Everything Ever Card Game | Fun Family Games for Adults, Teens, & Kids | Fun Quick Party Game | 20 Minutes | Ages 12 and Up | for 2 to 10 Players | Easy to Learn

Easy to play and learn, we've played this with all sorts of people and even the people who "hate games" enjoy it!

This is a fun and easy game suitable for as few or as many people as you'd like. I was at a campout where a game reviewer (Ryan & Bethany's board games) had brought it and I found out later that two of us from the campout went and purchased the game. All ages can participate, though the younger ones will probably run out of answers sooner than teens and above.

The Everything Ever Card Game is an easy game to learn and play. I like that I can play this when it’s just my teenage son and I, or when I have a group of people over for a game night. The goal of the game is to end up with as few cards as possible. This involves having two category cards that you take turns trying to match. You’re not allowed to repeat someone else’s answer, and you only have 10 seconds to come up with an answer. This can be a fast-moving game, and really gets you thinking! I recommend it!

This is a very simple game to learn and play. It's decidedly in the range of "party games". If you're looking for a lot of strategy, you may be disappointed; and if you have super-competitive players, they could spoil the fun. But if you have a group (of pretty much any reasonable size) and everyone just wants to have fun, that's the time to pull this one off the shelf.One possible drawback is that children playing with adults may be at a disadvantage, as the game is based on having accumulated a long list of things that fit any given category - so having experienced more things is an advantage. Of course kids will have their own pockets of knowledge to draw on - like current-generation kids shows and movies - that the adults may not know, too; but I still suspect the advantage goes to the grown-ups.A lot is left up to the group to decide. If one person names something in a category and it happens that the other players don't know about it, how you handle it will ultimately depend on what your group wants the character of the game to be. You could stop to look it up, or you could just leave it to the honor system. Some categories may be open to interpretation. (If a category asks for "every Jim", do fictional characters count? Only famous people, or can you list your next-door neighbor that nobody else in the group has met? Again, it's up to the players to decide what kind of game they want to play.) The rules for using "judge" cards are very loose - and in my opinion this is one of the areas where it's really important that everyone be trying to have fun rather than trying to trip each other up.There are a ton of category cards, and you use 6 per player in each game; so there should be plenty of replay potential. So far I haven't seen any categories that would be non-safe-for-work or not family friendly (though of course whether this holds for players' answers is another thing that is up to the players), so this appears to be suitable for any kind of gaming group.The rules indicate that each player should have about 10 seconds to come up with each answer (but again it is left to the players how strict to be). Larger groups might want to be a bit more strict with timing so players aren't sitting disengaged for too long. For two player games, I've been tinkering with the idea of using a chess clock to limit total game time instead of putting a limit on each guess.Overall the simplicity of the game invites house rules and variations, and with that in mind I think most groups can adapt the game to suit them - as long as everyone keeps it in the spirit of a fun party game.

The game Everything Ever is super fun. Like they say, the game is extremely easy to learn and can be played right away. You start with a draw deck (6-30 cards depending on total number of players) and each player receives 3 cards as their hand for the game. Each player also receives a judge card. The game has two categories at a time, drawn from the draw deck, in the picture currently it is “Every Song With the Word ‘Every’ in It” and “ Every Band or Musician with a Color in its Name.” When it is your turn, you have 10 seconds to say something that fits into each category, no repeats allowed. For example, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and “Greenday.” Then it goes to the next person. However, if you are unable to think or repeat an answer for one or both categories, players have two options 1) take the penalty and grab that card+all cards below it (you want to have the least amount of cards at the end) and grab a new card from the draw deck and place it down or 2) you could choose a card from your hand place it on top to the category you don't have an answer to (you only get 3 cards so they should be used wisely) after placing down the card you must say something that fits the new category. If you can think of one word that fits in both categories, you can get one of two bonuses: 1) you can discard one penalty card or 2) draw a card from the draw deck and then add a third category card from your hand to the table. All players are given “judge cards.” If you feel that a player is saying a technically accurate thing but pushing it (models of cars when category is every car), you can play your judge card. First offense they get a warning but the second time anyone can flip the card over to “you’re out of order” and the player must take a penalty. The game ends when there are no more cards in the draw deck (ranging from 6-30 depending on number of players). Whoever has the least amount of penalty cards wins. Overall, this card game is super quick and easy to learn and the instructions make the game very clear. This game can go on for a long time depending on how many people are playing and how well everyone knows the category. I think this is a very fun game for all ages but may be a bit hard for younger kids.

You don't have to know a lot of stuff to play this game, but for it to be fun, you need at least a few players that know enough about a lot of different things to make it interesting. Some groups will love this, probably the young adult group that can talk music, movies, and pop culture non stop, but once you get families involved and adults that have forgotten more than they can remember due to new priorities in life, it's probably not going to matter that only the Olson and Williams sisters could be named as famous sisters.
