I've had this game for years and can't wait until I can buy copies for friends. The rules are very simple -- a team rolls the die and chooses a card. The card will have a word, such as "blue." Someone on that team would have to sing part of a song that has the word blue in it (e.g., don't you step on my blue suede shoes).. Then the next team would have to sing part of another song with the word blue in it (I'll have a blue Christmas without you...), and so on, until a team can't think of another song with blue in it. Then a new word gets chosen. It's great for kids and adults, an excellent mixer to liven up a party.

The premis for this game is intruiging and fun -- to be able to come up with a song that has lyrics that use words identified by the game.
The reason I gave the game 4 stars, however, is that I had an awful experience the first time I played the game. Here's the scoop...the group I played with included my father-in-law (a country music singer) and young brother-in-law (a rap fan). They repeatedly claimed and sang songs and tunes I had never heard of. I'm not saying that any cheating went on, but I was so far out of the loop about the songs they were choosing that there was no way to tell who was winning and who was losing. Well, OK, I was losing.
This can be a fun game if played with your musical peers. It can be a major disaster otherwise.
I hope this insight helps someone out there.

This great fun-for-all-ages game is not only exciting--it really makes you think! One's mind has to be sharp to remember lyrics to songs in just a few seconds. Music appreciation increases with all players too.
I encourage music lovers to try this game with family and friends. Try it, and you'll see how exciting and challenging this game is--especially in the challenge round!
