If you are one of the first players to play your disc, you get rid of the disc while the slowest player has to take all of the played discs. The kids in the front look extremely nervous like playing the correct disc is a life or death proposition.

All of which span a variety of genres and generations meaning that grandma can nail the elvis presley round while you take care of the ed sheeran round. There will regularly be two or more players trying to place a disc in the same space at the same time. With only 2 of us in the house who’ll play them, we can sometimes be limited by those suitable for 2 players. The game suggests playing as two teams of two but can be just as easily played without the scoring board and team rules - just challenge each other and see who knows the most.

It’s a case of shout them out, while the person asking the question keeps score using the peg scorers. Admittedly, there’s nothing I can criticize about this game either, and simply put, this really is a perfect example of a quiz board game. Some of ours were quite straight topics, but one of mine was ‘types of bed’ – and it wasn’t just furniture beds included. I would like to use this resource to improve my students' vocab when creating suspense in narratives, however, I'm unable to download it.We loved the little scoring holder – although for children keeping track of answers, it can be hard for younger children to listen, read and score while answers are being shouted out. Needless to say, this has quickly become a family favourite in our house, and as soon as there’s a quiet moment Tension is on the table and the bliss silence is replaced by frantic shouting. Designers have found ways to improve on everything that Tension has to offer where I don’t know if it really pays to play what is now an inferior speed game. I tested N on some of the questions afterwards, and he enjoyed it, so I bought the family version of the game for him for his birthday. This great word mat features a variety of vocabulary that could help to create tension, suspense, and mystery.

Two of us took the roles of players while the other became the quiz master and tried to keep up with the flurry of answers. If you get that number you get to move forward, if you don’t reach that target figure, you have to go backwards. Covering topics like foods, brands, clothing, inventors, films and sports, there’s a great breadth of topic to ponder over.Since the game relies entirely on speed, the player(s) that are best at speed games are always going to win.

I could see children younger than six being able to play the game but I don’t know if they would be very good at it. I think I’d be happy just reading through all the cards, but turning lists into a board game is a lot of fun. A Question Mark means you have to predict a number (after hearing the title of the round) and score exactly that in the round or don’t move at all. When we first played Tension, there were only three of us available but we didn’t let that stop us from getting a couple of games in.Landing on a swirly mark moves you forward a number of spaces equal to the spaces you moved to land on it. But with 400 unique topics in the base game, you’ll be working your way through them for quite a while.
