If you've never played this game, it's great. Two minor problems keep it from being amazing.
Firstly, there is a lack of instruction. Only one very scant piece of paper is provided. If you've never played the game, it takes a few moments to realize how it all works. That shouldn't be an issue. Board games should be playable out of the box, especially one this simple.
Secondly, the construction of the competition boards (hinged pieces of cardboard which writing clamps snap into) are a bit hard to link to the plastic clamps. My friend broke two simply trying to assemble the game. Also, clamps grip paper a bit loosely.
These are minor, nitpicky issues. The game itself is marvelous, great for both the party crowd and the intellectual type. If Milton Bradley paid a bit more attention to this game's presentation, it'd be perfect.

I love this game. I've had it for over 15 years but my sister wanted her own for Christmas. We played for hours and laughed until we cried. That's because the answers you come up with are judged by the other players. My family loves to question each others answers and veto certain ones. For example, I had O.J. Simpson as an answer for a HERO using the letter O. It was vetoed. :)

This game is timeless. I use to play it as a kid at my grandfathers house when ever we would go to visit and it is now a game that I have purchased to play with my family, friends, and children that I nanny for. It is educational because you have to think of your whole vocabulary and be able to use words properly to get the points for them. The pieces are a timer, notepads, and a giant dice with all the letters on the alphabet so it is definately durable, not much you can do to distroy it. Try it and I'm sure you'll have as much fun as I do.

We've had this game for years, and we still love to play it every now and then. It's fun to impress your family and friends with your wit and intelligence, especially when you are the only one who could think of a word for a particular category.
P.S. I always win. Just had to add that ;-)

A great game for families, older kids, or adults who are game players. I have played both this game and Scattergories Jr. a ton of times as I am a language therapist - everyone has a good time. I have not had a student who didn't enjoy it. A classic. A good gift. A lot of fun.
