Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Wow -- I bought this to use at a bridal shower, and I must say that I was really surprised at just how, to put it bluntly, JUNKY the game is. Not only are the booklets flimsy and cheaply made, they are full of spelling and punctuation errors as well! There are also LOTS of repeat questions for whatever reason...
Not that I was totally surprised, but many of the questions are sexist or manage to force you to put down your partner's physical appearance, lack of tidiness, sexual ability ect. ect... No matter how funny those things might be to some players, like all jokes they get old after awhile, and with this game it does not take long.
Also, if you're offended by brazen sexism and heterosexism, this game is not for you... I found it odd how many times the game managed to start questions off with "If your husband were gay..." or "If your husband were a cross dresser..." not to mention the sexist and out of date questions regarding gender roles... I always think the most interesting questions are the ones that push your limits as to what you know about your partner, not how many times you can comment on their big butt or small package.
Honestly, I feel like I am coming off as a humorless P.C. freak, but I really am not -- I love to play funny board games just as much as the next person! :) Like I said in the title, this game would be much more fun if you made up your own questions and used a marker and some paper... Even if you love the Newlywed game in all it's sexist and depreciating glory, you are bound to at least be disappointed with the lack of quality of the game itself...
