Buy THIS game!!

The other day, I mentioned the game Catch Phrase -- and I got some emails. So it occurred to me that as we rocket down the road to Christmas -- it's time for you to think about HAVING THE RIGHT GAME for your holiday parties. I recommend CATCH PHRASE...

When our family first started playing this game -- maybe ten years ago -- this is what the box looked like...

Then, Hasbro came up with the "electronic" version...EVEN BETTER...

Here's what the current "electronic" box looks like...and it's a $30 game -- available at Walmart, K-Mart, Target, Amazon...


And it is the BEST GAME you can play with a large group of people of different ages. It moves fast -- you don't need to be a history buff or a trivia expert -- there are very few rules to remember -- and NO LITTLE PIECES to get misplaced.

When I sent the Coal Cracker outfits to Pennsylvania -- I tucked a "Catch Phrase" game into the box. I buy a new version every year or so -- and love to give this game as a gift...

The report from Pennsylvania was that they LOVED IT. I knew that group would enjoy a rousing, competitive game...

When you play, there are two teams -- and the number of people doesn't really matter. If you have a LARGE group -- sit everybody around a table, and give a paper plate to every-other-person so they can remember WHAT TEAM THEY'RE ON...

Here's how good this game is...

Last week, at breakfast club -- Linda brought in her Catch Phrase game to the restaurant so Sandy could borrow it.

Since there were four of us -- two Catch Phrase virgins and two veterans -- we decided to play a quick round to demonstrate how it works...

There weren't many other people in the joint...BUT -- there was one couple across the room -- and as they were leaving, they stopped at our table and said, "what's the name of the game? We've GOT TO GET IT before Christmas."..

Catch Phrase.

That's the name of the game, people...you can thank me later....
