Lots of laughs

With friendsBig hit when I visit my family

This is a box of a “First to Five” game. Everything you need is included, it even includes the ink pens for scorekeeping. There are clue cards and scorekeeping pages.. It is played a lot like Outburst, which I really enjoy playing. Therefore, I feel sure we will have a lot of fun with this game at future family get-togethers.! I recommended highly!

I ordered this for my teenage son and myself to play, as we have game days frequently. This game is very well made with a sturdy box and it actually includes pens for the writing tablet, which I've never seen a game include. It feels high quality. We've played several games of it now and while it isn't our favorite, it is still enjoyable. Some of the categories are very challenging given the letters provided, and we both got stuck several times, which felt frustrating. It's a simple concept that most anyone could learn easily, but the game itself can be difficult, depending on which letters and category you draw.

What a fun game for families! My eight year old and twelve year old both enjoy playing it with my husband and me. I'm always impressed by Skillmatics products and this game is no exception - it's both fun and educational!

The Skillmatics Board & Card Game - First to 5 is an absolute blast for all ages! Whether you're hosting a family game night or looking for a fun Easter basket stuffer, this game delivers. It’s a unique twist on the classic category game, where players race to be the first to 5 points by answering questions across different categories. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and perfect for teens and adults, as well as kids ages 8 and up. The game encourages quick thinking and creativity, making it a fantastic choice for parties or family gatherings. Plus, it's compact and easy to take anywhere, which makes it great for on-the-go fun. Whether you're gifting it or playing it with friends, it’s sure to bring lots of laughs and friendly competition!

This is a very simple game to learn and we really wanted to like it but there aren't enough specific rules to make the game make sense. The category will say something like "things that you shouldn't laugh at", and people can just write whatever they want to without any limits, so it's difficult to give points. While it is a bit of a silly game that could use some work, it will definitely get everyone laughing if nothing else.

I have ordered several different Skillmatics products and I have been happy with them all. The First To 5 game comes complete with pens that all worked for writing and a large paper tablet. The directions are well written and are fairly easy to understand how to play the game. The game cards are decent and seem durable. I like how compact the size of this game is and it makes it easy for taking with the family on vacation. I really like this game but the age range may very if an 8 year old can really play the game. Team play may be better if you have a mix of adults and younger kids but this game can be fun for all! I did notice at this time this game is also so in a bundle with other games for a good price...I would go with the bundle. These would also make wonderful family gifts.
