Top It Board Game

£30.00

When all the family is around at Christmas, you’re often wanting to play a fun game that gets everyone involved, and Cheatwell’s Top It is the fast-thinking family game that will have everyone doing just that. Top It is a super fun but chaotic game which links topics and letters together, in the hope of reaching 50 points before the other players.

Included in the box are 70 topic cards, 60 cones in 6 different team colours, 18 letter discs, a 60-second sand time, a scoring pad, a pencil, and the rules of the game. The game is simple; a topic card is revealed along with 9 letter cards, and all you have to do is find something related to that topic which begins with one of the 9 letters in front of you. When you think of something, you shout it out and then place a cone on that letter. For example, if you are given ‘Pizza Toppings’ as a topic and there is an ‘M’ amongst the letters one player could shout out ‘Mozzarella’ and place their cone on the letter. However, the cones can be stacked, so if a player then shouts ‘Mushroom’ they can place a cone of their colour on top, and it is only the final colour cone on top which wins the point!

I played this with some friends on our weekly board game night and it was very fun – and super competitive! The chaos of everyone shouting words and slamming down cones to beat each other before the timer ran out was hilarious. Our game did cause a few entertaining debates concerning whether answers were correct, but after some hilarious discussions to justify choices, we had a great time.

The game’s concept is simple and easy to follow making it a great choice for all the family. Top It is a perfect choice for family gatherings as you can compete as 6 different teams. Therefore, this would make a great addition to any board game lover in your life, but I also think gifting this as a joint/family present this festive season is a great idea to get everyone playing.

Pros:

- Easy to follow and get the hang of

- Large range of topic cards

- Accessible game for all the family
