Tension: The Crazy Naming Game (1992)

About this game

Tension is a game for 2 teams of 2 or more people, in which you have 1 minute to name examples of a given subject, which could be anything from "Annoying personal habits" to "Foods that are naughty but nice". Each correct answer moves the team 1 point along the scoring track. The only problem is, only the 10 answers printed on the answer card count! The first team to the end of the scoring track wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 4 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
