This is a simple but fun game which we played with adults and teens. It is intended to 4 players plus.The game is basically about communication-each counter represents a team of players and the team takes turns to describe a word on a card, mvoing the number of spaces on a die (which starts at numeral 3) around a board. The colours on the card represent a different subject. The words to describe can be quite difficult-not sure if younger children would get them (it is intended for age 12 years plus). We had great fun playing this with six of us (3 teams of 2) , the laughs coming when one attempted to describe Mardi gras as a Jewish festival and another seeming to use her leg in all descriptions

the describing part of the game is very well done plus there are lots of cards so plenty for multiple games. The board game is a bit rubbish, the timers are probably a bit fast. I don't think there is a chance of ever getting 8. The game descends into all of us just answering instead of teams but we still enjoy seeing how many we can guess. Says 12 plus so we give our youngest who is 7, 3 words from 6 cards (any colour) 2 of the easiest and 1 a bit tricky so that she can also enjoy the fun of articulating and having us other 3 guess. Glad I bought this game even if we don't enjoy playing it right.

This is a great game for 4 or more people, had a lot of fun over Christmas with itTried to play it with 3 people to start with. It can be adapted for this with only a little imagination, not quite as easily as the original game, which we have played so often that we have run through all questions and answers.There is a real need to supply more packs of different question cards with these games, please.Another benefit, apart from the huge fun is that depending on how many times you choose to go round the board it can take a shorter time--30mins ish--- or longer if you wish

As we have the original game I was just looking to get more cards, but as these were just a few pounds than the updated version I decided to go for this updated version. The new game has a battery operated timer replacing the egg timer, and means you don't know how long your 'go' will be as it randomly adds seconds. The thing I was most impressed with was the speed of delivery. I ordered it in the hinterland between Christmas and New Year but it turned up on New Year's Eve so I could take it to our friends' house that evening

Played this game lots over Christmas with various family and friends spanning several generations. The variety of categories make the game suitable for all ages - we found that the older players tended to do better on entertainment and sport whereas the younger people did better on social life - and the random timer helped level out the scoring. The cards cover a great variety of topics in all categories and it's always good fun to play. Can definitely recommend for anyone looking for a family game.

We came across this game when we found it in a rental holiday cottage. Its simple but great fun, particularly for larger groups. It involves splitting into teams and each team is given words which one team memebr needs to describe to the others. Its perfect to bring together a wide age group so ideal for family holidays. Some of the words are a bit tricky. I wouldnt recommend it for children below 10. We got round this by allowing the younger chidren to pass if they didnt know the word.

If you like original this is just as fun, has things like Sky+ so is a little more modern. Wish the timer was less annoying, the button doesn't work well and its difficult to tell when its going and if you managed to trigger the 'maxtime' for the special rounds. The random time for each round would add a nice extra element to the game if the timer was less crap.Might be more fun to have two egg timers, one for normal turns and one for maxtime.

Should I really give this 5 stars??? From consistently winning most family games with the standard set, my husband and I are now struggling to keep up with family members who are in their twenties and teens. Lots of fun all the same!Just make sure you have AA batteries as these were not in the box for us - and without them the electronic timer doesn't work, so we did not have the element of uncertainty as to when the time would be up.

We love this game. We played the original Articulate at a friends house and thought it was great, though we struggled on a few of the famous people and places. With this version it's more user friendly and includes day-to-day objects everyone knows. I wouldn't say it's the dumbed down version, I'd say it's the more practical version! It was a family favourite over the Christmas and New Year period.

I loved the original game. This is great. My only hesitation with giving this particular game the full 5 stars is the timer. I much pefer the more visible sand type egg timer as opposed to this battery opperated one that is variable and you have no idea how long you have left. The timer shouldt take away anything from this amazing game. Better with more than four although it still works well.

Bought this to play with my family (all adults) at Christmas. Was up till 1am playing it - was absolutely hilarious & the best £17 I've spent in a long time (very good price). I had previously played the first Articulate but prefer this one as the categories are 'current' rather than boring "general knowledge".If u have a sense of humour & enjoy a laugh this is most definitely for you.

Buy this game! I love board games but no one ever wants to play. Friends always want to play articulate, though watch out, there was a very awkward moment when my brother tried to get my mum to guess 'sex in the city' by saying you don't have this very often............. By the game, it's quick to play, you can use small teams and you can even read the cards and play as one big group.

Quick delivery, well packaged which protected the pristine boxI like this game. It's a fun game to play. Lots of laughing and a fair bit of friendly shouting and arguing. Funny playing with kids who use THE most bizarre descriptions for the easiest objects!Pros: Easy to learn and fast paced gameCons: Some categories (eg. working life) can be difficult for younger players

Amazing game! So much fun and certainly is a laugh. The categories are are great , some are certainly harder than others but it is good to challenge you to come up with ways to explain the words. We have played this with young and older friends and with the parents and they all love this game. It can be incredibly competitive and very additive to beat the other team

To be honest, not quite as good as the original game. The timer is a bit more "modern" than a sandtimer which someone has to always watch, but other than that we rather missed the round in the original game where everyone takes part (and which can change the outcome of the game). Really in his one once you have a big lead you're not going to be caught.
