Product Description
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 MurrayiMAgiNiff Game Review
We picked up this game at our local toy store, planning to play it with the kids (middle-school age) when we have family night. iMAgiNiff has proved a bigger hit with adults than kids--although the kids beg to play it too. Players write their name on segments around the game board. If fewer than eight people play, they add the names of people they all know--or a public figure or character with whom they are familiar. With each turn, a player rolls the dice and moves left or right along the name segments. The name that player lands on becomes the subject of the next "imagine if" question. Scoring depends on how many players choose the same response. Those who win a point for their response get to progress a space toward the final goal. Under certain circumstances, a player can attempt to get an extra point by attempting to match just one other player's response. This twist provides an interesting opportunity to find out whether you and your spouse/best friend/child/etc. really think alike. A big part of the fun is getting a chance to playfully pick on fellow players by voting on what you think they would do in certain situations or what phrase best describes them. Some of the options are dead on and truly hilarious! Discovering how friends and family see you sometimes requires a good sense of humor. For instance, when my name came up, the question was, "Imagine if a doctor told XXX that she needed more exercise, what would she do?" My answer: yoga. Favorite answer: Get a second opinion! How embarassing to be so accurately pegged!As another reviewer mentioned, some potential responses can involve innuendo. (No questions are overtly dirty--just the minds playing the game.) Even when you try to maintain a certain sense of decorum, sometimes it's just impossible. Once, a friend who very openly complains that her husband is not sufficiently attentive in the bedroom was the subject of a question. The question was "Imagine if XXX was a song, what song would she be?" The second choice was "I Can't Get No Satisfaction." Who knows what the other options were--we were doubled over laughing. I'm not sure how many of the kid players understood why we thought this was so funny, but the vote was unanimous.Speaking of ages, the youngest player that I think we have successfully involved was 10 years old. Younger players can understand some questions, such as "Imagine if XXX were a vehicle, what would he be? A sports car. A pickup. A Bug. etc." But references to movies, songs, history and other cultural events would be over younger players' heads.
