Bought this for my husband and we took it with us on a family ski holiday last year.

Had loads of laughs with the 2 families competing (ages 7 upwards). Adults felt old remembering things from the 70s, and kids giggled at some of the old straplines.

Disagree with all those people commenting that it's only for thickos who watch loads of TV. We all take in brand messages all the time - through TV, online, packaging etc . This game actually stimulated a discussion with our kids about how sneaky & clever marketing is, and how advertisers use colours/shapes/words to influence you - they were fascinated, and are now much more critical of what they see in the shops!

Agree that we need some extra cards now!

Order processed easily and delivered quickly and ontime as advised. The game itself is maddening, totally compulsive!! One game and you're hooked - takes you back to the things you used to buy as well as current products - excellent!

This game arrived today as a present for my husbands birthday, and we have not stopped playing it.

Even the kids have enjoyed playing. Simple game play involves moving a counter to the corresponding colour on the game board when you get a question right. No fussy set up, or complicated rules and pieces, just a board some counters and a box of questions.

The questions are fabulous, even our 6 year got involved.

Sample questions include; How many different flavours are there in pack of Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles? Which Swedish home products retailer was founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943? What is the number one best selling brand of crackers in the UK? Which soft drinks company was originally called the British Vitamin Products Company?

This game is really relevant to the UK market with occasional questions on the big organisations like Mc Donalds and Coke, but overall a great UK based game.

Having played this for the best part of the day, we are now awaiting a top up pack of questions as we will soon be through the box.

Come on Drumond lets get some top up cards.

Buy it and have some great traditional family fun. You will not be disappointed.

This was perfect for our recent christmas gathering and it was amazing just how much the brands and logo's have burrowed in to our minds and rooted themselves firmly! We've played it a few times already and aren't getting bored yet. Good in teams, good for just the two of us, not too long to play but long enough to get you interested, I can't think of a board game that I've enjoyed more in the last few years. I would caution against playing it with children, there is nothing offensive, rude or dangerous, they just probably won't know the answers to questions such as "what flavour of bisto is in an orange packet". If, like us, you have your parents over every so often and you fancy doing something different to watching the television once the kids have gone to bed, buy this game, it'll be fun.

This was a great family game and even though it is recommended for age 12 and above, our 9 year old enjoyed playing it - especially in teams of mixed generations. Our 11 year old really got into it and there was a nice mix of questions to appeal to both children (eg crisp flavours!)and adults. Neither kids nor adults had exclusivity on the knowledge to answer the questions so it was an inclusive game. We found it quite easy to play - it was quite simple once you started. Unlike some other games there was no lengthy set up time and after the first turn everybody knew what to do. This meant that our children went off to play it by themselves too -fantastic. Because it was so popular we will soon run out of questions so if the manufacturer reads this, you know what you have to do!!

I've played this twice and it's an awesome game. Really mixed logos/brands and a good mix of easy and hard questions and from different eras too so everyone can play though if you like your motorcars you'll probably have a very tiny bit of an advantage! It's competitive but so much fun and I really recommend it.

Enjoyable game,helps jog the memory. You will be surprised at how many logos you are able to identify. Even the younger ones can participate. Sadly a bit expensive.

I have just bought this in preparation for Xmas 2011 and in advance of the family arriving for the holidays, I thought I would give it a dummy run using Hubby as a guinea pig - the rules are simple. Ha! There is at least one person in the gathering I will leave standing but when my son rang home and I tested a couple of questions out on him, he knew half of them (will make sure he is on my team!).

It's fun trying to remember what was the product for a particular logo or answering the questions on the card. The game is informative i.e. I would never have guessed the first ever product to be barcoded and the game board, cards and holder are of good quality so should last for years and years. Can't wait to play it with my adult family (I may borrow the young kids next door for the more modern logos!) - I can see us all having lots of laughs playing this.

This game brings back memories of all the products shown on the cards. Some of them you know you have seen but just can not place the item's name. The instructions were not very clear and I hope we are playing it correct .GOOD GAME GOOD GAME!!!!!

As a game lover this game is great to play with friends and family. Once you've mastered the instructions, its great fun and the questions bring back memorys of yesteryear. Would recommend this for all board game lovers out there.
