FEATURED Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus the Game
- BOARD GAME
The outrageous game that may change the way you see the opposite sex.Author and relationship guru John Gray comes down to Earth with Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Game, a fun and funny boxed “home version” based on the book that has spent so many years on The New York Times Best Sellers list. In the game, it’s Venusians vs. Martians as each team tries to guess how other players will respond to multiple-choice questions in seven categories, including “The Dating Circuit,” “Communication,” and the sex-related “In the Flesh.” Women try to match how a male opponent might answer a query from the Mars deck such as “The hardest thing for a man to admit is that he’s: a) broke b) impotent, or c) aging.” Similarly, the women’s Venus deck poses questions such as “For me, it would be most difficult to ask for a a) date b) loan, or c) promotion” and “The sexiest man wears a) a silk shirt b) a T-shirt, or c) his heart on his sleeve.” Provocative, humorous, and stimulating, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Game makes for a fun hour of interpersonal interplanetary interplay. –Tony Mason
This game’s name is it’s only clever element,
Proved to be a disappointing choice for our new annual Thanksgiving game. The instructions were laborious and slow. The questions were based on stereotypical assertions…men are insensitive brutes, women are flighty, fussy dullards. There was nothing new in this game. There were no clever questions or scenarios offered in the cards. After a half hour of struggling for a laugh…we switched back to our two satisfying ‘good-time standbys’…Taboo and Compatibility.

|Getting to Know You…,
I’m surprised at the low ratings this game received. Perhaps other buyers are not familiar with the Men/Mars-Women/Venus line of books, with their emphasis on relationships and gender issues. This a very personal game, but in this hurried, harried, hassled world of ours, it’s refreshing to step out of the rush and learn more about the people you love. Playing is easy. We play in teams, men vs women. We always do that when we get together, regardless of the game
A participant reads a question with 3 possible answers S/he records his/her answer. Both teams have three tokens they can use to mark what they think the answer is. You move ahead on the board according to how many tokens your team placed on the correct answer. We play our games very friendly style, so the questions become conversation starters. You might be surprised at what you learn about a friend of 20 years, or you may begin to know someone new. This is a game for ‘nice’ people. Manipulations, lies, and insults will ruin enjoyment. A little bit of teasing or a giggle now and then is okay. You determine how much fun you have. Loosen up. Get close in a world increasingly full of strangers. You have nothing to lose but your sense of isolation.

|Good game,
This is a great game for couples. As a younger couple that has been together for 3 1/2 years we really enjoyed it and learned alot about each other. It is great for three couples and can be played over and over.
