juego muy entretenido

This is a fun game for a group of 3 or more.Each game consists of 4 rounds. In each round, eight new cards are dealt onto the game board, each one with the name of a person or character. Each player is given 10 picto cards for the entire game (each card has 4 symbols, so you have a total of 40 symbols to pick from, but you can only use a card once per game). Players draw keys to find out which character/person they are assigned, and then they have to pick from 1 to 3 picto cards to use as clues to help people identify your character (you want people to guess what you have so you get more points). All the other players do the same. Then, each player tries to guess the character that all other players have, by secretly sliding in one of their colored keys with the character number. If you guess correctly, you get a point. If other players correctly guess YOUR character, then you also get a point for each person who guessed correctly. For subsequent rounds (2-4), new character cards are dealt out, new keys are drawn to find out what character you get, but you do not get new picto cards, so each round gets harder.It's not a super fast-paced game, but it is fun. We are looking forward to playing it again!

Let's start with the great design of the player cards with the voting key function. This really made it easy to move the game along, no mess to be contained during rounds and made scoring a breeze.I watched a video on how to play, barely had to touch the instructions due to that, it really is that easy!I was lucky and had exactly 8 players, so we filled out the board. For the most part everyone knew the "people" listed and if anyone didn't know it was either the oldest or youngest playing that had to have a card described at the top of the round. We only ever had one card per round that needed an explanation.The surprise to me in the game was the "it's not" side of the card was almost more important than the "it is" side. At one point I was able to eliminate 6 of the possibilities by saying it was not a man or an animal. With that, people had a 50/50 chance of getting mine right, if they still had that key to use.We did put some "house rules" in place and halfway through the game allowed people to trade out some of the picto cards with what was still available in the draw pile. And this may be in the rules (again I barely read them) but we didn't allow a board to move to the next hand unless they had rated the one they already had. (It becomes very easy to determine what's what if you can see them all)In the end I left the game at my parents because that is where I thought it would get the most play. I didn't see a suggested age range in the description, but my college age niece and nephew did the best followed by my 73-year-old mother and my 11-year-old hung in there and helped different people at different times. Which is to say this might be best for those 18+, but can be enjoyed by a large age range.18+ due to pop culture knowledge, this game is totally safe for any environment.

I've played a few games now with ~4 people each time,and I can safely say this game is a super fun party game. It very much reminds me of telestrations with passing around and judging things in a large group setting, so it scratches a similar itch, but with a fun twist.The game was a lot of fun by everyone; people who enjoy a range of games from complicated to simple. There's a lot of chatter and explanations with opportunities for fun at every turn. You get to be clever both in judging and in placing the pictographs to describe your celebrity. They also have a very nice range of celebrities from Freddy Mercury, to Tokyo from Netflix's Money Heist (one of our favorite shows. And with the actor cards being double sided, there's a ton of opportunities for no repeats. Also, even with some celebrities coming up again, there's randomness in what OTHER celebrities show up. Signifying a cold female would definitely point to Elsa, but what if she's on the board with Arya Stark?This is a fantastic party game and I'd suggest anyone who enjoys Apples to Apples or Telestrations to pick it up!

Once we figured out how to play the game, we had a lot of fun. It is entertaining. Some of the directions were a bit confusing, but by going on-line, we were able to figure it out..

We're always on the lookout for clever, fun party games and this one has been a hit with our plays so far. The idea is pretty simple - you get assigned one of 8 characters and then use your cards to give clues to help others figure out who you are. The little key slot and magnet board system works really well and allows boards to easily be passed around the table as folks are guessing. You can even easily swap out your guesses later if you change your mind without messing up anyone else's guess. The little flip down area also makes it super easy to reveal the answers and score. I think it's best with a full group of 8, but works well at all player counts we've tried. You do run into situations where your clues are all terrible, but there's 4 pictures per card so there's quite a bit of flexibility to be creative. Overall, I have zero problem recommending this for a simple, fun, engaging party game that's not too thinky but still allows for some clever play.

This game is actually really enjoyable. The game, itself, is well made. The cards and other pieces are easy to figure out. We read the instructions and were able to figure the game out pretty quickly. Definitely a game for a larger, older (15+) crowd. Not because of anything crude, just because younger kids might not grasp it or know who some of the guesses might be. Made for a fun night!
