    So much fun!

    This game is such a great game to play over the summer to keep up with learning but making it fun. This word game was a bit confusing at first but after one round we were hooked. Can't wait to play with friends and family.

    Super silly fun

    We had such a blast playing less is more. As a family we really enjoy playing board games and this was no exception. In each round your have a guesser and the rest of the players are clue givers. Your write the clues down on a whiteboard type tablet with a dry erase marker. I loved this option because my 9 year old was able to correct her spelling and even adjust her clue. The words were simple enough for the whole family to guess and we were able to help our 6 year old join in on the fun with some help. We all had a great time working to guess the word with the clues. We played several rounds and would have kept going if we could! Lots of fun. Definitely a great option for older kids and It sparked some great imagination in creating clues. Again, my 6 year old was able to join in with some adjusting and help from mom but it worked!

    Great Game!

    I was so excited to be chosen to review this toy with my niece! I tried to play this game with my sister and my niece who is 8. It was way too difficult for her so we just changed it to drawing a picture of the word.

    I did end up playing the game as it should be played with adults and it was great! I like how they have a QR code for access to the digital timer. I have never seen that done before and we all agreed that it was a nice feature. The game was a really fun challenge. We also like how we each had our own little board and erasable marker. I would absolutely recommend to Adults and Teens!

    Fun Game

    We received the game Less is More to try out thanks to Butterly & #FamilyRatedClub.
    I'm not sure if it was just us but we were a little confused with the instructions and the QR code that was supposed to take you to the timer didn't work. We interpreted the instructions the best we could since Spin Master didn't have an instructional video for this game online yet and used a timer from youtube. We are a family of 3 which is the minimum you need to play this game. It would probably be even more fun with the max of 6 players. Our daughter is 10 and this kept her attention and she has been asking to play it again, we've promised her we will the next time it rains. It is summer afterall.
    I would purchase this game as a gift for her friends, or cousins. Overall it's a fun game and it doesn't take too long to play so you could do multiple rounds and not get bored.

    Neat concept, complicated scoring

    This game is fun! It’s a neat concept and definitely requires some creative thinking. Coming up with clues and trying to guess them can be downright tricky! I love the whiteboards - gone are the days of pencils and scrap paper, or so I thought.

    The biggest downside of this game is the scoring. I had to read the instructions multiple times and it made my brain hurt. There’s no way we’d be able to score this without a pencil and paper, and that takes away from the game. The QR code should be to a virtual scoreboard instead of a timer! We’ll honestly probably make up a simpler scoring method.

    Fun For All

    Our family loves board games …and we are Not competitive at all (insert sarcastic laugh). So when @familyrated @spinmastergames sent over “Less is More” to try, our competitiveness did not come out 🤣. The object of the game is to have a player guess the “secret word” by giving them clues with as few letters as possible. Clearly mom and dad were no match for our twins who definitely had their twin connection advantage. They were able to guess the secret word with each other’s clue quick and easily while we struggled. But it was hours of fun and laughs and mom and dad are definitely going to up their gameplay for the rematch!

    Family fun

    We #gotitfree from #FamilyRatedClub and played this game as a family. It was easy to figure out the rules and everyone had a blast! The QR code for the timer brought me to a site that didn’t work on my iPhone but that made no difference. The kids were asking when we would play again and it’s a sneaky way to make them practice their penmanship so it’s a win for parents too!

    Fun game with challenge

    The Less is More game from Spin Master offers a fun game for children and adults. It allows players to be creative and succinct in their responses, which is harder than it seems, especially when on a time limit. A great number of answer cards are included, allowing for hundreds of rounds without repeating.

    Recommended age is 8. We played with a younger child (6 1/2) and it was a bit too difficult for her. Saying that, as an adult I also found it challenging - trying to offer a good clue to the secret word in as few letters as possible is difficult.

    With 3 players, we played several rounds, and enjoyed the game. We were not always successful in figuring out the secret clue. I think this game would be most fun with a lot of players (6 is the maximum).

    The only issue we had was with the white boards. The marker erasers did not clean them very well. We ended up using wipes as well. But, after a few rounds, a hue of black remained and you could even see some of the erased letters. I was able to clean the boards more thoroughly using a household cleaning tool. For this, I have taken off a star.

    Fun game to play!

    My daughter was so excited to play this game when she saw me open it! She’s 8 and just getting more confident in her reading skills. She thought this game was fun and felt like it helped improve her reading, writing and making connections. It took a bit of time to get used to the game, but that’s typical with any new game! This will definitely be a game we will use often.
