Scattegories for Scatterbrains

Name Place Animal Thing

This is a game almost any body who was a kid once , which means everybody knows. it didn't take much , just two sheets of paper ,some pens and pencils and all the imagination in the world. this wonderful experimental apparatus, helped pass time in the classes in which teachers were absent, in the long car and train journeys , you took with friend s and cousins to marriages,picnics, family reunions, and when i got bored with fighting with my sister during vacations.( One side note --- Summer Vacations is the most important loss in the transition from a student to a corporate types)

Well now Parker brothers the guys who gave the world Monopoly , have come with Scattegories. Its as an often used copy in some old ITC product lines goes "same great taste, great new pack". But seriously its been packed well. Its got not 1, not 2, not 4, but a 26 sided dice. One face for each alphabet of the English Language.And its got many lists with things from Animal Names to Things in a zoo written on them. The objective is to max all items on the list with the alphabet which has appeared on the dice. If you think its easy try doing it in 1 min intervals for which they have given timers.

The result is great commotion, confusion and a lot of fun. Playing with more people means you realise how similar you and your friends think. I mean common, have can all 4 (lalith/pranay/angad and i ) think of only Herr as a title with H. Especially when you can have his or her majesty.Every time same answers come , you don't score.

Try playing this game. To me its an ultimate party game. If you are a quizzer or were in any way enamoured by lit fests , then this one's a game, for you.

Go on . Your time starts now....tick tick tick....
