Mr & Mrs Board Game

Based on the immensely popular 70s TV show, the game is sure-fire way to bring toil and trouble to otherwise calm relationships.

The concept is as simple as its on-screen counterpart: one partner is asked questions about the other, and both must agree to score points. "How often does your partner weigh themselves?" will strike fear into many men's hearts, and "At what age did he start shaving?" is a question many women may not be able to answer accurately. Some questions are divided in "man" and "woman", while others are suitable for all. Depending on the number of players, the host is either an individual or a team, and "partners" do not have to be the same gender, or even a partnership in the traditional sense: mothers and daughters can play sisters and brothers, and so on. The key, however, is that you know your partner well enough to engage in an honest appraisal of their character and habits. The first partner to be asked writes down their answer, and these are compared to the second partner's answers to see if points are scored. All points are kept centrally by the host(s).

Simple, fun and often controversial, this game is guaranteed to bring chaos to any tranquil household, the like of which has probably not been since the game "Scruples" was so popular in the early 90s. --Susan Naylor

There are two versions of this game, one for two players and one for more than two, so you pick accordingly. Basically, it is a you ask your partner a question and the partner writes their answers secretly. At the end of a 3 question round, you find out if your partner thinks the same about you as you think about yourself and vice versa! Its a very very simple game.

This game could have been quite a laugh but we found the questions to be very run of the mill and incredibly boring! There could have been a lot more fun questions and silliness in here. We played this game and sadly will not be bothering again.

This game is SUCH fun...! We bought it as an anniversary present for our friends and subsequently played it.. it had us in hysterics.. things that you think you know about your husband/wife, like what is their fave colour.. number.. pop band.. film star.. even birthdays... its amazing what you think you know, but don't! We had about 5 hours of playing this straight off... we became completely addicted.... Now I am going to buy it for some American friends who are getting married.. lets see if they see the funny side of it... I shall update you!!!

Unexpected guests? Power cut? Has the rain spoiled your BBQ ? or do you just need a fun game to play with friends.
Then this is the game for you.
Not only is it good fun, but you really do get to know how well that friend or loved one really does know you.
Take it with you on that caravan holiday in case it rains.
You can even play this with the Mother in Law
Give it a go,

We bought this game to play with our youth group and have not been disappointed. Although couples tend to know each other better and therefore win the game, as long as you choose your questions carefully, pairs of friends can also play and enjoy the challenge. We have had some good evenings of entertainment from this game.

This game is not bad once in a while. It offers the potential for humour not so much in the questions posed (e.g. "what's your partner's favourite ice-cream"), but in the sometimes heated debates that ensue (it was marvellous to see my mother haranguing my father telling him that his favourite ice-cream has always been vanilla (I know you better than you know yourself) when he insisted it was strawberry). This is about as funny as it gets.

Any time you need a little light relief when you're with your family this fits the bill.
