Review: Great game!! - This was the holiday game my family chose to take with them. Now the holiday game can always make or break the holiday. This one certainly made the holiday. It is a very good size for carrying, not too heavy at all. There is a very good variety of questions and it never seemed to be too hard. Bare in mind all my siblings are over 20 years old, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend to young families. If you love the show... This game is definitely for you!
Review: Some failings - We love the series, so were excited at being able to take a version of it on holiday. However we were slightly dissapointed due to the short time it can take to complete a game, the repetativeness of the types of questions / 'rounds' and the poor range of points available within the answers. Let me explain: The game consists of 6 rounds of the same type of format - always the format which has at least one pointless and at least one incorrect answer - so one person picks an answer, then the next, then you look to see how many points each person has, then you go 'back down the line' with the second set of answers. There was no sign of the rounds which have one part of the question given & you give the other part of the answer. If you get it correct you get the number of points for the answer, if it is incorrect you get 100 points. The other issue was one of making things a bit more interesting - if you look at the range of points 'available' it will often have from 0 to mid-teens / 20's only for the correct answers. So if one person picks even the most well known answer it might only be 15 points which means that if you score 100 for an incorrect answer in any round the chance is you've lost the game. Maybe they've picked questions which were unsuitable for use on the show, but for every single question to be like this leads to a boring game with no chance to get back in the game after you've scored a 100. Overall it does make you think, but the playability is poor.

### ⭐⭐ Nothing like the real thing :0(
*by M***T on 23 April 2013*

Bought as a gift for my boyfriend, who LOVES the T.V. show, to play on holiday. Turned out it was more multiple choice than knowledge based, totally missing the point of the game. Really very disappointing. Have played and really enjoyed the board game - why could this not be more similar?
