Which is better, the plastic/paper or electronic version of this game?

I have three different electronic versions of this game and they are all a little different. Some have more Current Questions and answers and some older. Depending on the age group you are playing with it makes it fun.

we love the Electronic version one. You can bring it anywhere and all ages young and old can use it.

The paper (card stock) wheel based game has a tendency to open, ejecting the double-sided word disc out on the floor, when the person you throw it to (at) misses it. It takes a few seconds to get them together again, and the person who does it as a hard time not seeing other words as they try to find the side/portion to put it back in the same position. What...your family doesn't throw the game to (at) each other across the room?

I only know the plastic one but with all the functions this game comes with I would definitely recommend the plastic one. The timer, the categories and words and phrases are all done with the simple push of a button and only the clue giver can see what is to hopefully be guessed. I cannot imagine the hassle with only a paper version.

No question about it. The European game is far richer and more nuanced (because of the varied geography). The US one is more monotone; get the European version.

It is a cardboard piece of junk. It broke on the first day we were playing the game. Even before it broke it didn't work as good as the old plastic ones did that came with the set we had years ago.

That and the less expensive version has a plastic slide/cover instead of a metal one. Other than that, they are pretty much the same.

You will not be able to use the plastic board, but you will need the settlers of Catan game to have all pieces needed to play Seafarers. But I would not let that keep me from getting Seafarers extension because it is fun as all expansion of the game are. Course I was hooked after playing the first time.

This is actually the edition from Hasbro Games. The original one in the red box is from Parker Brothers. Apparently the red box edition now has an electric timer rather than an hour glass, which is in this cheaper set. Truthfully, I don't think I have ever played Scattergories with anything but the hour glass.

Hi Tracey N. I took a look and I really don't know what the difference is. I wish I could tell you. I read both descriptions and they both match the game we have, so I am not sure. Perhaps you could try looking on the manufacturers web site for more information. I am sorry I cannot give you a better answer.

Ive played both versions and yes I definitely recommend buying the new one... Its a good addition to the old ones, plus a good updated list for the words they've kept which is good so young kids could relate to.

I bought it to play with a large crowd on stage at a Relay for Life event so I really enjoyed the game an it worked well for my purposes. As far as your question I think any edition is fine. I think that is up to you. The questions are varied.

they are your basic paper cards. but if you want plastic cards look for water proof playing cars. hope that helps.

This is the card game. There is a deluxe version tht has a book with it and a special tin. But I perfer using the scrabble dictionary.

Mine came in a paper demo sleeve too. I can't complain though. The game works & the price was good.

While I know there is at least one electronic app for this game, this version is a "board" game and can be played on a table or floor.

Hey, lopez. The game is the cartridge only thing you can do online wise is check out other player scores on a scoreboard.

The game is essentially the same. I believe the boxed version comes with a few additional cardboard pieces, but nothing that alters the play of the game.

Cardboard. Plastic miniatures sold separately. Also note though, if you use the plastic figurines, they are all male so it will make playing the game (with it's various gender specific and altering cards) a little more difficult. "Wait... wasn't I turned into a female a couple turns back? Oh man, guess I can't use this card I was relying on to win."

My assumption is yes, it's just cheep plastic and not all that good. If you are interested in learning/playing the ocarina and still want plastic, take a look at the ocarina listed here. http://www.stlocarina.com/ztenorpldis.html
