Customers find this word magnet game fun and hilarious, with lots of laughter, and appreciate its quality and ease of learning.
Amazingly fun game. Very easy to pick up and play. Results depend on your group's mood- but very, very funny and great for parties. Pieces are well constructed and durable. Read more
Easy and quick to learn, great because everyone can play every round. Can be as family friendly or as adult as the players make it. A lot of fun. Read more
This game is hysterical! The whole family enjoyed this with friends. The original game pack has some words/cards that aren't necessarily for young kids, but there's a family expansion pack we got, too. Definitely a creative, fun game! Read more
we had a great time playing this game. it's great to see what players come up with. some questions/tiles may not be family friendly. initial set up took awhile. putting everything back in the box was....challenging (see note below). I would recommend this game. alternate game mode: set a timer to see how long it takes to successfully put all the pieces back into the box. LOL Read more
I ordered this as a fun party game. We’ve played a couple times now and had a blast. What makes it great for parties is that it’s simple enough to easily explain to folks who haven’t played before. They pick it up easily and are comfortable after just the first round. The ad says the game is for 3 to 6 players, but you could easily make it work for 7 or 8 players by providing your own steel surfaces for the magnets such as metal cake or pie pans. It comes with a ton of prompt cards, so I don’t think we will ever get tired of it. The trays for the magnets are steel, so they are very durable. The words are printed labels affixed to sheet magnets which are then stamped most of the way through but need to be pulled apart before you can play for the first time. I see that other reviewers had trouble pulling them apart but we didn’t have any issues. Somewhere I read that games go from 30 to 90 minutes on average. We have played for over an hour and didn’t “finish” because we spent too much time laughing, but that’s a good thing. Read more
Hilarious game, and fun for the whole family. Every level of player can find fun in this game. Read more
My whole family has enjoyed this game a lot! Really fun and seems like it won't ever get old due to the seemingly infinite possibilities. There's a few cards that are inappropriate for kids but otherwise seems great for my older kids (10, 13). It is challenging but fun. It takes time to setup the first time because you have to separate the 800+ magnets (they come in these sheets) but after that it's quick. Great addition to our game closet! Read more
I'm a little disappointed in this game and wish I had instead bought a similar game that's a little faster and easier. It plays the same as Apples to Apples and many other games with one subject card, one judge, and the players try to come up with something creative and funny that matches the subject. We thought it's a little too difficult to put single words together, staring at 75 random tiles, and your mind goes kinda mush after a few rounds. Definitely not a game you would play late in the night or after a few drinks. They would have a better game if they provided short phrases instead of individual words. I feel as though it's better for people that are creative or really good with words. My teacher wife (with a background in literacy) clearly was one of the best but we also had some friends that were surprisingly better at putting words together in odd ways. If you're a wiz at Wheel of Fortune or an avid reader it might be the game for you. As a scientist that struggles with abstract things, I was completely stumped at times and didn't even have a submission on some rounds, just gave up. Even besides that, it seemed to take us 3-5min each round to even come up with something, players completely quiet trying to think, so we found it to be a quiet and slow game, not necessarily what you want for a fun family & friends game night. However with that being said, there were rounds with particularly funny moments, so it has some redeeming qualities. I just don't see it being a regular go-to game and we will likely pick others most nights. Read more
