Great concept...but too cumbersonme... Review by SciGuy

Brain Worthiness

I was very excited when I brought this to the family. A group of six of us (ages 15-71) gathered at the table to give it a go. It is a great idea, but just a bit too challenging for most in our group. The problem is that the spoonerisms are a cool idea, but the trivia questions were near impossible for our group. In addition, as mentioned in an earlier post, it was a little unclear on instructions (ie: which question to read). The result is we ended up abonding the game after a while. My wife and I will probably give it another try, but if the manufacture tweaks the game it could go from mental meltdown to a whimsical wordplay! (Posted on 1/3/13)

Fun enough Review by Laurel

Brain Worthiness

I bought this as a family game for Christmas for a family that loves playing games. This was fun enough but I wish I had bought Mindstein instead. We had about 5-6 people and it wasn't quite enough to keep the game moving. I do think this will be more fun with 2 large groups. Positives: the spoonerisms are fun, challenge the brain, and keep everyone laughing. What didn't work well for us were: 1) the game board is quite flimsy and it's hard to keep the pieces where they belong; 2) many of the questions were trivia questions focused on current pop culture (which hopefully IMO will fade quickly). Some people might enjoy this but for us, these were impossible to answer and none of us would want to spend the time to ever be able to answer them. 3) There were no instructions re: which question to read of the 4 on each question card.

Brilliant and fun! Review by Never Clickname

Brain Worthiness

I love wordplay and this extremely clever game is just a blast! I love how the trivia questions range from pop culture to food items to just general knowledge. And the cleverness of having the board switch around keeps the game going. But the best aspect is all the spoonerisms! You don't even have to get it exactly right, consonant-wise--as long as you're switching sounds or letter combinations (and getting the trivia answer right!) you're good to go! (Posted on 10/31/12)
