Today we broke out Electronic Catch Phrase for gaming night at my parents house. I typically don't like games like this, and right off the bat it had two strikes against it. First, it is a word game and second it is 'fast paced' and has a timer and you have a real feeling of trying to beat the clock while playing. Those are two things in games I really don't enjoy. I am more of a turn based strategy type of gamer.
In any case, the game wasn't half bad. It wouldn't be my first choice to pull out on gaming night, and my father felt the same way. But I know my wife and my Mom both enjoyed it, so it is safe to assume this game will see some more table time in the near future.
In total we played about 15 rounds and probably spent a good 3 hours playing. The time passed quite quickly. I can't say I'm looking forward to playing this game again, but I am certainly not dreading it.
This Youtube video is really funny, and I highly recommend anyone who might want to play this game (or has played this game) to give this video a watch. As you know from reading my blogs, I don't post many Youtube videos, but this one is a must!
