The Wooden Box is a lovely tough and it makes this a really excellent present. It feels special, it protects the contents well and it'll look good on the shelf for as long as you own it.
Inside the box are the game cards, scoresheets, answer sheets and pencils, as well as instructions. The answer sheets are serrated, so once you've written your answer, you can cleanly tear it off to pass to the reader.
Although The Game Of Things is recommended for age 14+ only, you can take out any particularly obvious cards and play with children around 7+ who are able to read - at your own discretion and while biting your own tongue!
Players play individually and each round take turns to be the 'Reader'. It is the Reader's job to take a question card from the pile, read it aloud to the other players, then collect their answers and read them aloud. This way only they can see the handwriting, or know who said what?
It really is hilarious. The answers are always amusing, even more so when you are only playing against people of your own age. You can never really guess what people are going to say, some answers astound you - but it's a great way to get to know more about your daughter's boyfriend!
The Game Of Things is available to buy now from games stockists instore and online, including Amazon, rrp £32.99. Suitable for 4 or more players aged 14+ (or 7+ with responsible adults). There are a few different add-ons, you can find out more on The Game Of Things website.
