Electronic Scattergories Platinum Edition (2001)

About this game

Like the original Scattergories, Scattergories Platinum Edition is a game of finding words that fit both fit the category and start with the letter it is supposed to. But instead of quietly writing down many words for many categories at the same time, players work in teams to yell out words while the timer ticks down. The categories change while the letter stays the same. Everything you need is in the electronic game unit. The categories and letters come up at random. There is also a game setting that changes the letter and keeps the category the same. And a setting where both change after every answer.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 99.
• 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 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
