Things to do to make the game more challenging would be to set the timer to one minute instaed of three and to purposely set the die on harder letters like “q” or “v”. Older children, teens and especially adults will love Scattergories. However if both players write Detroit, niether would gain a point. When the timer runs out and the round is over everyone compares answers and only those whose answers are different than all other players will recieve a point.Įxample if the letter rolled is “D” and the first category on the list states “cities”, player one could write Detroit, player two could write Denver they would both recieve one point. When the letter rolled is “D”, for example, the timer is started and each player must quickly write down whatever comes to mind for each of the 12 items on the card, beginning with the letter D. One player rolls the die which contains the letters of the alphabet and then starts the timer at 1, 2 or 3 minutes long. The game is played with 2 or more players and frankly the more players the better.Įach player gets a pencil, a piece of paper, and the same card that contains a list of a dozen items or phrases. Simple, yet addictive!Roman says: Scattergories by Hasbro is perhaps the best and one of the most challenging games around. If you have a different word in the category, you score a point.

If more than one person has the same word, they don’t score for that word. When the timer buzzes, the players have to stop and compare.

Then you have a timer set for 3 minutes and everybody starts thinking about what unique word would fit in each category that begins with the letter on the die. You and the other player(s) have a card with three columns and a list of categories, and somebody rolls the die to see what letter your words have to start with.

Shiela says: the Scattergories game is possibly my favorite board game because it’s fast-paced and really makes you think.
