This is a great game for a lot of people. Not a great game if you have someone in your group that likes to argue and gets upset easily.

This game is fun and challenging. And it made it to me thru the mail fast.

Smart "Alec", as we have dubbed it in light of the fact that there are kids around us, is actually pretty fun. It is a trivia game that allows you more than one clue. This game is great for the trivia game player that needs more clues to guess the word.

Smart A-- has a box of cards and each card has ten clues on it that go from very vague to very specific. As the reader reads the clues everyone else tries to guess the word being described. Don't jump the gun though because you only get ONE guess! A clue may start out as: "a place in the northern hemisphere" and get down to "an island near San Francisco" with all the clues in between helping to describe the word.

It was very fun, and with the different categories it kept the game fresh. If they could only change the title.

I'm surprised that this game has reviews that are only 3 stars, it is a great party game. It is a blast to play and had all of us laughing. This is not a game for 12 year olds, I would strongly recommend it for people over 18, however. I love that it can be played in only a half hour, I want to scream when other trivia games go over the two hour mark. I thought many of the trivia questions were clever. Bottom line, of the group of four of us, everyone thought this game was awesome.

This is a straight forward trivia game, and unlike trivial pursuit, each game lasts 30 minutes tops (with 4 players). We have an 18 year old who found most of the questions were beyond her, but our 21 year old did fine with it. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for younger teens unless you team them up with an adult to help. We had a lot of fun with it, and when if you lose, play again- most of the games were over in 15-20 minutes.
