as pets

Ice cream flavors

Players can also enjoy a solo version where they play against the deck with the help of upside-down sample answers on each card, such as 1. grapes, eggplants, Barney; 2. Titanic, The Godfather, Barbie; 3. Cats, dogs, goldfish; 4. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. FAMILY-FRIENDLY CATEGORIES GAME: Love word games and friendly/fierce competition? This fast-paced game includes 50 fun prompts you can use over and over with friends and family members of all ages: list as many answers as you can for each category--the player with the most unique responses in each round wins!

GREAT GIFT OR STOCKING STUFFER: Perfect for family game night, dinner-party host or hostess gift-giving, and adding some group fun to reunions, holiday gatherings, birthday celebrations, or any get-togethers.

TAKE IT ANYWHERE: The petite, portable tin is the perfect size to throw in a backpack or purse for on-the-go fun.
