Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We received this game shortly before having a fairly large party at our home. After playing some Wii bowling, people were looking around for the next entertainment. I pulled out Anomia, since we hadn't used it yet, and said we should try to figure this one out. It turns out the rules are fairly simple, and we had a real game going within 10 minutes.
We all had a blast. It was an incredibly funny game, very entertaining, and everyone had a blast. It went fairly fast, so people didn't get bored. We had a couple instances of "just one more game" when people were planning on leaving the party.
After that great experience, we brought it to a large family gathering, and had a number of my younger relatives playing. Beyond a few categories the very young people had trouble listing (a musician for instance), they all had a blast playing. Additionally, since most of the categories are perfectly fair for any age, it's quite possible for an 8 year old to beat out an adult in a matchup, which is just great fun :)

Anomia: [uh-NO-mee-uh] - Noun - 1) A problem with word finding or recall. 2) Chaos. 3) The game where common knowledge becomes uncommonly fun! Anomia plays off the fact that our minds are positively brimming with all sorts of random information; things to eat, pop songs, websites, etc... Sure, under normal circumstances, it's easy enough to give an example of a frozen food, or a dog breed; but you will find that your brain works a little differently under pressure!The directions are simple. Draw a card from the center pile and flip it over. Does the symbol on your card match one on another player's card? If so, you must quickly face-off with the other player by giving an example of the person, place, or thing on their card before they can do the same for yours. If you blurt a correct answer out first, you win their card and drawing continues. Sounds simple, right? Wrong.Wild cards allow unlike symbols to match, increasing the number of things you must pay attention to. Cascading face-offs can occur when you hand over a lost card revealing a new top card on your play pile. All this adds up to a high-energy, hilarious play experience where everyone is involved at all times.Easy to learn, fun to play over and over again, Anomia will have any group of friends, family, even perfect strangers, shouting and laughing out loud as they try to beat each other to the punch!Players: 3-6 players, Ages 10 and up.Goal: To win the most cards by facing-off with other players.Cards: 2 decks. Each deck has 92 unique playing cards and 8 Wild Cards.Duration: One round lasts about 30 minutes. Two rounds are suggested.Vibe: It can be your turn at any time and anyone can be your opponent!
