Mad Gab Game
Thanks so much for the Family Feud power-point! Used it yesterday day for our Fifth and Six graders class at Church…just donated and please keep developing things. I love your resources and will be back for more!
CAN’T DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I AM TO HAVE FOUND YOU. I DOWNLOADED YOUR FAMILY FEUD GAME AND AFTER SEEING HOW GREAT IT WAS I CAME BACK TO DONATE. I WILL BE USING THIS A LOT, IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS.
I downloaded your Family Feud and it was amazing! I didn’t know what to expect so after I reviewed it, I went back to your site and donated. You’re very talented!
I downloaded your Jeopardy game and just love it. I have a family reunion coming up and I modified it for that. I will play it on a big screen TV. I am doing the trail run this weekend on the big screen. If all goes well I would love to donate some money for all the time someone put into the software. Thank you for offering the template.
I just downloaded MADGAB. I am LOVE your games. I have been trying to make these myself with not much luck so grateful found yours. Anyway, where do I find the blank one to make my own?
Thanks,
TammyI just downloaded a couple of your games. They are beautiful. If they work as well as they look, you are a genius.
I thank you, but, more importantly, my students thank you!!M
Mad Gab game review – Mad Gab by Mattel is a game that can be played with 2 to 12 players, and for anyone ages 10+. It’s a simple game that takes mere minutes to learn.
Hilarious fun for two or more players, Mad Gab is the perfect game to share with family and friends! See if You Can Solve These! Give this clue a try: “Dew Wino Hue”. Repeat the words.
Bring home the Mad Gab Game for unlimited fun, laughter and play time with family and friends. It is basically a card game where players, divided into teams scramble to decipher cluster of unrelated words into some meaningful phrases, all within a stipulated time. This Mad Gab card game tests your eyes and your ears. Mad Gab Mania, a DVD version; Mad Gab Card Game; Bible Mad Gab; If you like Mad Gab, you may also like: Balderdash; Apples to Apples; Catch Phrase; Taboo; Whichever version you decide to use, Mad Gab is a great way to include a game night in your week, keep a party going, or spend an evening with friends.
The theme of Mad Gab is “It’s not what you say, it’s what you hear.” The main point of the game is to be able to decipher what someone is saying when it is re-written with different wording but similar sounds. For example, if you say “Anger Say Weigh” over and over again out loud, you will hopefully be able to decipher the true phase by realizing what you’re actually saying (and what they’re looking for on that game card) is “Anchors Away.”
Teams are put together to battle the game cards of unrelated words into real phrases before the timer runs out. The game comes with a timer to monitor each team’s time, as well as 150 game cards to be deciphered.
I played Mad Gab with my kids and it was entertaining and funny. It’s easy to laugh at yourself when there are funny words that you can’t attribute to a specific, more sensible phrase. And, it’s even more fun when you say the unrelated words out loud until you find yourself saying the actual phrase. We even put a twist on the game when there were only three of us playing… one person acted as the “coach” that reads the unrelated words and the two remaining players race to see who can decipher the phrase first. If we played according to the rules with only three players, it wasn’t as fun as it would probably be with a larger group.
Some of the Mad Gab game cards are difficult, so younger kids can get easily frustrated, especially if they have never heard the phrase before which makes it even more difficult to decipher when you don’t have the familiarty behind the puzzle.
