Scattergories is a great for game night. Let’s face it. Not everyone is into words as much as we are. With Scattergories you get a terrific word game without all the stuff people who hate word games hate.
Scattergories is simple, easy to learn, but challenging. In this game, you roll the lettered die to get a letter. You then list as many words, beginning with that letter for a given (s)catergory. For example if the letter is C, you might need to write down as many vegetables you can think of that start with C. You get more points for being original so thinking of words no one else will have on their list is the key here.
You don’t need an extensive vocabulary or great spelling to play this game. Anyone, whether they’re a wordphiliac or not can get in on this game, have fun and compete with the most hardcore wordphiliac. So if you love playing word games but hate the moans and groans when you pull out your beloved scrabble game, try scattergories on your next game night. It’s a game anyone can enjoy.
