Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This version is by Parker Brothers (PB). I believe the original (Guesstures Game) is by Milton Bradly (MB).
The rules are slightly different, as are the cards. I can't find the MB version in any of the stores anymore, so I bought the one by PB. The main difference is the scoring. In the MB version, the cards had 2 words, one was worth more than the other. In the PB version, there are still 2 words, but they are worth the same amount (blue cards are 1 point and red cards are 2 I believe). There is also no place to keep the team's score (except for holding onto the cards, which is why I guess the points are by color instead of the variation like the MB version).
The game is still fun at parties and everything, but I preferred the old cards. The new ones just don't make it as fun and challenging.
So, some good things. The new timer feels a lot sturdier. The old one was flimsy and would start on its own too easily (although my old copy was older than me...). My friends seem more willing to play this version due to the new card setup. You can still try to write on the timer if you want (there's a blank area), but there's no labels and it might not come off... The box is a lot smaller than the old version.
The bad, nothing much except for my unwillingness to change. My biggest upset is the box though. It's hard to get the game open, and if you want to put it back in and keep it looking new in the box, it's hard to pull off as well. The packaging doesn't really effect the play of the game.
This game is awesome. At least one person in your set of friends should own it. If you do play, you can't be timid or afraid. You have to be out going. It's more fun that way, and it can enhance your friendship (because you start to feel less worried about doing something embarrassing and can be more outgoing with people).
Yeah... That's my review...

Guesstures turns up the heat on the tired game of charades with a few modernizations. Good, quick pantomiming is still the thing, but now teams need to act out and guess four words in a matter of seconds.Pop four cards into the Mimer-Timer, then set it and start acting fast! The words may look easy, but you only have a few seconds to get your team to guess each one. Did your team guess right? Quick- grab the card out of the slot before it gets munched by the Mimer-Timer! When the game's over, will your team have enough points to win the trophy for Best Performance?For 4 or more players, ages 8 and up.Contents:1 timer, 378 cards, 1 trophy and instructions.
