Editorial Review
That iMAgiNiff was developed by two brothers (in Australia) makes perfect sense, because this is a board game you'll want to share with family and friends. It's simple to play. A set of names is chosen, usually the name of every player plus those of several absent friends. When it's your turn, one name is selected as the subject of the question. You pick a card--one of hundreds--that poses a question and six possible answers (for example, "Imaginiff _____ were a crime. Which would he/she be?"). Read the question aloud, plugging in the subject's name. Then read out the six answers (in this case, they range from "homicide" to "indecent exposure"). Each player picks an answer to fit the subject; those who have picked the most popular answer move forward. But though you win by advancing, winning is obviously not the point: laughter and arguments are. The questions on the cards range from the ridiculous ("Imaginiff _____ were a body part.") to the provocative ("Imaginiff _____ had to decide which of the following values is most important."). The game is a fun cross between Scruples and True Colors. --Elisa Murray
How well do you really know your family and friends? Imaginiff's questions ask what players think they know about each other, such as where a certain player would most like to go on a first date. The most popular answer becomes the winning one! This edition of Imaginiff contains all-new questions to maximize the fun. Buffalo Games. Ages: 12+

Consumer Evaluations

We picked up this game at our neighborhood toy retailer, preparing to play it with the children (middle-school age) when we have household night. iMAgiNiff has proved a bigger hit with adults than kids--even though the children beg to play it as well.
Players write their name on segments about the game board. If fewer than eight individuals play, they add the names of folks they all know--or a public figure or character with whom they are familiar. With every single turn, a player rolls the dice and moves left or proper along the name segments. The name that player lands on becomes the subject of the next "envision if" question. Scoring depends on how a large number of players choose the exact same response. Those who win a point for their response get to progress a space toward the final purpose. Beneath specified circumstances, a player can try to get an extra point by attempting to match just 1 other player's response. This twist delivers an fascinating chance to uncover out whether you and your spouse/finest buddy/youngster/and so on. honestly think alike.
A big component of the fun is obtaining a likelihood to playfully choose on fellow players by voting on what you think they would do in specified situations or what phrase perfect describes them. Some of the possibilities are dead on and certainly hilarious!
Discovering how pals and household see you typically demands a really good sense of humor. For instance, when my name came up, the question was, "Think about if a medical doctor told XXX that she required more workout, what would she do?" My answer: yoga. Preferred answer: Get a second opinion! How embarassing to be so accurately pegged!
As yet another reviewer mentioned, some prospective responses can involve innuendo. (No queries are overtly dirty--just the minds playing the game.) Even when you try to retain a specified sense of decorum, oftentimes it's just impossible. When, a friend who really openly complains that her husband is not sufficiently attentive in the bedroom was the topic of a question. The question was "Envision if XXX was a song, what song would she be?" The second decision was "I Can't Get No Satisfaction." Who knows what the other solutions were--we had been doubled more than laughing. I am not confident how a lot of of the kid players understood why we believed this was so funny, but the vote was unanimous.
Speaking of ages, the youngest player that I think we have effectively involved was 10 years old. Younger players can know some queries, such as "Think about if XXX had been a vehicle, what would he be? A sports car. A pickup. A Bug. etc." But references to films, songs, history and other cultural events would be more than younger players' heads.

Actually fun game! Took only minutes for me and my pals to discover (HATE reading long, complex directions). Believed it was honestly neat that we could incorporate names of folks who weren't even there. The very best component is that there are no appropriate or incorrect answers...the most trendy opinion is what counts. We had some quite funny arguments about what household appliance consumers thought I was, or what fruit my husband was. It was entertaining to hear the causes why individuals pick what they did -- you essentially find out a small about your good friends and about what your close friends think of you (in a Entertaining way)! Two thumbs up!
