Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I can't believe this game doesn't have more reviews or isn't more popular. I've had the pleasure of playing Super Showdown several times in small groups of parents with their kids... and this Thanksgiving I played it with just adults and every time it's been a smash hit generating lots and lots of laughter
Apparently it's a lot like "Apples to Apples" which I've never played.
Basically, there's a contest at stake - like "who would best win a snowball fight" or "could stay the longest in a haunted house." First you select from a bunch of fictional characters and archetypes, such as Harry Potter, or A Grandma. Then you add a "Twist" like "After 1 month of practice" or "With a time machine." And then you all argue your case before one player who sits out who acts as the judge. You need to come up with reasons why, for example "Prince Charming with the ability to run faster than a speeding bullet" would beat "Dora The Explorer with a Shopping Cart" at a scavenger hunt.
What's great is that even though the situations and characters are kid-like, you can still make very reasonable, impassioned and hilarious arguments; the childish nature of the subjects just adds to the silliness.
If you've got smart verbal friends, hilarity will ensue! And kids will come up with surprising and silly reasons as well. The designation on the box says 8 and up, and that proved to be true. Also, there's an element in the game that lessens the competition a bit and allows/forces 2 people to wind up arguing for the same combo - this is a great aspect too; these unexpected alliances add to the fun factor and keep feelings from getting too hurt.
One tip - consider setting some parameters on the argument stage, or it could drag on.
GREAT GAME!!! GET IT!!!
