If you love nerve-wracking, fast-paced games, then Spintensity is for you.
200 question cards which are double sided giving you 400 questions
6 playing pawns
Start & finish markers
Electronic timer
Rules
Each game is divided up by the timer into rounds, so you just keep playing until the timer stops its countdown and instructions. To start you press the timer button and pick up your first card…. You always have to name three of the items that are on the card you picked up. So, pick your card up and say name 3 then read what’s on the card.
You then must answer the question as quickly as possible and as soon as you name your three you press the timer button. Now the timer gives you time to read the question, so you will hear it start and it gives you five seconds to read and then it flashes green for five seconds for you to answer. If you don’t hit it within the five seconds, then it will flash red, you don’t win the card and the game moves onto the next person who will pick a new card form the middle.
If you do manage to answer your question within the five seconds you keep that card and watch as the timer will start to flash around the board. It will stop on an instruction of what you are to do next, which include: 2 More – If the light lands on this you most name two more of the things that is on the same card you just answered. 3 More – If the light lands on this you most name three more of the things that is on the same card you just answered. Next Card – You must quickly pick up a new card and name three things that is listed on it and again try and hit the button within the five seconds.
Next Player – Play moves to the next person and they pick up a card and try and name three items that are listed on that card. Your turn stops and you win the card when it lands on either Next Card or Next Player. You keep answering questions, pressing the timer button and following the instructions of what to do next until the timer stops.
At this point you all count up how many cards you have won and move your pawn that many spaces around the board. You keep playing like this until someone gets to the finish marker.
We LOVED Spintensity and it is definitely one for older kids or us adults after we’ve indulged in a homecooked meal or takeaway. We are already dying to play this on Boxing Day again and has fast become a firm favourite. You can buy Spintensity from Smyths and other stores.

I’d play this with my husband. He’s so competitive that whenever we are playing along with quiz shows on TV he never gives me a chance to get a word in before he’s answered all the questions! With this he would have to wait his turn.
