a great light family game. just enough strategy to keep it interesting.
Arrived fast and in perfect condition
I like the large width of the bag so it can hold many games width wise.
(Also, what else will I do with 100 reward points?!)

Anomia: [uh-NO-mee-uh] - Noun - 1) A problem with word finding or recall. 2) Chaos. 3) The game where common knowledge becomes uncommonly fun!
Anomia plays off the fact that our minds are positively brimming with all sorts of random information; things to eat, pop songs, websites, etc... Sure, under normal circumstances, it's easy enough to give an example of a frozen food, or a dog breed; but you will find that your brain works a little differently under pressure!
The directions are simple. Draw a card from the center pile and flip it over. Does the symbol on your card match one on another player's card? If so, you must quickly face-off with the other player by giving an example of the person, place, or thing on their card before they can do the same for yours. If you blurt a correct answer out first, you win their card and drawing continues. Sounds simple, right? Wrong!
Wild cards allow unlike symbols to match, increasing the number of things you must pay attention to. Cascading face-offs can occur when you hand over a lost card revealing a new top card on your play pile. All this adds up to a high-energy, hilarious play experience where everyone is involved at all times.
Easy to learn, fun to play over and over again, Anomia will have any group of friends, family, even perfect strangers, shouting and laughing out loud as they try to beat each other to the punch!

Easy to learn and set up
This is a very engaging game that is perfect for the family. I highly recommend it but would purchase the party edition over this one because of the small number of cards. This game puts your brain to the test and I love to play it as a warmup for other games.
This game is great for all ages, and excels in any family gathering setting. Only complaint is that after two games you have seen every card and replayability becomes an issue.
