    Customer Reviews

    I'm glad I only paid 8.50 for this game.This game is convoluted. The object is to correctly answer true/false questions, and be the only one that does it that is standing on a square that matches the category of the card that is being read, so that you can get the card and hopefully spell either TRUE or MYTH and win the game. If there's a tie, you get to read another card. My friends and I played it tonight and about 20-30 minutes into the game, we quit. The game does still have value. Some of the facts or myths it gives you are interesting, but lack much real substance or sources. Ditch the board and if you must have some kind of contest with it, it would probably work well as a drinking game. 1Uh...it's ALL Myth.We couldn't believe a lot of the answers given on the cards, so we're pretty sure that whoever wrote the cards just made up crap and claimed it as "fact". Try it yourself: Take one of these truth or myth cards, find out whether the game lists it as true, then search the internet. (In fact, type in google "Urban Myth Game Snopes") Most likely, the cards are wrong. I would've preferred the cards to give an explanation for their reasoning on why this or that was fact or fiction, and what the game's sources were. 1This game translates perfectly into a study session for college groupsThis game translates perfectly into a study session for college groups. Have everyone replace the regular questions with questions from your school subject and it brings a nice twist to just running through flashcards together. 5From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.comUrban Myth is something like Trivial Pursuit, where the trivia falls into six different categories and you must be on the correct category to win something after answering the question. However, instead of open-ended questions, these are true or false trivia questions.Sounds simple, you say? Think again! Some of these are really very tricky, and they're written in such a manner that it's nearly impossible to guess if something REALLY happened or if it didn't.The object of the game is actually to collect the question cards themselves, which have letters on the back. Be the first one to spell out "TRUE" or "MYTH" with your cards, and you win.I liked this game, I think it's a really fun twist on trivia games. The true-false aspect does level out the playing field a little bit (everyone's got a 50/50 shot at each answer). We found that the game moved quite quickly, so we managed to fit a couple of rounds into the allotted space for game-playing. 4The game board is a useless tool that does nothing to further the fun of ...Got this game as a gift. We opened it and spent almost 30 minutes shuffling the 700 cards. The game board is a useless tool that does nothing to further the fun of the game. The card clues are pop-culture that will become obsecure references in a year. Multiple clue card had an explanation that were literally word for word the same as the clue. No more information was given and was very disappointing. These clue cards would serve best next to a toilet to leaf through. 1the fun it's just not there...Not as funny as advertised :( I have an entire collection of boardgames and i don't compare but the rules are very complex and the fun it's just not there... 2Five StarsLove this game. 5Fun, but kinda pointlessWe picked this game up recently, since it sounded like a lot of fun. I love reading about urban myths, so I thought this would be a blast.It's fun, but...I dunno, I need something that raises the bar a bit.You travel around some squares and someone reads you what could or could not be an urban myth. Then everyone votes on whether or not they think it's true. The answer true or myth is revealed, and everyone moves, or doesn't move if they've gotten it wrong, and play continues.We recently bought a pile of board games, including Cranium, Scene It, Trivial Pursuit (can't remember which edition, but it's in a gold box), and Urban Myth, and Urban Myth is the one we've played least. Not that it isn't fun and interesting, it just isn't AS fun and interesting as others. 3Missed opportunity... poor execution.I originally bought Urban Myth over the holidays, struck by what a promising concept for a game it promised to be. How wrong I was.For starters the box is deceiving; the age recommendation is 12 and over which couldn't be further for the truth. This is definitely not a family game. The box, with the cutesy picture and tame questions posed on the back are misleading to say the least. At least 85% of the questions on our first go were fairly high in the morbidity/death factor (including one wince-inducing question about whether or not infant carcasses had been used as mob drug cartel. Mercifully, it was a myth.)I'm no prude, and would have had no problem with the topics had the game not made promises that the whole family could play. From now on I'll certainly investigate the content before inviting the kids to come join us.And, err- how can I put this? The shape of the game pieces are... interesting. Of course, I noticed this right away but just chalked it up to my dirty, dirty mind. But as soon as the kids left the room for a moment, the somewhat conservative mother leaned into me and whispered "Is it just me, or do those game pieces look like male _________?" Okay, I'm more or less just kidding with that last observation. Still, this game gets a big thumbs down in the family friendly department.That aside, I'm afraid I cannot recommend the game adult players as well. Urban Myth also fails as a board game... as far as we could ascertain the board only served one particular purpose and a fairly feeble one at that. (The goal is actually collecting enough letter cards to either spell 'truth' or 'myth'.) Otherwise, you just mindlessly navigate the board until someone collects enough cards based solely on the questions. The board is almost entirely useless.Finally, the game's worst crime is the missed educational opportunity. When you play Trivial Pursuit and get a true or false question, the will give you the correct answer AND some additional information with said answer on the back of the card. This game only dryly indicates the tale as 'truth' or 'myth' WITHOUT any further information, like WHY it's a myth or why it's a truth or how it all got started as an urban legend to begin with.If there are no facts to back up either claim, then why should we to believe the answers? I know there is only so much space on the back of a game card, but SOME information would have been nice.What a waste. Hopefully someone out there will take this great idea and turn it into the great game I know it could be. Common boardgame idea guys! Do better. Try harder. 1Board gameGreat fun for the family 5
