The main difference is that Scattergories The Card Game is a lot faster paced than the original game. In the original game you need to come up with several words at the same time while in the card game you need to just come up with one at a time. The basic gameplay where you need to come up with words that match a given letter and category is exactly the same. I would consider Scattergories to be one of the better word games I have played.īeing a spin-off game, you would assume that Scattergories The Card Game would be very similar to the original game and you would be right. Through the years I have played the original Scattergories from time to time. My Thoughtsīack in 1988 Milton Bradley created the original Scattergories game. All of the players count up their cards and whoever has the most cards wins the game. Once one of the piles run out of cards, the game is over. The players then play with the new letter/category combination. If at any point no one can come up with an answer within a reasonable amount of time (instructions mention 30 seconds), the card from one of the stacks is removed and placed in the center of their deck. A player also loses a card if they take too long to answer or they repeat an answer already given. The incorrect player(s) needs to discard one of the cards they had previously won. If the other players determine that the answer is incorrect, another player gets to try and provide a correct answer. The next round begins immediately with the new letter/category combination.
This card is keep and counts as a point for the player.
If the answer is correct, the player who provided the answer gets to either take the letter or category card. The other players get to determine if the given answer is correct. Once someone has answered correctly they can either take the “Boy’s Name” card or the “G” card. Some possible answers include George, Greg and Grant. In this situation the players need to think of a boy’s name that starts with the letter G.
