Guess Who?

My son came home from school one day and told me he played a new game, Guess Who? He really enjoyed it so we purchased the game to add to our collection at home.

Out of the box, the game needs to be assembled. There are two game boards, one blue and one red. There are twenty-four flip up windows that need to be attached before playing for the first time. Once the boards are assembled, they remain this way. There is no need to tear them apart.

The object of the game is to be the first person to determine whom the “mystery” person is.

Included with the game are 24 yellow cards. These cards contain the pictures of all the 24 characters under the 24 flip up windows. Each character has some unique trait. Some have glasses, beards, red hair, brown hair, hats, blue eyes, green eyes, etc.

The game is very durable. The boards are made of durable plastic that will not break easily. The cards are made of cardboard with a plastic covering over them, so they do not bend easily.

Play begins with each person pulling a yellow card. Keep this card hidden so the other player can not see it. One player will start by asking a question, trying to eliminate a few of the characters.

The first player might ask, “Does this person have red hair?” You would answer either yes or no. If you answer yes, the first player would flip down all the characters that don’t have red hair. If you would answer no they would flip down all characters with red hair. Play continues until one person can “Guess Who?” the other player has as his character.

Guess Who? Is a fun quick game that is made by Milton Bradley. It is recommended for children six and older and can only be played by two. Guess Who? is a great game to help with identification.

Guess Who? can be taken along when you travel, once it’s set up. We have played it in the car and on vacation. My son likes to take it to the mountains. This is one game everyone can play and will enjoy. I enjoy playing Guess Who? just as much as my son does.

Guess Who? doesn’t require batteries or is not a “noisy” game. A big plus in this mommy’s book.

The only down fall of this game, to me, is that depending on the questions, some games can be “too quick”. Like if you ask if it’s a girl and it is, there are only six girl characters. Minor inconvenience that makes you play the game more then once!

Milton Bradley’s Guess Who? is a game this mommy highly recommends. Oh, and my son seconds that! Guess Who?
