Catchphrase Board game.

‘Following its triumphant return – in the capable hands of Stephen Mulhern and longstanding mascot, Mr Chips – to UK TV screens earlier this year, ITV’s hugely popular All New CATCH PHRASE enjoyed peak viewing figures approaching 5 million a night and secured a legion of avid fans old and new.’ (Drumond Park).

Catchphrase is a board game based on the TV show.  I love the show so I was delighted to get my hands on the board game version.  I am always on the lookout for good board games as I feel in this age of video games and mobile phones, you really do need something to bring the family together.  The game can be enjoyed by kids of all ages, my teenagers love it.

Catchphrase is made up of 4 sets of cards and a timer.  The object of the game is to guess the catchphrase within the allotted time.  To make it more interesting, each set of six cards has a larger image on the back (6 cards form one image), which is revealed when the other cards are guessed correctly.  The person who guesses the most catchphrases correctly is the winner.  The drawings are in colourful cartoon style and easy to understand.  This game is suitable for children 8 years and up, but I must admit, my husband and I play it at night when the kids are in bed, it’s so addictive!

For anyone who wants an excellent alternative to playing Charades after Christmas dinner this year, look no further, this is perfect!

Available from www.drumondpark.com priced at £19.99, this is definitely a game not to be missed.
