You’ve Been Sentenced, Review & Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered.

I was sent a complimentary copy of You’ve Been Sentenced, along with their Twisted Fish card game to play and review with my family. We are a big card and game family. We feel it’s important as a family to have time together doing nothing else but relaxing and having fun. That is why we make a point of planning a “Family Fun Night” at least two Fridays a month. Over the last two we have played You’ve Been Sentenced.

Grades 3 & up. This sentence-building game uses unique five-sided cards with multiple conjugations of a base word. With a hand of 10 cards, players try to score the most points per round by constructing the longest, grammatically correct, and sensible sentence. Any player can object to another players sentence, on either grammatical grounds, or the fact that the sentence just doesn’t make sense. The defending player and the objecting player get to argue their points to the rest of the players, who form a jury. Half the fun is trying to defend, explain, and justify a completely ridiculous sentence to the other players. First player to reach 200 points wins.

Our daughter is ten and really enjoys this game. She loves making us laugh with her silly sentences. And we love watching her reading skills and confidence grow each time we play. Any board game that combines reading and fun is hit with us.

You’ve Been Sentenced also offers multiple methods of play and you can purchase several add-on card sets to keep things fresh.

The available add-on decks include:
Reader’s Digest National Word Power Challenge™ Deck
Sports Highlights Deck
Sci-fi and Fantasy
Pop Culture Deck
Gourmet Cuisine Deck
