VENNS WITH BENEFITS – Fun Board Game About Venn Diagrams for 3+ Players

This is not a game for young children, as many of the cards have very adult content. With that said, it is a hilariously fun game. If you are good at improv this is the game for you. If you are not good at improv this is still the game for you. I have played this game with family and friends and laughed so hard that I cried. Yep, it's that good.

Jesus Christ. Have you ever tried to find similarities with your friends mom and nipples? Well look no further! A fun game to play with friends that has become one of our new favorite group games. Not for kids!!! Maybe not something to play with your grandparents (unless they're cool)

This immediately became my favorite game! It’s perfect for anyone with a good (but mildly off-color) sense of humor and a group of witty friends. It’s a lot like its sister game, Puns of Anarchy, but the creative boundaries are looser — puns are welcome in this game but not required — so there’s less pressure. Many reviewers have noted it’s not kid-appropriate. They’re not wrong. But I have enjoyed playing with my middle-grade child; we just remove a few racy cards and occasionally re-deal if a set of cards is too mature in one way or another.

This game has the potential to be very fun if you have the right group of people. Since you are relying on people to come up with humorous responses, some people are going to struggle more than they would with a game like Cards Against Humanity that has pre-written responses. The game works by laying out the Venn diagrams in front of each person who will be judging it. Then, people write their answers for all the judges/Venns at the same time. This saves a lot of time because you can keep writing answers for ones you know if you have to skip over some and come back later. No one is stuck waiting on one slow person, and no one feels left out. We found that putting out 2 or 3 Venns at a time was plenty when playing with 6 people. Trying to do more than that was just chaos and made the judging take too long. People lose focus listening to 6 people reading answers in a row. We also modified the rules to let the judges have a choice of a few cards to set up their Venn. Just doing direct draws sometimes led to boring options, but choosing out of like 5 meant there were high odds of something humorous being available.

We thought the original setup was kind of confusing. We didn’t understand why everyone needed their own board so we made our own rules. We just put one board in the center and then had everyone vote whose answers were the funniest. Even though I was playing with people old enough to play (18, 16, 14) there were some awkward moments because they’re still my children and I’m still their mom. We have a very open and forward thinking family and nothing is really taboo between us even if it’s uncomfortable. Everyone was a good sport though even when someone else got real weird with their answers 😅 It did allow us all to laugh through some of the awkward moments where I realized just how close to adulthood they are and allowed them to remember their mom is a whole human not just a mom Overall this is a good game for adult game nights, or with your older teens as long as you’re not a prude or have unrealistic expectations about what activities your teens take part in. We definitely won’t be playing with Nana or when their grandma and grandpa visit. Pretty sure we would all either get sent to our rooms or die from embarrassment. Would be a fun gift to bring for the host of any gathering (again as long as they’re not prudes)

This game is such a fun one for family or friends. The changing topics make it very playable over and over. We have had some massive laughs playing this and it is very easy to get new players up to speed. Highly recommend

I actually ended up going out to buy more dry-erase pens so that I could do the game with a larger group. In this case we just use one board and pass it from person to person around the circle. On New Year's Eve we played with about 12 people. The one holding the Venn diagram picks the cards and chooses their favorite from those who put in guesses. We ended up saying only one guess per person to keep the game moving with that many people. I've also played a few times with the prescribed 6, and it played fine. There is one card that references race (Suburban white people) and I ended up pulling that card from the game, as the first time it came up it felt really awkward in our racially mixed group of new acquaintances... it just seemed out of place. But the game is fun. It takes a few rounds for folks to grasp the concept. People kept wanting to use the two words/phrases in a sentence, and nope! It is what do they have in common?

Fun idea, but it's only come off the shelf once in the past 6 months. It's not a family favorite or go-to, but it made for a fun night

I purchased this game after hearing about it through Kickstarter. It’s a lot of fun! The only suggestion I would have, is instead of everyone playing their boards each round, to do it more in a “cards against humanity“ style where it’s just one person reading per round. It also makes for less awkward silences. But all in all, it’s a great game!

Fun game, I can see this getting old, but it's definately fun while it's new. It's cards against humanity meets family feud. You will need to come up with some of your own rules to get some card combinations unstuck.

Fun game, really needs you to think.

Lots of laughs, fun with the right crowd of people! Need to have a sense of humour
