Say Anything Family Edition

Say Anything Family will feature the same game play as North Star Games' 2008 release Say Anything.

To summarize game play, one player asks a question (e.g., "Which magical power would be the coolest to have?"), each other player writes an answer they think the asker will choose, the asker secretly chooses an answer, everyone else bets on which answer was chosen, then the asker reveals his choice. If players guessed correctly, then they score one point for each chip they placed on the correct answer; the player whose answer was chosen scores one point; the asker scores one point for each chip on the answer chosen, up to a maximum of three. After a certain number of rounds, the game ends and the player with the highest score wins.

Say Anything Family will include 360 questions on topics that kids can handle as easily as adults. The game includes components for six players, as opposed to eight in the first game.

Fauna

360 animals on big cards are waiting for the players of Fauna. Every round a single animal presents itself by name and picture. The 2-6 players try to guess the animal's weight, length, height, tail length and - most important - the areas in which the animal lives on the Earth. The early bird gets the worm: an area on the big map or a sector on the scales already occupied by a player token cannot be chosen a second time. When no player wants to set another token the round ends and the scoring is performed. Tokens on correct spaces get points for the corresponding player, also tokens in the direct neighborhood of correct spaces score points. Tokens not earning points are temporarily out of the game - so risk should be carefully considered. Next round - next animal - starting player changes. The first player who reaches a certain total score wins (normally after 8-12 animals).
