Product Information

The Game of Things comes in a fabulous wooden box that makes it feel like a very grown up game. The game needs a minimum of 4 players but can be played by lots of them. It is also recommended for ages 14 to adult as some of the cards may not be suitable but if children can read and write, and parents remove any cards that the children might not understand, then they can definitely join in.

Film has also made it hard to intimidate me. Once you’ve argued nose to nose with Keifer Sutherland (we became friends) or told Kathleen Turner she has to wake up at 4:30am tomorrow (I still have the scar), what’s left to fear? If you can read and write, you can play The Game of THINGS... but parents can take a look through the cards and remove any topics they think the kids might not understand. They are still going to make you laugh.You must keep everyone engaged at all times so that their attention does not wander when it’s not their turn. There are lots of devices to accomplish that, but we found that keeping people laughing even when they were not writing responses or guessing “who-wrote-what” worked for us. When businesses start offering as-a-service solutions, they effectively take on the risk of service failure. Business enters a whole new game when it rises or falls on the risk of service failure, but that’s where the internet of things is taking us. To score the game you get 1 point for each correct guess and 2 points for the person left at the end of each round. Finally I want to touch on the game’s components. For a Parker Brothers game I have to admit that I was actually quite surprised by the component quality of The Game of Things. The game only comes with cards, sheets of paper and pencils but the game does quite a bit with those few components. First I have to commend the game on the number of cards that are included. The game comes with 300 cards which gives players plenty of prompts. For example you could play over 75 four player games (using the official rules) before having to repeat any cards. The prompts are good enough that I don’t really see a problem with repeating them every so often. I also have to give the game credit for including plenty of response sheets. I really like that the game uses sheets that tear apart which allow you to play ten rounds with each response sheet. Finally while unnecessary I have always been a fan of games that use wood boxes. Should You Buy The Game of Things?

From dealing with Keifer Sutherland on a film set in Hollywood to conceiving and launching the party game, The Game of THINGS…, Tom Quinn’s journey into the world of game design has been a interesting one. This is definitely the case with The Game of Things as the score keeping really distracts from the game itself. Basically the scoring aspect of the game involves players trying to guess which responses the other players came up with. Once every player has written down their response the reader reads all of the responses and the players then take turns guessing what the other players wrote down. Players score points by guessing the other player’s responses and being the last player remaining in the game. If I were you I’d get a copy in for the upcoming festive period, and grab it off the shelf when you go and fetch more wine later in the evening. You won’t regret it. Marketing is key! Before signing an agreement with any company make sure you understand exactly how it will be presented to the consumer. Have the marketing plan in the contract. No marketing = no sales.The final reason why the scoring mechanics are a problem is that it basically forces players to try and respond like they were one of the other players. If all of the players do this it doesn’t matter how well you know the other players as each player is pretending to be another player. With each player pretending to be someone else, the scoring basically becomes a guessing game. Important: There are no correct answers! These are topics not questions. So write whatever you want: straightforward things..., funny things..., outrageous things..., or write something that another player might write just to confuse things...
