Confession: I am not a fan of board games. I liked them as a kid, but for some reason, unless they are really fun, I just can't get into them. When I was pregnant and in fact 4 days overdue with Lily Bean, Biker Bob thought a nice game of Scrabble would take my mind off of things. I was so miserable that when he went to the bathroom, I cheated, just so the game would be over!
I was actually curious to try out the new board game called Sort it Out! from University Games. I thought maybe, just maybe, this could be an enjoyable game. It looked like it was a fast paced game with obscure, random facts- something that definitely amuses me.
Designed for 2-6 players, we gave it a whirl. I can't believe it- I had fun. LOL (Shhh.. don't tell anyone!) This is a great party game, because there is a little something for everyone. The main idea of the game is to put things in the correct order- this could mean sorting items by which one is the biggest, fastest, loudest, smallest, or longest!
Here's a sample question: Sort these things by their height- 1) Barack Obama, 2) adult kangaroo, 3) standard 6 foot ladder, 4) T-Rex, 5) full size double bass. The more you place in the right order, the more you score!
Game includes: game board, 6 moving pieces, 6 tile holders, 30 colored tiles, over 300 topic cards, sand timer, and instructions.
Ages: 12+
Price: $18.75
