Game Review (Detail): This game is based on a simple concept - the subject of the game becomes the players themselves. The players write their names, and names of people they know (or wish they knew!) on the dry-erase game board. As the main game token moves around the board and lands on various names, the players "vote" for answers that are most like the player in question. For example, Dad rolls the dice and moves the main game token, which lands on the space labelled "Mom". He reads from the card: Imaginiff Mom were an animal; which would she be? 1. A sheep dog? 2. A chimpanzee? 3. A Koala Bear? 4. A Bull? 5. A Panther? or 6. A Toad? Place your vote, and then all players reveal their votes -- the most popular answer gains 2 spaces for any player who voted for it! The one and only downside to this game -- when you write the names on the dry-erase game board, we found they were very easily smeared. We had to re-write them repeatedly throughout the game. However, the game itself was very enjoyable, and best of all, there was a lot of family interaction, discussion, moans and groans, and belly laughing throughout the game. It moves quickly, so no one got bored. I think we will be playing this one over and over agan in the future!
