If you like to play games, this electronic version is the best game investment you'll ever make.  I'll skip the instructions as those can be found anywhere online.

This game is so easy.  Whenever I'm going to visit friends or family, I almost always throw this in my back pack.  It's so easy to pull out and get the laughs started.  There's no set up or clean up.  Sometimes, certain games are avoided because no one wants to pull out all the pieces and set it up.  Or maybe the shindig is just too crowded and there not enough space on any table to pull out Pictionary.  Catch Phrase is perfect because you hardly need any room and you don't need a table (though it's nice to hold your snacks).

More pople will play this game, too, because there is no fear of commitment... if you pull out Monopoly or Baulderdash, those can last a while and people don't necessarily want to commit for an hour or more.  With Catch Phrase, anyone can drop out and the game keeps going... plus, anyone can join in at any time.  And if everyone gets tire of playing, the small, hand-held game is simply tossed back in the back pack!

Almost every household in my family has one so they can take it on any roadtrip.  There are some new variations out there on the market such as an all music version that we are anxious to try out.
