Fun!
This is my new favorite game! It’s not difficult to play and it makes me laugh! We’ve been playing it with 4 people and it works very well. The more people who play, the more challenging it would be to “win”. But winning in my opinion isn’t that important. It’s more about how well we did, and laughing at the answers. The questions are very fun and answers can be simple or complex, and do not need to be excessively creative. Sometimes the simplest answers get the most laughs. We’ve had turns where we have numbers that are all one away from each other, and it’s so satisfying to collectively as a group get them in the correct order. The 1’s and 10’s are the easiest to recognize because they are so over the top. It’s the numbers in the middle that are a little more tricky. Great family or party game.

Fun and great for all ages.
Got 4 of us together last week to play this. All adults, a couple pushing close to 70. We all loved it. This is the type of game where everyone says, "Lets play it again". And then again and again and again. Not hard to understand. If you show a six or seven year old how to play they'll get the hang of it.

Lots of fun
This game is a lot of fun to play. I recently purchased it and played with a group of friends because I thought this game would be a nice addition to my collection. I will admit however it does take a bit to read over the rules and get going. Or maybe that was just me and my friends where we had to read over the rules a couple times to make sure we were playing it right. So that’s the only downside is it was a bit more complicated than I had expected. That being said however, once we got going and the game picked up, we started to really enjoy it. I like getting to get creative with the different scenarios and how they are either really helpful or detrimental to the situation based on the random number you draw from 1-10. The number 1 is typically for what we would be most helpful in the situation and 10 being least helpful and you make up what happens based on the number. So I enjoyed just riffing off me and my friends scenarios based on the prompt cards and then our series of numbers.I would recommend this game for any avid board game lovers but would advise brushing up on the rules and giving them a good read before playing so that way you can start without a lot of stopping to read back over the rules.

Very Clever Game Design
I love this concept, and the fact that you can play it with larger groups up to 10 and also in just pairs with modifying the rules (see below). The quality of the gameplay, however, is dependent on the cleverness of players, so choose who you play this game with wisely. The categories are clever. I think some of the negative reviews given to this game is more due to those playing it, and not on the game itself. For example:1. Some of the categories are reverse-scored, in that sometimes a 1 can be "least disappointing..." and other times a 1 can be "most likely to..." So you just have to pay close attention to the prompts before playing a round so that everybody is on the same page. That's not really the fault of the game design.2. Many have criticized that it is hard to keep track of who said what. To reduce this, we play by having everybody say their clue, then go around one more time to say their clue again. The person guessing then starts with who s/he thinks is lowest, asks that person for their card, then reveals the card number face-up. If correct, s/he goes to the next highest number, etc. That way you know immediately what that person's number was.I have played this around a campfire with one or two other people, when we choose a category, get a number, then just try to guess each other's numbers.In all, this game is a lot of fun if played with the "right" people. We often continue playing even after we get three cards either right or wrong.

Good and fun, but felt a little under refined.
It's a neat and fun game, but felt a little half baked.1. It's hard to recall which player said which sentence.2. The 1-10 ranking is inconsistent if 10 is max or least.We ended up writing names of the players on each card with a white board marker on the back of each card as it's in play. We also revised the play so that 10 is best or max and 1 is worst or least. The premise of the game is great, but it felt like a beta version that needs polishing prior to production.
