You’ve Been Sentenced! is a wounderful game that puts all my favorite things together. Family, fun, and learning. I just love seeing my daughters eyes light up as she looks at these word cards trying to make a clever and funny sentence. My son, daughter and I all laughing together as we reading the sentences. Something for tween, teen and Adults this game has it all. When we play the game sometimes my daughter asks what a word mean the next time we play. she does not ask she remembered. After I get little A to bed My tween has been asking to play this game every night. We love You've been Sentenced.
What is You’ve Been Sentenced!
Each player uses his or her hand of 10 cards to build a grammatically correct sentence, racing the other players while also trying to score the most points per round.
The latest in the evolution of games, “You've been Sentenced!” is the first game in history to really turn making sentences into a very funny, playable, and challenging game. Using a unique word deck of pentagon shaped cards containing conjugations of funny words, famous names from throughout history, familiar places, and wild cards, players have to make grammatically correct and justifiable sentences. The real fun begins when players have to read their sentences out loud and explain what they mean to the rest of players. They form the jury and vote thumbs up or down on whether the sentence and justification stand and the points are scored. 540 cards with over 2,500 words insure billions of possible sentences so the game is never repetitive and has unlimited re-play value.
You've been Sentenced! has several add on decks.Gourmet Cuisine Add on Deck, Pop Culture, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and more.
I admit sometime I get tired of playing the same old board games. This game will not get old. There is so many cards and expansion packs you will probably never see the same sentence twice. I cant wait to have our adult friends over we are going to have so much fun playing this, I can't wait.
You've been Sentenced! has been busy they have a upcoming TV game show and are working with ASU on the online and interactive whiteboard version of You've been Sentenced! for the classroom.
A portion of each retail sale of You’ve been Sentenced! goes to fight illiteracy in the USA through the not-for-profit organization Success Won’t Wait, Inc.
