Week 14 (game night) Scattergories Categories

 Another game night! (I grew up in a game playing family- so I really enjoy playing games) I played Scattergories. So when I was researching games Scattergories Categories caught my eye.  I only had so much money budgeted for my 52 stay-at-home date nights. So I crossed it off my list as there were other games that I wanted to buy instead. I ended up finding this game practically brand new at the through the used Amazon section for a couple of bucks! Yay!


For those who are familiar with Scattergories it is similar but has a different twist that I really liked. Instead of sticking with one letter to answer all of the topics (S- Street Names, Girl Names, Type of Clothing) you get one category but have different letters to use. (MARRIAGE M-minister, A-aisle R- Rice, R- Ring,etc.). The first one to 25 points wins. It is a good game for 2 people, but more would make it harder as if you have the same response on the same line it does not count. 



After the 4th round, Jadae and I both ended up with 25 points! So we played one more, which he ended up with my points than I did. It was fun and a shorter game. We could have played more rounds but we both were tired. I enjoyed not having to think of so many different topics using the same letter. It was great just having one topic at a time. Jadae and I had lots of laughs over some of our responses. And some of then definitely were stretching it.

One downside to this is the timer. Because it was sand type someone would have to keep looking up to check to see if time was up. But you can easily use your phone to set a timer or just have a set amount of rounds to go through and the one with the most points wins!
