Review on ๐Ÿ“š Hasbro Catch Phrase Game B7389F01 by David Plunkett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great game, too much pop culture forever

The device itself is very nice, the buttons are big, the timer is audible. The main downside for me is how many pop culture and celebrity references were in this game. As a hint, I got 40 to 60% actors/actresses. While it's funny for some, it doesn't really make it easy for you to "guess" the word. If you don't know Zoe Saldana and any of the films she has been in, you literally have no chance of finding out. You can't even split this word in two to guess. Overall I think most families with older children will enjoy this game. I don't see anyone under the age of 12 who can play this game effectively. I've been playing Catch Phrase Jr for over 10 years and I've found that while the clues are easier you have a much more enjoyable game because anyone can participate (even my slow grandfather). This buzzword proved too difficult for our group of friends (male/female 25+) which was surprising.

Pros
