Our Editorial Review
Product Description Right off the top of your head name a restaurant, fruit, toy, Halloween costume, and weaponand make sure your answers all begin with the same initial letter. There are 144 different categories to challenge your mind. It is for 2 to 6 players. The Package contents: six folders, 36 category cards, two answer pads, six pencils, 20-sided die, six plastic clip strips, timer and die-rolling and rules board. Color of parts may vary.
Editorial Review Scattergories is a fast-paced word game that's a real crowd pleaser. Each player takes a category list with 12 categories--such as vegetable, state, president, things you throw away--and must write down the name of one item that fits into each category. Sounds easy enough, but each item has to begin with a specific letter that is determined when the 20-sided die is rolled. For instance, you roll the letter "R." Your answer list for the above categories might look something like this: rutabaga, Rhode Island, Roosevelt, rubbish, etc. You have to think fast, because a round lasts only 3 minutes! Players score points for each unique answer. --Alison Golder

A Classic Posted 11 July 2008
I've been playing Scattegories since I was a kid and it was Scattegories that got me hooked on board games in general. That three minutes of silence during the scribbling portion of Scattegories is the most intense three minutes in all of gamedom. It is possible to exhaust all of the cattegories if played enough times, but fear not because unlike many other games, Scattegories did make refills. A great party game, but alas I have retired from it because I argue on behalf of my words a bit too much.
Can't believe I didn't buy it sooner Posted 17 February 2008
This is truely a game that you have to think, but don't have to be book smart. It is a very fun game to play with a small or large group. One thing we don't like about it is the timer is loud and its hard to think when all you hear is it going.

my daughter was so happy to receive her own copy of the game, Scattergories. she is always playing with her friends at their homes, but now she can play at our home too. we have so much fun trying to get answers to the questions and beat the clock.
a good game for short or long time periods.
Best game ever Posted 17 January 2008
This is definatly my favorite board game. Its a whitty hilarous game that is sure to bring a good laugh or two to an awkward family gathering.
Intellectual Family Fun Posted 13 January 2008
My family and I love to play this game together. Scattergories challenges your creativity, because if two players come up with matching answers, neither player scores a point for that answer. The game has interesting categories on each card, and there are a lot of different cards. Even if you do decide to replay a category card, the letter will be different!
The one thing that isn't absolutely great about Scattergories is the included timer- it has a horribly loud ticking noise that makes it difficult to think. I recommend using your own egg timer or stopwatch to time the three minutes- my grandma even sets her kitchen timer.
