Listography: The Game: May The Best List Win! (Board Games, Games for Adults, Adult Board Games)

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This game is SO fun!!!! It’s challenging yet engaging and a game that the whole family can play.

Well like so many people out there we have been trying creative ways to stay in contact with family and friends during this COVID19 shelter in place order. We have been trying different to play different games via Zoom once a week just to stay connected to family. It was a challenge. I came across this game, and thought why not try it out. I think we had the most successful game night so far! We were able to play and had a great time laughing at the responses of everyone else. My 12 year old son, 10 year old niece and all the other ages in between really got a kick out of it. We played it in teams, but you could play it anyway that would work for you. The instructions were easy and straightforward and like another review mentioned they are printed on the top of the box so very easy to reference and I don't have to worry about losing them. I have bought quite a few games hoping to hit on one that would work, and I think this one translated the best to a distance game playing format. However even face to face it would be fun. There were a few questions that I skipped because of the kids, not because they were vulgar, but because I didn't think they would be able to contribute or participate in that round. I would love if they could make a kids, Disney or young family version of this game, it would be amazing!

I got this game as a gift for my family. Everyone is an adult and sometimes it's hard to find group games that are fun when children aren't involved. We played this game multiple times in the first night because it's super easy to learn and became addictive really quickly. The concept is really simple, but it had us screaming at each other very quickly.

I have a weekly game group, and we tend to play games like Avalon, Cosmic Encounter, and Mysterium. This game is quite a bit more silly in nature, and while it may slightly irritate those that prefer rigid mechanics, we've found it to be an immensely enjoyable game, such that we've now played it three weeks in a row. A personal favorite was a card that asked for up to ten answers matching only one other person -- "Things people are scared of." Some of the best responses were sadly not worth any points (because they were so clever that no other person thought of them), but got good laughs (which, in my opinion, are worth more than the points, anyway). It's interesting because when you're trying to match no other players (or even just one other player), you have to decide between picking the obvious answer and hoping everyone else is going with the strategy of avoiding those, or picking obscure answers and hoping no one else (or only one person) picked the same obscure thing. It's great for getting to know people, or for testing yourself to see how well you know your group already. Things people are scared of -- common answers may include "spiders," "the dark," or "self-rocking chairs." The best ones were definitely "dementors" and "fear itself."

This game is like an even more fun version of Scategories (which is already a classic group game)!! The fun variables of trying to match with some people, no people, or only one other person makes this game super fun and challenging for mixed-groups. I've played this as a filler while waiting for more guests to arrive, or just as a fun way to pass the time getting to know new friends. I also found this to be a fantastic social-distancing game. I have friends who are very strict on their socializing standards, and this is a great game everyone can bring their own pencil and paper to and play seating at a safe distance from each other. I only give it a 4-star because I recall passing by several cards when playing with mixed generation groups. It's still a fun game, there are just a lot of unnecessary cards I didn't find would be fun to play the topic of.

We enjoy this game a great deal. I have played it with both 3 and 6 people. It is much more fun with 6 people. There are more ways to get points and it makes for a more lively and fun game.

This game is super fun. The more people, the better. A huge hit for teenagers, young adults and seniors. Great family game too. Our young adult children (24 and 25 yrs old) love playing it with friends. I have gifted this game half a dozen times and everyone loves it.

Two or more players. There are three types of questions. Each type requires you to make a list, but in the first type you try to make a list that contains items nobody else will think of. In the second type you try to think of items that will match as many other players as possible, and the third type asks you to match just one other player. So, you have to figure out not only what goes on the list, but what your competitors will know. This is a fun multigenerational game. We played with four generations on New Years Day. The game worked for the six year old, all the way up to the 87 year old great grandma. If you ever played the old game Facts in Five, this will appeal to you.

Fun for all. This is super fun, and hilarious. There are so many cards in the pack that you never feel like you're playing the same game over and over.

This game is fun for the folks who enjoy word/listing games. You can have strategy or not. There are a variety of ways to interpret the question so it doesn’t often get repetitive. I also appreciate the variety in amount of players ranging from 2-8 players which makes it a great board game to have for couples that has ability to expand for game nights. Love it! I will say though, as a Canadian buyer, some questions are a lot more American based (ie state capitals-not something I know 10 of). However, with a little creativity, can easily be modified as Canadian-based questions if not familiar with some US-based questions (ie capitals of provinces and territories).

A very simple premise for a game but it serves so well! Everyone likes playing it and we’ve bought it for a few other people as gifts. It’s been great to play over zoom during lockdowns and is also great in person. Also really good to play with those who speak English as a second language or in some cases, have no common language at all (provided you have another player or friend who can translate what’s being said for maximum enjoyment!) it’s a game which allows you to be imaginative but not too worried about ‘how good’ your suggestions are as you don’t really have time to think them through much. Just write down whatever pops into your head and try to match/not to match other players depending on which card comes up. Always something new coming out of it and a great rapport building game to play with friends or family.

Played this game round a friend's so already loved it

Fun game but poor quality cardboard means it was definitely not worth the $32.39 price tag.
