Monikers

GREAT party game! It takes a match to catch newbies onto the game, but once people get into the hang of it, this is an amazing party game. 10 people to entertain? No problem! This will have you acting like fools in no time!

This is a great game for families with older teens. We have played it quite a few times as a family of 4 and I imagine it would be fun with a group of adults as well. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a relatively easy to learn game. We laugh so much every time we play.

Party games arent my favorite kind of games typically. Id rather sit and do my thing and count up points at the end- I like strategy games. But this is a really awesome party game. It takes bits of ideas from other games- Catch Phrase, Password, Charades, and combines them in a way that makes it far more funny and makes you feel much less pressure. In the first round you can say ANYTHING other than the answer, so that takes the pressure off. And then the really obscure ones will go around the circle enough that youve maybe had a chance to see the card and know its coming so that you can guess it when it comes up- which is good because who could ever guess something like Roland the Farter, Court Jester or something like that. haha! A lot of them are easier and get you a smaller number of points like Inigo Montoya and Carlton Banks and Commander William T. Ryker. But theres a ton of really obscure cards that are harder and more funny. Then the second round comes along and you already have heard all the cards and hopefully paid attention, so now its up to you to remember what those cards were and guess them based on one word clues. During the third round you have to guess based only on your partner acting out the clues...which is when it gets truly hilarious. This just might be our new favorite party game.

Weve played this game on family vacations and holiday get togethers. Its a lot of fun.

my husband and i have been looking for this game for years and i finally found it! the best part is you don’t have to know what everything is to still be able to play, like some games that are movie or current event focused. played with friends and they enjoyed it, too! so happy we found this game—finally!

We love this game. It is great for parties or also something easy and fun to start a game night out with. Its super easy to learn how to play and each game is always new and entertaining. We usually end up cracking up laughing whenever we play this. I love that more expansions keep coming out because we do end up with a lot of the same card if we are playing with the same people. We always try to have this game on hand or at least one of the smaller decks so we can play at happy hour, at a party, or when we need something fun to do. Its definitely more fun with larger groups, but weve had fun with smaller groups of 4-6 as well. If we are playing in public, we just dont do the acting part. Multiple people in our friend group and family own this game since they want to be able to play anytime they want. No one ever vetos playing this, which cant be said for other games based on individuals preference/skills etc. I will always gift this game if I know someone doesnt own it. Might not be suitable for younger audiences, but you can always take out inappropriate cards. You also dont necessarily need to know what on the card as long as you can read or are good at memorization.

Fun and fast group game!

Just as Cards Against Humanity took a simple concept from Apples to Apples and imbued it with scathing, inappropriate wit and a unique 21st-century debauchery, so does this game using the formula of the classic party game Celebrity. The play is simple: get your team to guess a set of names written on cards, using fewer words each of three rounds. What transforms Monikers from simply entertaining to profoundly hilarious is the amazing set of people, concepts, cultural icons, memes, and tropes the creators have come up with. They range from obscure to immensely popular and from intellectual to dick joke (often, somehow, a clue is all four at once). In the same game, you may have to describe A Furry, charade Anthony Weiner, and decide the best single-word clue for A Basic B---- (perhaps Uggs or Latte). The points become almost superfluous, though it is helpful to have something to keep track of and give structure to each game.

I cant say enough about this game.

Super fun game! People always think its hard to learn how to play, but its really simple, so just convince them of that so they can relax enough to actually absorb how to play.
