Think quick and pass it on – it’s Catch Phrase

Catch Phrase is a great party game for both friends and family. There are many “guess the word” party games, but Catch Phrase is the one that tops our list.

It’s probably our favorite word party game because of the fast-paced action in quickly guessing and passing on to the next team before the timer stops. And it’s the timer that gets players talking frantically and gets them flustered because it starts beeping faster and faster as time goes on.

What a fun card game!

We really like this version of Risk for a few reasons:

Bedtime round of Catch Phrase

Have you ever played a party game just before bedtime? That’s what we ended up doing last night. Caleb was anxious to play Catch Phrase most of the afternoon yesterday. But with company coming over for dinner we had to just keep putting him off. So after the guests left we finally sat down to play.
