This review is from: The Worst-Case Scenario - Game of Surviving Life (Toy)
I enjoyed the "Worst Case Scenario" book, so I thought this game would be fun. However, it was a complete waste of my money. The basic idea of the game is to progress on the board to the finish by answering questions with a,b,c, options that deal with "real life" worst case scenarios. If the players get answers wrong they lose "limbs" on their playing pieces. While the questions and answers were interesting, most players ended up spending their time challenging what the card stated as the correct answer. Not only this, but once you've read and answered a question, it's easy to remember, so the next time you play you waste time skipping through questions you already know the answer to. In the end, this game was quite boring.

I received this as a gift from a friend who knew I was about to buy it. I cannot believe how bad this game is.
The questions and answers are extremely long, so once you read them out of course you will be asked to repeat them. The answers as others say are debatable and often seem a matter of opinion.
I have got this game out at 2 parties with 2 groups of friends, and it has bombed every time. I tried playing teams so more people could be involved with each turn but that still did not work.
Stay away from this game, maybe try smartass it is a fun game.

Worst Game Ever, 7 Jan 2008

This review is from: The Worst-Case Scenario - Game of Surviving Life (Toy)
This game was designed by committee, and it is terrible.
1) The playing pieces use little static-stick-on parts that are going to get lost in no time at all.
2) The playing cards have two-scenarios each, one on each side. On each-turn, time is wasted by players reading both scenarios.
3) The answer to each scenario gives NO explanation as to WHY it is the correct answer. Most of the time, you are left scratching your head about the correct answer.
4) Collecting of the 'gold coins' seems rather pointless, as they are too hard to accumulate, and too easily 'lost'.
It's just a really un-fun game. Avoid at all costs.
