Time's Up! Deluxe
Time's Up! Deluxe review
I recently got my hands on Time's Up! Deluxe, and let me tell you, it's a riot! I've always been a fan of the original Time's Up!, but this deluxe edition really takes things to the next level. It's the tenth anniversary edition, and it features a ton of new cards, plus all the best ones from the original game and its expansions. The new electronic timer is a great addition too, making it much easier to keep track of time.
This game is perfect for parties, family gatherings, or just a night in with friends. It's easy to learn, but the different rounds offer a real challenge. The first round is relatively straightforward, but the later rounds, where you can only use one word or no words at all, are absolutely hilarious. It's amazing how much you can communicate without actually speaking!
I especially appreciate the wide range of names included in the game. It's a mix of historical figures, actors, athletes, authors, and even fictional characters. Some of them I knew right away, but others had me scratching my head! It's a great way to learn about new people, even if it takes a little Googling afterward.
The only downside I've found is that some people can get a little frustrated if they don't know all the names. I think it's important to remember that the game is all about having fun, and it's perfectly okay to not know every single person. In fact, sometimes those are the most entertaining moments, as people get creative with their clues.
Overall, I highly recommend Time's Up! Deluxe. It's a fun, engaging, and hilarious game that's perfect for any occasion.
