Our Review:

Buzzword, by Patch Products, is a party game that really keeps things hopping during the 45 seconds in which players must guess the answers to ten clues. On each team’s turn, a card is drawn that contains a “Buzzword” and ten clues. The answer to each clue must include the buzzword. For example, if the buzzword were “Apple”, the first clue might be “The object of my affection,” to which the answer would be “Apple of my eye.” A point is awarded for each correct answer, and any unanswered clues are given to the opposing team for a chance to steal a point. The first team to attain 50 points is crowned the winner.

Buzzword is a good game for small parties or get-togethers. It’s tougher than you’d think to get through all ten clues before time runs out, and the look of anguish on your opponents’ faces as they struggle to get a tough clue is pretty entertaining. Buzzword’s biggest drawback is that you can’t specify your own clues—you have to use the clues given on the cards. This can stifle your creativity, but ensures that the clue-reader doesn’t get stuck trying to think of a clue to give. All in all, Buzzword is a winning proposition for a party, but it probably won’t capture the hearts of the most creative gamers in the group.

Buzzword rating: 5/5 stars Great fun!

Absolutely love this game. My husband and I play it all the time with our friends. It's a great trivia-like game, and althought it's really fast, it's made easier because you know all answers contain the "buzzword." If you don't have this game, you should add it to your collection.

Buzzword rating: 4/5 stars Our group loves this game!

This games rules are simple. Takes less than a minute to get ready to play and is super fun. We like to have a "master card reader" who reads all the clues out loud and then points to which team got the right answer while someone keeps score; it keeps the game moving really fast and keeps everyone laughing.
