Fun, but gets repetitive
Great game, especially if you only have 2 people! Can get repetitive after awhile but overall worthwhile :)

So much fun
This game is so fun. It's a classic. The more players the more challenging it becomes since a player does not get points if another player has the same answers. I am always suprised by the creative answers people will come up with.
The game is played when a player rolls the letter dice and rolls a letter. If the letter is R then each player has a list 1-12 of things. For example- Famous Person. For R someone might put Roy Rogers. You put something down for all 12 questions and then compare at the end. It's very fun.

A Classic
I've been playing Scattegories since I was a kid and it was Scattegories that got me hooked on board games in general. That three minutes of silence during the scribbling portion of Scattegories is the most intense three minutes in all of gamedom. It is possible to exhaust all of the cattegories if played enough times, but fear not because unlike many other games, Scattegories did make refills. A great party game, but alas I have retired from it because I argue on behalf of my words a bit too much.

Can't believe I didn't buy it sooner
This is truely a game that you have to think, but don't have to be book smart. It is a very fun game to play with a small or large group. One thing we don't like about it is the timer is loud and its hard to think when all you hear is it going.
