 Fun but more expensive than it is worth July 26, 2010

It is a fun way to learn some new and unusual words, but doesn't keep our attention as much as Trivial Persuit, Quiddler, or Scrabble.
 Great Language Arts FUN Game! June 15, 2010

I bought this game probably about 18 years ago. It was one of the first family games I ever purchased & we still have a blast playing it.
Growing up we didn't have a lot of money so we played a lot of word games: Unscramble words, List Rhyming Words, Find as many words in this word as you can etc. So when I found this game I was thrilled at the nostalgic value it brought me but as a family it also became a very educational game.
Basic Concept
There is a hidden word & by landing on the right location & answering the question correctly you get to look at a letter. When you know the word before someone else does you win.
Game Play
Move around the board, land on a symbol and answer a question related to that symbol.
There are four topics:
Spelling:
You have to spell the word. Usually this is a typical word but often misspelled due to something small.
Definition:
You have to decide the definition of a word. You get multiple choice here. Often less common words but with multiple choice not too difficult.
Scrambled Word:
This is where there will be a common six (I believe) letter word that is mixed up & you have to figure out what it is.
Hodge-Podge:
Hodge-Podge can be a few different things. It can be a famous quote you have to fill in the blank. It might be an acronym that you have to say what the letters stand for. It could be listing 10 - 12 words that rhyme with another word or 10 - 12 words that end or start with certain letters. Or it may be a long word that you have to find 10 - 12 little words using the letters in it.
Over all this is a really fun educational game. However, if you are an excellent speller with a higher vocabulary this may not be much of a challenge for you unless you fold under pressure because you are timed. I am sure there are some ways you might make it more challenging if you are creative.
If you want it just as a fun family game or to offer something that will help your children with their vocabulary & spelling this is a really fun option.
In the 18 years we have had it, and the tons of games I have purchased since then this is still one of my favorites. I think ScattergoriesScattergories is about the only one that has it beat in my book.
The Game was a Hit! January 9, 2009

The game "Huggermugger" was for my daughter to give as a gift. The family that wanted it had played this game alot and wanted one again. From what I have heard they LOVED it!

I've had this game for years, and every time we play it with company, it's a huge hit. It is a wonderful way to fine tune your word/spelling knowledge. Lots of fun!!!
