Catch Phrase By Jeanette Dusci on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Catch Phrase is the most fun, exciting game that I know of. It is a great game to play with family members and a really fun game to play at get togethers with adults. After a few beers it is hilarious. The game is very compact and portable. It is just a round electronic unit that has a display screen that gives you random words or phrases. The object of the game is to get your teammates to guess the word or phrase. The only rules are no saying "rhymes with", no telling the first letter and no saying any portion of the word or phrase while giving clues. The unit has a random timer that begins to beep faster as it's getting close to ending. Once your team guesses the word you pass the unit off to the other team and it's their turn. You don't want to get caught with the timer in your hands when the timer goes off or the other team scores. It also has a score kepper built in which is nice. I love this game and a good time is always had by all when we pull Catch Phrase out.

Fun game. Whatever happened to being able to play without batteries, though?
This sounds like fun - I can't believe I haven't played this game ever. I'll have to try it out.
This is a fun game! My friends and I have played it several times together. Of course we always have someone that tries to cheat :) It's so funny to see everyone's faces when the beeps speed up.
We like this game a lot too. You need a good sized group to make it really fun.
We have the original board game of this & I didn't realize they have the electronic version!! That would be so much fun!!!
We play this game at parties a lot. It is a good ice breaker to get people to start talking.
sounds like alot of fun, funny too. definately going to try this one. thanks for sharing.
