Review on πŸ€” Second Thoughts: The Ultimate Quick Thinking vs Fast Talking Party Game from The Good Game Company by Brandon Gaines

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A fun game that never gets old

This fun game is played by 4 players. Each round is divided into two parts. In the first part, dice with letters are thrown and the letters are placed on the designated spaces on the team card. Then each time has some time to find words that match the discarded letter pattern by finding 5 different words on their card. In the second part of the round, the teams switch cards. There is then a "giver" and a "receiver" each time, and the giver has to give clues and the receiver tries to guess each word. A bit like an old TV game show. This game is fun because it has a strategy of finding words that make it difficult for the other team to guess. But you're also running against the clock to find words quickly. The way the timer works, the faster you find words, the less time the other team has to give/guess clues. It's a mix of a word game and a guessing game. In many games, you won't see the same cards over and over again after a long game. That way every game is fresh and different and doesn't get old. While the instructions state that the team should work on finding words to complete their map, I'm not sure how they could have done so without speaking or giving a word from the other team. Since we've been playing, each person on the team has been taking turns the word "creator".

Pros
  • Big variety
