HedBanz Review

HedBanz is a hilariously fun family game.

My kids had already heard about HedBanz game and so when I told them that we were being sent it for review, they were super excited.

The game is a self guided question game. Everyone wears one of the included 'hedbanz', where each player places a card to be displayed to fellow players, positioned on their respective hedbanz. Everyone can see your card, except you. Each card has an illustration in addition to the description of what it is.

There are sample questions cards included, which Jacob used, but I find it easier not to use those - but it is nice they are included.

Each player starts the game with three playing chips, if you guess your card correctly before the timer runs out you get to give up a playing chip and continue with a new card until the timer runs out. The first player to get rid of all three chips wins the game!

If you can't guess you card correctly before the timer runs out, you move on to the next player - but when it's your turn again, you continue with the card that you didn't guess previously, until you guess it correctly.

Hedbanz is a great way to encourage children to use their thought processing and remember what questions they’ve asked. It encourages them to be creative in the questions that they ask in order to find out what is on their card. 

This is a great fun family game.
