Runaway Parade Games Smug Owls Card Game - an Award-Winning Hilarious & Creative Riddle-Solving Party Game for Kids and Adults | Fun for The Whole Family | 8+ | 15-20 min | 3-15 Players

We played with 8 adults, and everyone enjoyed it. Fun and creative!Well-designed with easy instructions.

This turned out to be a fun game (I guess because I was the winner). It is more complicated than you think, as each hand is played differently.

Great game, brings out cleverness and a lot of aha moments (and a lot of laughs with the right group). Love the simple scoring rule where you can give a favorite answer more than 1 point. More accessible than Why Did the Chicken (another favorite of ours). Both these games are in that "games with a judge" category, that Apples to Apples popularized, but they encourage a lot more creativity.

I needed some games for a group getaway we were planning for about a dozen people. We don't really play CaH type games since some of the group were a bit more serious than others. Smug Owls actually had us ALL laughing!The game is easy to pick up and quick to play as well. Each round starts with a "What" card and ends with a "Question Mark" card. It's the three random cards that make up the question that everyone is going to answer. The questions almost NEVER make sense, which is what made us laugh over and over. How do you answer the question "What rolls, twists and makes plans?"? My answer (that got me a glare) was "My wife when she's sleeping!". She still laughed (thankfully). Some of the answers we got were off the wall, some were plain hysterical, but they were all fun. The last player to think of an answer becomes the Smug Owl and judges which of the other players answers best matches the question. The person with the most cards after eight rounds is the winner.There were a few negatives about the game. The first is that, if one player isn't witty and also quick, they may end up being the Owl over and over. That person isn't going to have a good time. While we played with our teenage kids, I think this game might be a bit too much for younger kids. I'm sure, with some rule customization it would work though.I think this is a great party game, or even a filler game for larger groups between heavier games. At $22, it's a great value for a game that will constantly be different each time you play but always give plenty of laughs.

Fun game! Easy to learn, great for groups, and unique. It’s quite compact so easy to store or bring along for a trip.

The game comes with rules for several variations, including one where you don't keep score. We love playing cooperatively, just for the fun of it, and this game is perfect for that. We had so much fun coming up with answers to all the riddles, that we went thru the whole deck and never got tired of it! Shuffle the cards, and you'll get completely different riddles! We look forward to the next time we play. This is now one of our favorite games! Highly recommended.

Quick to learn, this is fun for 2 players or a small group.

We were introduced to this game by family and had a lark playing it. It calls on the players to be inventive and funny. We subsequently bought a copy for ourselves and played it with friends. It was just as much fun the second time around. If there is any downside is that the scoring is left up to someone who is designated "the smug owl," so that can lead to some prejudicial scores. As long as you can laugh at that, and most people can, you'll be fine and have a fun evening.
