Say Anything: Family

Very happy with this seller. The order arrived earlier than expected, even though it was a very busy time of year and it is a super fun game! It has been a long time since we've come across a new 'party' game that will keep us all laughing, regardless of age, for hours. We didn't want to stop playing!

Not nearly as exploratory as I had hoped, very superficial questions

Say Anything: 3-8 Players, Ages 10+, Average Play Time = 30 MinutesSay Anything Family: 3-6 Players, Ages 8+, Average Play Time = 30 MinutesI’ll keep this short and sweet…out of all of the games in my household, this one is the game most requested. The kids really enjoy coming up with silly answers, especially when it comes time to point out my opinion in various situations. Every answer I received on my turn revolved around “Star Trek” in some way…perhaps they are trying to tell me something? We even brought this game out during a family & friend get-together, where most of them are not gamers by any sense of the definition. Rather than score points, we just passed around the trivia deck and answered questions in humorous and inappropriate ways…this was, of course, after we sent the kids upstairs. Pictures were drawn and secrets were revealed, though it was all in good fun.There isn’t that much difference between the two games, in all honesty. The cards in “Say Anything” are a bit more open-ended to where adults can take advantage of “dirty-minded” answers, though playing it with family and keeping things PG is easily doable. Likewise, the cards in “Say Anything Family” are bit more cutesy in nature, but can be used in an adult setting. Both games are flexible that way, which I appreciate. The regular edition is designed to accommodate eight players, making it a tad more appealing than the family edition, which only accommodates six.Is either game right for you? Well, that depends. “Say Anything” and “Say Anything Family” is a very social experience, one that gets better the more people you have playing. If it’s just you and a spouse, it may not be all that rewarding unless imaginary friends are involved somehow (hey, I’m not judging). If you host or attend parties on a regular basis or have regular family game nights that involve more than three people, then either game will fit the bill nicely. It’s a great way for people to learn about each other and well worth the investment.

I loved everything about the game, except that it was missing one of the player tokens. We just used a nickel as a substitute--no worries! It was for the first immediate family gathering we have had in 10 years. My four children each have two kids and live in 4 different states, all the way from Texas and Colorado to New York. We had all 4 of our children, 6 of the grandchildren and two of our sons-in-law, plus two of our grandchildrens' fiances. The game was awesome!

Very fun!
