BONKERS Board Game

This could be a good game. Like the concept but the rhyming section has words that do not rhyme. We did conclude that some people might actually consider some of the words on the list as rhyming words if you had a Joyzee accent from New Jersey. Here is an example, "Find words that rhyme with 'OZ.' Answers provided, "CAUSE, PAUSE, CLAUSE & GAUZE." Really? OZ and CAUSE? Like a said, this would only be good for my relatives in New Jersey. I do like to poke some fun at my loved ones in New Jersey. Maybe they could make this section, "Find four words that people from South Jersey may think rhyme with OZ. You could come up with a politically incorrect version of Bonkers and people could secretly have good time in the privacy of their own home, window shades drawn, poking fun at different accents people have. Jeff Foxworthy would be a worthy investment into advice.

This is a great game for a mixed crowd, as 3- 10 players aged 4- 100 or more can play comfortably together. You spin a wheel to determine which of 4 categories you will play, then you are given a clue and asked to come up with 4 correct answers.The answers are somewhat arbitrary, but that is the fun of it. We adapted the rules to allow everyonre to call out answers together.

Great game and great concept, but some of the words that should rhyme don't. This is a flaw in the design of the game. The game itself is fun and entertaining. The family enjoys it and we play often. If you can overlook the rhyming issues on some of the cards, this game is fun.

I bought this to use with a high school group and they had trouble getting into the game. It's not their favorite among our game choices. Might be better for a group of adults. It seems to move a little slowly and wasn't as much fun as we had hoped it would be.

I like this game. I would recommend it to nerdy families like mine. Not really, but...It really is fun. There are strategies that make it funner. It is fun for adults and my 15 year old cousin. Can play in teams or individually. Each game only takes 20-30 minutes. Pretty fun.

The whole family gets to play this game because it is set up to give everybody a chance. If you have very young players, you can team them up; but we were surprised how easily the younger players (10 years old) were able to keep up. It's fun and the rules are simple.

Our family plays games a LOT. This one is a lot of fun and everyone enjoys it. The categories are more of a challenge than you'd think and it keeps us on our toes. Some of the rhyming words are goofy and don't really rhyme (such as words rhyming with Oz, cause, pause...) and the chip method of rating answers is a little much. Rather than piling chips for rating we just wrote the numbers 1-4 on four chips and use those. It works better than piling up the chips each time. All in all it's a fun family game.

We played a few rounds of this with my parents on Christmas Eve, but soon after tipping the timer found ourselves tongue-tied. What a ton of fun! There was a lot of frowning, shrugging, and stammering until the clock ran out. No one was going "Bonkers" except my husband, when he learned that "clique" is supposed to rhyme with "peak." He would have remained bonkers if Amazon wasn't always gracious about accepting returns, as well as accepting reviews of products they offer. Skip this game; we had a better time playing cards.
