Review on 5 Second Rule Jr. Board Game - Just Spit It Out! Competitive Family-Friendly Activity For Ages 6+ - 3 Or More Players by Erik Gerber

So, this game has the potential to be a lot of fun. I saw this one on sale for a ridiculously low price and decided to give this to my son for Christmas and we played it with a several family members. Everyone really liked the idea of this game- name 3 of (any given topic) in 5 seconds. But, topics were all over the place, as if someone had every niche edition of this game and mixed up all the cards into one game that wasn't really appropriate for anyone. Not inappropriate, mind you, just wrong for average people. An adult was asked to name 3 Paw Patrol characters (not even the kids in the game could do this because they're not preschoolers), a teen was asked to name 3 all inclusive resorts. There were very specific questions about sports as if this is a sports themed "5 Second Rule" game- minor league baseball teams, PAC 10 universities, football penalties.what? There are some good ones that everyone could stand a chance at- 3 types of cars, breeds of dogs, colors in a rainbow, thanksgiving foods. the kind of topics that were in the game descriptions. It sounds easy but try doing it in 5 seconds, especially with that timer! It's a great game (I've played it before) but it would have been better if the card topics were more general instead of wildly all over the place. In the end, we all got bored and switched to a different game because nobody was succeeding with any of the cards we drew. Maybe this was why it was on such a great sale. I've played other versions of it that were much easier to complete the challenge at least some of the time.
