She Would Say Whaaat? "Say Anything" by North Star Games, A Fab Party Game

Back in my day, games like Pictionary, Balderdash and Boggle ruled when it came for party time and social gatherings. Those are still classics but there's a new generation of board games out there that don't require batteries or electricity (yeah, I said it, BOARD games, not electronic). North Star Games is creating smart, clever and entertaining games appropriate for families and friends.

Honestly, I was a little skeptical if a game not produced by toy making machines such as Hasbro or Milton Bradley would be any good but after putting North Star Games' "Say Anything," I can in good faith say this game is FUN!

How to Play Say Anything
Basically, a question is read by one player (the judge) and the other players write down what they think the judge would say. Then, the judge secretly selects their favorite response while everyone votes with the two chips they have on the answer they believe the judge will choose. Points are awarded for the person who has the response the judge selected and to those who also selected it.

It's really not that complicated and as you can imagine, as the night progresses and players get a little punchy, the sillier the responses.

Why Say Anything?
Say Anything will get people talking pretty quickly after the game begins and that's what makes a party, right? It's also an opportunity to learn about your friends, family members and potential love interests *wink*wink*.

It's also a quality game and has won several awards. It's available from Barnes & Noble, Toys "R" Us and Target.
