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

 So much fun November 24, 2008
This game is so fun. It's a classic. The more players the more challenging it becomes since a player does not get points if another player has the same answers. I am always suprised by the creative answers people will come up with.
The game is played when a player rolls the letter dice and rolls a letter. If the letter is R then each player has a list 1-12 of things. For example- Famous Person. For R someone might put Roy Rogers. You put something down for all 12 questions and then compare at the end. It's very fun.
love it October 21, 2008
we have had this game for years, and still pull it out to play when we have company over,
 A Classic July 11, 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 February 17, 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.
