Tribond

The game was fun! We had the 80’s version and tried this newer version. It has a different twist using cards that you earn by getting correct answers. You use the cards to spell tribond. Kids liked it.

Fun for the family

I ordered this game with an Amazon gift card that I had. Instead of moving on a board, guessing a tribond wins that card. Each card has a letter on it, one of the letters that spell out TRIBOND. The first person or team to collect all seven letters wins. There is a special die that has challenge and all play on it. All play means everybody has a shot at it. Challenge means one person or team challenges another, so it's between them. It took a little over 45 minutes the one time we've played it so far. As the game goes on, you'll get duplicates of cards you already have. Trying to get that one elusive letter to win isn't easy. But this game makes it fun. A strategy is to look at what letters the other teams have when choosing who to pick on a challenge. The game is still fun and still has its share of easy and stumper tribonds.

I have three versions. All great. We don't actually play the game. We use the cards for a group discussion.

Had a great time with family playing this game.

Such a fun game and quicker to play with the new rules. Newer cards make it more it easier for younger audiences too. The fam has a great time playing this!

Great housewarming present. They’re a lot of fun to figure out. Not too easy!

We have the original Tribond game (with pieces that move around a board and question categories). We had purchased the second set of questions box years ago -- only to discover that they did not match categories to the original game (or even have the same number of categories), which was a head-scratcher. When we saw this new version, we knew the game play was different (keep cards vs move a piece on a game board) but thought it would at least provide new/different questions, which would be nice because we play it a lot and over time the questions do repeat. Well, the style of these cards is yet again different from either other set. (Imagine if you got additional Trivial Pursuit cards and it was just three random questions on a card, with no categories and only three, not six, to choose form.) Not having a category can make it trickier (but not impossible) to zero in on the common bond. It also eliminates the expertise part of the game; where you can pick a category that you like and hope for questions/answers that you are more familiar with. If you like the game, you can play it with these cards if you are willing to adapt. We are keeping it because we will use the questions/cards, but must note that some of the questions on these cards are repeats from the original, which is disappointing.
