    This is by far the easiest game to complete with 100% trophies. It makes a lot of fun but is nothing for casual Gamers of course.

A Game of Charades is the best charades aid I have ever played, and is perfect for any party, or group of friends wanting to play a fun game around the couch!

    The game features two initial game types: Classic and Variety. Basically Classic is exactly what you would think it is, the upside being that you get to choose a category before acting out your word/phrase, and Variety actual switches from not only "Acting" but also allows you to potentially sing, describe, or draw instead of acting, but Variety doesn't allow a choice on category, it is just completely random.

    From there you choose the number of players and how you want to play, between All Vs. All, Cooperative (where you all work together towards a high score), or Teamplay. Then you choose from 3 lengths of games, ranging from 15 minutes to one hour plus, and the game begins!

    I love the amount of choices in gameplay you have and the replay-ability here is almost endless with deep categories and choices as well! You have a certain amount of time to guess, and the score given depends on how quickly you get the answer right.

    The categories to play from are as follows: Film, TV, Books, Theatre, Music, Phrases & Proverbs, Video Games, and a Random category. Great categories, with almost no overlap after the amount of time I played, but the categories also limit the audience who should play, as they are all almost pop culture references, and are very much so focused on newer pop culture for the most part. I am not sure how well it would go playing this with your family for example, but a group of 16-30-year-olds would have an amazing time guaranteed.

    Overall I loved this game and would definitely recommend it to anyone who just didn't want to have cards, or didn't feel like coming up with stuff on your own, or to any group of younger people hanging out at a party or get-together.
