Kiddos love playing this game. Very entertaining

Purchased this game as a Christmas present for my nephew. Finally had a chance to play it for the first time a few weeks ago. I was thinking it would be pretty easy for us adults playing a kids game, I was wrong. We played with 3 adults, a teenager, and a 6 year old. The 6 year old was able to do better than half the people! I think this speaks volumes to how good of a kids game this actually is. It can be equally challenging for everyone.

The game play itself is a self guided question game. Everyone has a "hedbanz", which is just what they call their plastic headbands that are included with the game. Each player places a card on their respective hedbanz. Everyone can see your card, except you. Your card has an illustration in addition to the description of what it is. The game includes a card with sample questions, but my group of players found that most of those questions were useless on most of the cards. You begin the game with three playing chips in front of you and a timer. When the timer begins you ask yes or no questions about your card. If you guess your card correctly before the timer runs out you get to give up a playing chip and continue with a new card until the timer runs out. After that point play passes to the next player, while you keep the card that stumped you. You continue with this card until you guess it correctly. The first player to get rid of all three chips wins the game!

The only reason I knocked off a star is due to the replay value. It seems there are about 50 cards that come with the came. If you play a round with 5 people those 50 cards do not go very far at all. With my group of 5 we went through approximately 10 cards during a session of this game. That means that after approximately 5 times playing this game you will begin to repeat cards. This will obviously hurt the replay value. Perhaps this is something that can be solved with an expansion at some point.

When I initially saw this game I thought of the Ellen show when she wears that ridiculous headband and her guests guess what the words are. I thought this would be a fun game for my girls and their friends to play-especially on those sleepover nights. The thing that many didn't like about this game that I actually was okay with was the fact that there are not a ton of cards and that the sand timer runs out quickly. I don't know about anyone else, but my children rarely play any of these games exactly as the directions recommend. I also teach and my students do the same thing with games in the classroom. They modify the games to suit the needs of the group. So when my children play this game, they extend the time. Actually they stopped using that timer and use a different timer we have in the house. They have also taken to using the headbands and making up their own cards to go on them to supplement the cards that come in the game. What I like about this game is the premise is simple enough that everyone gets the gist of the game quickly but the players are not bogged down in rules. The game can be modified without losing the point of the game. The thing I do take a bit of an issue with is the game's price point. I actually purchased this game prior to being offered it with Amazon Vine. I thought the premise of the game was different than the typical games and was looking for something fun to do for a girl's sleepover. However, at $20+ this is an expensive game! In this price point there should be more cards and the game should come with some sort of better timer device. Other than that, I do think this is a fun game and my children both at home and in school seem to really enjoy playing this.

My grandchildren ages 3 to 7 enjoyed this game!!

I have meaning to post this for a week or so but have been ultra busy. I mentioned in January that I wanted to buy a game a month to build up our board game stockpile. I decided to alternate kids versus adult board games each month. January was Adult (Wits and Wagers) and February I bought the kids the new Headbandz game. They LOVED it. I LOVED it, even my husband LOVED it (which says alot).

We tore open the box and in less than 5 minutes the instructions were read and the game was ready to be played. When it comes to something new in our household minimal set up is always a plus. The kids jumped in and got to playing and it was hilarious some of their guesses but it really worked their imagination and made them analyze the questions they were asking and the answers they were getting. I have to say it's more than just a game it does have some educational advantages. I sat down and played with my kids as did my husband and we really enjoyed it. I had to get back to housework but really was sad I couldn't play more. It has entertained the kids several times now in the past week and was definately worth the money. We will be taking this game on vacations as well as it's so easy to set up and bring along. Great for the houseboat vacations and hotel rooms alike when the day is over but the kids are not quite ready for bed. A definate must buy for kids 10 and under. Minimal if no adult supervision required but you will want to supervise if not play because the game is so fun.

I already have my adults game picked out for March and can't wait to buy it. We have an upcoming vacation to Lake Powell the end of May (houseboat stay with 16 friends). These games are going to come in handy for evening fun.
