Mattel Mad Gab

Lot of fun

We absolutely LOVE this game and have been playing it for yearsa we laugh so hard and it's such a good family time game!

I got this before a big house party that included adults and kids. We didn't play it formally, but it was fun just to break into two loose teams and take turns with the cards. Some of the phrases are very challenging. The children were a little too young to know a lot of the phrases, but they enjoyed playing anyway. They could participate by reading the words, and they enjoyed hearing the adults sound silly while trying to sound out the phrases.

I love revisiting the nostalgic word games of the 90’s!This game will get you laughing and good vibes all around! Game itself arrived in great condition and complete. If you love word games, get this one!I know there’s a modern version of this game that I haven’t checked out yet. Soon though.Have a fabulous day!

Mad Gab is a lot of fun. We don't necessarily play by the rules; we just go around the table and let the pronouncer also be the one who has to figure out what they're really saying. Sometimes that can be more difficult because when your mind is seeing one set of "words", it has difficulty deciphering the true pronunciation. The game does not require a lot of deep thought and provides a lot of laughs around the table. Younger children might have difficulty because they might not be familiar with certain celebrity names or certain sayings.

bought this game on a black friday whim based on all the good reviews. however, it wasn't as fun as the high reviewers say. we found that some of the word phrases just don't sound like the intended phrase, while others are blatantly obvious. also, several of the word phrases are celebrities that our kids had never heard of. the game allows for a 'coach' to help the reader know what syllable to stress--this was fairly necessary, or some of the word puzzles would never have been solved. We also found that the timer is REALLY loud and sort of annoying--the rattling clicks made it a little hard to hear the phrases, and we finally played without it. Overall, it's ok. Sort of fun when the word puzzles are written well, but not really the rollicking good time I expected from the 5 star reviews.

Had this game when my kids were teenagers and we had a blast playing it. Recently saw this on Amazon and ordered it. My kids are now in their 40's and guess what? We are having a blast playing it!!!! Fun, fun, fun game!!!

Really rather expensive for a game but my daughter wanted it. Her family plays games and when company comes by that is one of their favorite things to do. I just sent it to her so I have not received any feedback. She has played before and that is why she wanted the game.
