Customer Reviews

An excellent party game for 4-8 people.
This is one the better games that I have bought recently. The concept seems simple, but it does get harrowing when the timer is winding down and you realize you only have three clues left to get two words on the card. The game tends to work better with a higher number of people, as more are able to guess at the clues. Beware- This game can lead to arguments between couples when one member can't understand how the other can misinterpret the "perfect" clue. All in all, it is a good game, fun and thought provoking, and a great way to spend an evening. In my opinion, it was definitely worth the money.

What a fantastic party game!
25 Words or Less is fast-paced fun. I brought this game to a party and the crowd had such a good time with it that the hostess ran out to buy her own copy the next day. This is a game that keeps you on the edge of your seat and really brings out the competetive edge. Yet, it also appeals to those who don't usually enjoy playing party games. Let the bidding wars begin!

25 hours or more of fun
As an aspiring creator of board games, this game makes me jealous. There are words on a card. There is a timer. There is a baord. And you have to give clues. Those Winning Moves people went home early in game design but stayed up all night thinking of the best possible strategy/word game they could think of. It's so simple, yet so many hours of fun.

You are able to do everything you can in any word/trivia game - and that is show off your great skill of punny and clever clues. Keeping tract of your clues in your head, though, (counting and recounting) is, I think, the most suspensful & nerve racking part. Watch out for an abundance of laughter and bonding when your best friend or spouse rides the same brain wave and gets exactly what your talking about..."Stem Corona...STEM CORONA? ...um, um..."ROOT BEER"

Fantastic game - Game of the Year for Games Mag and everything. Small, compact, etc. Just be sure that your playing with a bunch that will be familiar with some obscure words.

ENJOY!
