Product Review (submitted on March 7, 2016):
I bought this game on a friends suggestion - I couldn't of been more pleased with it. The game was extremely easy to learn (about 5 minutes), and I stress that because I didn't figure it would be so simple. The rules even have variations to them for you to consider before you even begin. I could tell the game had been well planned and most likely extensively play tested.

The game play itself was excellent. Coming up with a one-word clue to describe the meaning of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc words is actually difficult when you have to consider the other players interpretation of that word. Something obvious to you might not be so for them. The average game time for our rounds was about 8 minutes. So it is a really easy game to pull out for a few rounds of quick fun. Setup is very quick; choose teams, place out 25 word titles, place the "agent" cards by the spymasters, pull out a "key" for the spymasters to use, and your ready to go - about 3 minutes on a bad day.

Highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a great quality game, that takes no time to learn or play, with tremendous replay ability, and tons of laughter.

"Simply Excellent" to add to any collection.
