Summary: "fun, but limited number of memory lists!"

I love this game. I played it with my family, and we had a lot of fun. It is generally easy to play, doesn't take that long (an hour or less), isn't that hard, and is suitable for all ages. I think adults would enjoy it more than kids though.

My main complaint is that to move, you have to memorize a lists of 2-5 things. Each list comes from 2 small booklets. Unfortunately after you finish all the lists in the booklet, you're screwed (sort of). There are enough lists in these booklets, and although from game to game you may forget the specific content of this list, if you play often enough it could become an issue. My guess is that after 5-10 times of playing it, you will have gone through all the lists and will have to start over. This doesn't seriously interfere with gameplay if you don't play it too often though.

Summary: "Great game idea!"

Bought this for my parents for Christmas. Since they have everything I thought this would be different. Unfortunately, I think they forgot I bought it for them!!!

Summary: "Senior Moments is Wonderful!"

I have had this game for quite some time. Over the past few years, my husband has been gradually slipping more and more into the disease of dementia. A couple of months ago, we started having Home Health care workers come in. Onc of them is a speech therapist, whose task it was to help him improve his ways to remember things. I brought out my "Senior Moments" game that I had had for some time. She liked it so much, I ordered one for her to use with other patients that she has. The game I have has been quite helpful in bolstering up his ways to remember what he needs to.

Summary: "Senior Moments Board Game Review"

My husband and I received this as a gift for Christmas from our teenage son. He had good intentions, and we had a good laugh when we received it, but when we actually played the game with some friends, we expected a little more of a challenge. A very senior person might find it a bit of a challenge, trying to memorize three out of five facts per question, but they might be better off playing Trivial Pursuit or chess.

Summary: "Lots of laughs!"

This is a board game that even kept my teenagers cracking up! It involves some strategy, but mostly memory skills and the ability to laugh at yourself.
