I can't decide between the party or family edition. We have four in our family...adults are 52, kids are 14 and 11. Does anybody have any suggestion

I am not familiar with the family edition. The party edition is great and interesting with questions pertaining to geography, history, science,etc. Only adults have been playing it and since it is mostly guessing the answers, the younger ones could be involved. However, the family edition might have easier questions that they would understand.

W&W Family is the best edition when playing with young kids. The questions make sense to a 5 year old, the game does not use poker chips (there is no gambling), and the rules are the most simple of all three editions. The original W&W is a little more complicated than the other editions. It incorporates the excitement of Vegas by including a felt mat that has different payout odds for each of the guesses. The questions in this edition are the most academic of the three options. It was designed as a party game for adults. None of the content is inappropriate for kids, but some of the questions are about things which they will not have heard of (like Michelangelo's David sculpture, Copernicus theory of the Earth revolving around the Sun, or Martin Luther King's I have a Dream speech). W&W Party is a combination of the other two editions. The rules are very simple (like the Family edition), but you are allowed to bet your poker chips on the last question. The questions are lighter than the original W&W (some of them are very silly), but they are not geared for kids. This edition was designed to play with all three generations over the holidays. It was designed to get people interacting and having fun as quickly as possible. This is the edition I would recommend for your family. You won't regret it! Cheers!

From what I've heard, you can play it all right with the older editions. I'm wondering if it works with more than 4 people though, that's what I'm worried about.

You can play with just two people. It is more fun with more people (we have played with as many as 7), but can still be fun with just two. I personally love this game. It is a challenge to be creative.

We have had up to a 13 year old girl run the course. I allow up to 4 kids at a time and haven't had any problems! This was a mixture of ages 4-12. Great house!

I believe it's because there are no off-color cards. It's appropriate for anyone to play. There are a few different versions, including one that's a little more "adult"...I've never actually seen that one or played it, so I can't speak about the content. Anyway, the family version is a lot of fun for any age group and its easy to learn. Also, even though the cards are "all-age appropriate", depending on the cards you choose to play it can still get a little raunchy...but it will go right over the kids heads. Hope this helps!

Yes. This game is always a blast at parties with the adults. Everyone I have taught it to wants to play again and again.

It totally is interest holding for all ages. My wife and I play almost every weekend with my 6 year old for about a year now. Any others that come over and play also love the game. I've played with people as young as 5 and as old as 65.

We've only played with 6 to 8 people. The more people, the better and funnier the game. I didn't even know there was a 12 player version. I don't think it would work as well with just 4 people.

What the other person said. It's a good party game because you can play with two people or twenty. It's also a short game, so people can come in and out of it easily. We play it a lot.

Several players can play and actually is more fun. My sister & my grandchildren played and loved it. There were 7 kids and 1 adult playing.

Teens and up. Some of the phrases may be difficult for or not make sense to smaller kids. I usually play with adults - it a lot of fun!

I took a look at the DV Giocci (the publisher) website and it has 8 and up. The listing is not correct. I will see if I can get that updated. Either game should be fine for families. The game is pretty easy and not graphically violent. Dave Boardgames4us

I think a small group could enjoy, but it's definitely "rollicking fun" with bigger groups. We loved it for family reunions! If the four of you are all on the same level of ability and knowledge base then it could still be fun. We enjoyed including children and giving them ideas of what to act out. If it's two adults and two younger kids, it could still be fun for each parent to work with a child, but it will be quite a different game than 5-6 per team jumping right in with crazy acting out. Does that help at all?

Hi,My kids love it but they are 11 and 8. I use it too.It may be a little difficult for a five year old and may frustrate them. I would wait. Try the ez glider. I have that too and is super easy and fun.

The game is stated to be for 10 and up. It can certainly get inappropriate if the crowd itself is inappropriate. All the answers come from everyone's own opinions and usually the topic is fairly wide, for example "What is the worst gift to receive?" Of course any game that has open ended answers can be a bit tricky, but I have played with me 11 year old brother-in-law and he has had no issues with it, unless someone wrote something down he didn't understand.

I would go with the 8 person. This one might be kinda tight with 6 12 year olds.
