Beat the Parents 4

The adults really don't enjoy the game, the kids think it's because we haven't beaten them yet. Not true, we are just bored. You need a team of kids and a team of parents to play. Game night this is selected by the kids, the seem to really like it. But I would only give it a 3 star rating.

Beat the Parents 5

We have a very large family which makes it difficult to find family games that are challenging for the older kids (aged 12 and 14) but easy enough for the younger kids (9 and 10) but not so easy that we parents are bored out of our minds!

This game has simple rules and is easy for the youngest to understand. The questions have a wide range so there are some that are very simple and some that are more challenging, and usually each card has a mix of the two. All six of us that played found some of the questions challenging at times. Every one of us learned at least one new thing from the trivia questions.

Unfortunately, if everyone in your family has a great memory, once you get through the trivia cards one time everyone knows all of the answers already! I'd say this is the biggest drawback of the game and will likely shorten it's life as a family favorite. If they had booster packs of cards that you could use to supplement it would be much better.

Overall this was a fun family game that kept all of the kids of playing age entertained and also made them cooperate as a team without arguing.

This is a great game and our two girls ages 12 and 9 beat us several times!They were so excited!It is a really good educational game.The big problem with it is that there are no replacement cards.We went through all the cards in two games.I checked around and there are no booster packs of cards.That left us really dissapointed.If we had known that, we never would have bought the game.

I bought this game with some birthday money and hoped it would be worth it. Getting my two teen daughters to sit still for a game can sometimes be a challenge, so I was pleasantly surprised to find them intrigued and willing to give it a shot. Maybe it was the whole "beating the parents" idea.

With my wife and I on one side, and the kids on the other, we jumped in. After a minor mix-up on some rules, we got going and had a good time. The questions seemed to be well-assorted, and in fact my oldest daughter did "beat the parents." Oh, man! Now, we've got to play again so I can have a shot at redemption.

Despite a few little things that could've made the game clearer and quicker, I think this is well worth it. The other complaint is that we went through all the questions in the course of two games. Other than that, we modified a thing or two to fit our family's mood and my daughters even said, "That was fun, Dad. Can we play again sometime?" Which I think, translated, meant: "Can we beat you again?"

Hmmm. I guess I'll give it another go.

I had a great time playing this game with my kids. They really enjoyed trying to find a question mom and dad couldn't answer. It is a very educational game for both parents and children. A great game for family game night!
