 Great game for groups!!! Nov 02, 2008
By T. Pitts
WOW!! Played this game for this first time on Halloween! This game is HILARIOUS!! Each player takes turns reading a card...then ALL players write down their answer without showing anyone...the "reader" then reads the answers aloud and each person must try to guess whom might have wrote that particular answer. Questions like "What you might find in a library" gets a whole new meaning when you are with a group of great, funny, close friends! This game is great for any get together...the more the merrier with this outrageous game!!

 Needs some modifying.....goes slow. Nov 30, 2009
By Mom in Midwest
Bought this game yesterday with high hopes for fun! We have a group of friends that like to play games and this one seemed perfect for us. While we had moments of great laughter and fun, it was mostly way too slow. We will hopefully play again (I may have to do some convincing to the group though!), but will do so with some modifications taken from other similar games. One suggestion: get a dry erase board to write responses down on....makes it move quicker when you don't have to repeat the answers over and over.

Things has to be played to know Feb 26, 2009
By Regina
This is one of those games that has to be tried out, and once you do, it's really funny. What it does is bring out the comedian in everyone. There's a point system, and it's fun trying to figure out who said what, but like Balderdash, what starts to happen is, people start to go for the laughs instead of the score. Running jokes start to appear - previous answers that make little sense for the new question, but they make everyone laugh. We've played the game where people in the group are still reminding each other of one particular answer a year later.

Similar to Loaded Questions and very funny Apr 11, 2010
By Ali

My husband and I are in our late 20's and host many couple game nights. We are always looking for games that get everyone laughing. We already own and love playing Loaded Questions and this game is very similar. A card is read, "things you shouldn't laugh at", "things you would like to do in a blackout", "things you wish were delivered", or "things that jiggle". Every player writes an anonymous answer and others have to guess who gave what answer. In Loaded Questions, one player per round tries to match the quotes to each player. This is a key difference in the Game of Things. Each player gets a chance to match a quote with another player during a round, if they are correct they get a point and try to match another person to a quote. If they miss, the next player tries to match and so on.
Some reviews say that this game is slow and boring but I think it depends on the group of people you are playing with. The level of fun depends on the creativity of your group and how risque you want to be. Obviously answers can be more serious or everyday..."things that jiggle." Answer: Jello. Answers like this might make the game boring but if you have a creative, spicy group of people then prepare for laughing until you might wet yourself.
Another reason people might see this game as slow is how the answers are written and given. Everyone gets a sheet of paper that is made of perforated strips. You write your answers on the strips, give them to the reader, and then people one by one try to match. Sometimes the answers have to be read more than once so that people can think who might have given which answer (a similar issue in Loaded Questions). Repeat readings would be especially needed if you are playing with a large group of people. We play with 5-7 people and that works well. I don't think this game would be as good for groups larger than this because it would be hard to keep track of everything and may pull away from the fun. It truly depends on what your focus is for this game. If you want to focus on the funny answers and make the point system secondary, you will enjoy this. If you are more concerned with who will get the most points and win you might find the point system frustrating in a large group setting.
We have really loved playing this at game night and do keep scored but are more concerned with giving creative funny answers that make people laugh. If you are a fan of Loaded Questions you will like this game.

I Laughed So Hard I Cried Dec 30, 2008
By CofeeGirl
This game is so insanely funny. I had seen it characterized as blah in a review and, with all due respect, I thought that if your group is blah, the game could be blah. It's the answers that spark the hilarity and when you get the question "Things you will do after your retire" and someone's response is "Nude luging with Ted Nugent" I'd say it's a pretty good time.
I've played it twice, once in a large group and once in a small group. It was challenging in the large group and really easy with the minimum four, but as with most games like this, it's the game play and not the winning that counts.
