In a Pickle Card Game Review

September 23rd, 2009

Wow, I love In a Pickle! the game play is very simple, but very fun. I’ve played with 4 people and with 4 couples and it was a great time both ways. I thought that couples was a little bit more fun simply because it allows for more people (more fun) and it’s great to see how the couple work together or don’t work together.

What’s great about this game is seeing how everybody’s mind works. When your playing as couples it’s fun to see how couples may think alike or very differently. Inevitably there’s going to be a disagreement, and that can be the funnest part of the game. Seeing people argue their points and others their counterparts is just a good time.

One thing thing that I haven’t explored yet is playing this with my kids. My boy (Kai) is about 4 1/2 years old and it would be interesting to play as a team with him. Not only would he learn some good creative thinking skills, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he saw things in ways that I would never have thought about it.

Overall, I love this game. I think it’s a great game for anyone to play as a family, as couple or as a group. It’s a fantastic party game because it allows for a lot of interaction and communication. It’s a fun way to spend an evening with friends because even if you’ve known them for a long time your almost certain to understand them and how they think in a new way.

In a Pickle is a riotously fun game to play with all your friends and family. All you have to do to win is try to be creative and fit items into other items (theoretically). You and your friends each have cards with different items on them from “flood” to “virus.” All you have to do is continue to fit your items into other items that have already been played. Be creative, but don’t get caught with something that simply doesn’t make sense because your friends can challenge your play and overturn your logic.

In a Pickle is a great game to play if you want a game that will allow for easy play, but provide a lot of funny and interesting conversation. This game makes you think, but doesn’t wear you out. It can be funny, insightful and down-right thought provoking.
