60 Second Slam! - Family Board Game

This was a really easy game to play. It is the opposite of scattegories. I like that anyone can play- it doesn’t take a brain full of knowledge/random trivia to win. The game box is compact and easy to store or would travel well. My one complaint is- the score sheets with the alphabet on them are quite small but I easily made our own on the computer and printed them out.I played with my parents one evening and we had a blast.

This has become our family's new favorite game! Easy to learn, fun to play. Similar to scattegories, except instead of one letter and a bunch of categories, it's one category and all the letters. My only problem was the score sheets. They are small pad of sheets and you can't find replacements anywhere. (I solved this problem with 9x12 white boards. You can buy them fairly cheap) Overall, very pleased.

This is a new family favorite. We at Scattergories a lot so we were excited for a twist on the similar concept. We tried twerking the rules several different ways in order to make it more challenging. It isn't as good as Scattergories, but it is a fun game. The biggest drawbacks for me were the sand timer and the answer documents. The timer shakes the sand down as people are vigorously writing to try to beat the minute. The answer sheets are so tiny and it is a headache to keep up with 5 rounds worth of them to tally up final scores. Fortunately, five of them fit perfectly on a sheet of copy paper so I made photo copies of that.

It’s a great intellectual game! Tests your knowledge. Just like scattergories but this time with every letter of the alphabet and less amount of time

We lost Scategories, so we purchased this in its place. Fun and easy to learn. Our first grader was able to play with the older kids/adults and keep up. The paper provided is too small for our first grader to write on; we just used lined paper with the alphabet written out for him.

This might be fun for a car ride or playing with kids or when you want a portable game. It is similar in general concept to Scattegories . . . but not as good of a game as Scattegories. You get a (tiny) notepad to write down items within a category (e.g., items in a grocery store) that begin with each letter of the alphabet, and it's timed. You could play this with just pen and paper and save yourself the 10 bucks. It's not awful . . . but it was kind of disappointing. We played it once and I'm not sure we'll play it again.

My kids AND my mom laughed so hard we cried at this game. Some of the categories were a little difficult for my 8 year old but we just picked and chose the ones she could participate in. Such good family night fun!! I would definitely suggest this one!! Also, it is small and easy to pack for a trip!!

This is a fun game, but 60 seconds is way too short to come up with answers. We usually double the time. There are plenty of category cards. It is fun and can be played with 2 people or a group.
