What I really, really like about this game: * The name. I can say it in front of my mother and not get southern daughter guilt for it. * No board. No dice. No game pieces to keep up with. * Unlike other trivia games, this one has clues. Eventually, after enough clues, someone is going to know the answer. * The trivia questions, unlike those in other trivia games, can be answered by the average human. How many times have I played trivia with my family and grown bored because all of the questions are too ridiculously difficult for anyone to answer? * This game made me feel smart. What I don't like about this game: * The name. My children tortured me by reading it off of the lid over and over again just to tweak me. * It's for ages 12 and up, but I don't think anyone under the age of about 25 could answer many of the questions, even with clues. That of course is only my opinion and I could be wrong. * This set is probably better as a booster pack for the Smart [Donkey's Pah-toot] board game. You can't play over and over again with just this set because it's too easy to memorize all of the questions and answers after going through them one time. I played with my parents, husband, brother, sister-in-law and a friend. The rules were easy. Nonetheless, we found plenty of issues to disagree on, such as whether or not a person had to say the exact words "fish tank" or if saying "aquarium" or "fish bowl" was enough. So we had a terrific evening."..."  Read more

Totally Gross is a great family game that makes everyone giggle. Kids love it becuase they can say words like "fart" and discuss the size of an elephant's private parts without parental reprimand. Parents love it because it's a game that teaches children that science is fun. This is travel size game, but it's not really suited for playing while actually traveling. Although the board is small enough to fit on an airplane tray or on a car seat, it is not magnetized. A bit of turbulence will send the playing pieces flying and the card decks sliding. My family chose to play it at the kitchen table. The game board was somewhat too small for the kitchen table. Still, we were able to advance our playing pieces. One suggestion: Although the game is designed for 2-4 players, my family of six divided into three teams of two players each. This arrangement not only solved the problem of having more players than playing pieces, but also increased discussion about scientific principles as teammates negotiated and considered (an argued about) answers to the trivia questions. The video included with this review provides an overview of the contents of the game box as well as a sample question."..."  Read more
