Looking for a fun family game? Double Ditto is our top choice of this month!
Double Ditto is a lightly competitive party game that challenges participants to quickly come up with answers to simple subjects. For example, cards may say, “Commands You Teach Your Dog,” “Things Kids are Scared Of,” or “Ways to Get Rich Quick. Introduced last fall, this easy-to-learn game encourages social interaction and creativity with the goal of showcasing both commonalities and differences in people’s thought process.
This one is a great one for the slightly older kids and their parents! I would suggest 9+. Although I think that some eight-year-olds would be able to play if they have pretty strong reading and writing skills. Our family had so much fun with this one! It’s competitive but not overly competitive and I love how interactive it is!
The game comes with 400 category cards, a 15-second timer, score sheets and an instruction card. The Ditto Master reads one of the Double Ditto game cards to the group, and the players have a set amount to time to write down two corresponding responses. Once the allotted time has passed, each player takes a turn reading their answers out loud. The objective is to match the answers given by other players. With each match, the player scores a “ditto!” If the player matches both answers, they score a “double ditto!” The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
The game can be as creative, funny or simple as you want making Double Ditto a great icebreaker for your family gatherings, corporate events and parties. The setup is easy, the rules are straightforward and the fun is endless. This party game can be played by large groups, and by sorting out the cards by theme (ie. birthday, work, family), you can customize the game based on the event where it’s being played.
With 400 different cards to choose from, Double Ditto offers a new source of entertainment every time you play. Get your set of Double Ditto online at Amazon.com for just $19.95.
