I'm looking for party type games for my daughter and fianc&eacute;. Is the only gripe about a timer? I don't know the game at all.

This is a very fun game that requires not only the use of a timer, but s strong use of creativity as you work with the cards given to you. This game is sure to provide endless hours of family fun. Manufacturer's Description - Team up to be creative in this party game where being different counts! In the Scattergories game, teams come up with answers that fit the categories listed on their card. Sounds easy, but the answers need to start with the letter rolled on the die! Come up with as many answers as you can before time runs out, but be creative - your team only gets points if no other team has the same answer.Do you have what it takes to be creative and think outside the box? The Scattergories game keeps you on your toes. Try to outwit other teams by coming up with unique answers in this fast-paced party game. Choose a category card, then roll the large 20-sided die and see which letter shows up. Race against the timer to think of answers for each category that begin with the letter on the die. Here's where it pays to be unique! You can only score points if your answers are different from the other teams'.

You can't play with four players, it just wouldn't make sense. Other fun games for 2-4 players? Milles Bornes is a lot of fun; I definitely recommend it.

It is a highly enjoyable game for most ages. I would say that starting at 6-7 just because of following the information on the character cards. With all of the different "games" inside, they range from beginner to expert, so all ages can have a great time

I play Everquest and the timer function is great for counting down the 30 minutes for lesson of the devoted, a daily exp bonus that is given to veteran players. There is a clock function too that reads out the time so you don't have to try to read the small Windows time readout. I really don't use the display except for gaming, but it is a welcome addition when you need it.

1. Ours came with 15 months of online access. I'm not sure why you got only 3. 2. You look on their schedule and pick the earliest available time. Sometimes that's in a day or two, and sometimes it's not until a week or two away. I don't know about doing it more often, since we actually never got around to doing this. 3. I loved the online games, but I rarely played them against other people. As far as I know, you can't speak to the other players. I just remember trying to identify things more quickly by typing their names. Mostly I played on my own. The best one for me involved listening to stories and clicking words as you heard them. The words are arranged in a grid, and you try to make a "bingo." I listened to some of the stories over and over during the course of the year, and I definitely got better at parsing what they said. Understanding came even later, but I had to begin with just making sense of this flow of unfamiliar sounds. I'm afraid I can't look up the answers for you. We came across a big downside of the program: you only get two installs for $800. So when you have two hard drive crashes (in the month before we left for Italy -- and then we got a new computer, and *it's* new drive crashed within a week!) you're out of luck. It was very frustrating to suddenly lose our program. Several times while we were in Italy, I thought of times I would have liked to look something up or practice something on RS that came up in a conversation in the real world. But, no, the company was too concerned that we would give it away to all our friends, so we couldn't use it anymore after the computer trouble.

I see your post is a year old but I'll answer in case someone else is curious. my daughter is the same age and reading very well. I would say skip the Dora and Princess games - they get zero play here. The games's my daughter seems to come back to over and over again are Pet Pals, Puzzled and Junie B Junes (they no longer make it but you can find it on ebay for under $15)

It is designed so that you can play with as many people as you want. You can change the rules to work for your party & party size! You can split into teams. We've played with as many as 18 people. We were determined to finish the game and it took us about 5 hours with that many people, but we have never laughed so hard! You can have just as much fun playing and not reaching the "climax"!

I think all three of your kids would still enjoy it. There aren't many overly complicated cards (the only ones I can think of that are crazy are Chaos cards, and those are optional anyway). The game itself is quite random and appropriate for all ages - no swearing, etc. The game keeps everyone on their toes so they honestly could do very well.

I think it looses some of its features but my husband and I have tried it. I would recommend Dominion or Love Letter if you want to play with two players. We seem to favor those for the two of us. Munchkin Deluxe is still one of our favorite overall games though. :)

I would recommend the non-beginner one. The adults in my family are addicted to it as well as all the kids. Would recommend. All the Think Fun games are great.

I actually returned this game and bought one with a backlit screen for my husband, who has been playing handheld solitaire for years. He has never complained about not being able to win. Never heard that one before. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

For sure, just make sure you are getting games appropriate for her age/level. We love the coloring one here, lol.

Patricia, Mega solitaire does not have a timer. It does store the high score. Kent

Same publisher, all are card games, but they don't all play the same. We love Gamewright games - Rat-A-Tat-Cat and Sleeping Queens are 2 of my kids' favorites. There's A Moose In the House is a decent game, but we prefer the other two.

Yes. This is a single player game, where you can control the individuals in your party.

Agreed. Two is fun for one-on-one time with our five-year-old, but I could imagine several people could play. However, since part of the game involves being the first person to call out a match, it seems to me like more than 4 could be a hassle.
