Table feel

The Poll Game has a moderate level of direct confrontation and strategic depth. Players need to frequently interact and react to each other's strategies. However, there is less emphasis on cooperation in this game.

Replay value

The Poll Game offers a high level of variability with its gameboard, allowing for different experiences each time it is played. The presence of expansions adds new content and gameplay elements, enhancing the replay value. The game also provides deep strategic possibilities and room for players to improve their tactics over time. The player interaction score is average, and the game scales well with different numbers of players. While it may take some time to learn, the game offers a good balance between easiness and depth. Overall, The Poll Game has a strong replayability score of 7.6.

Luck profile

The Poll Game has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements like dice rolls or card draws have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. Players have some ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game is a balanced mix of luck and strategy, with neither element dominating the outcome.

Overview

The fun begins with the posing of an intriguing poll question. Choose from the game's 750 "Yes or No" questions, like, "Have you ever saved someone's life?" or create one of your own. The object is to guess how the other players will answer the question. Move ahead a space each time you correctly predict the number of "yes" answers. Jump ahead two spaces of you are the only player to guess the number of "Yes" responses. The first player to advance to the center of the board wins, though the fun and conversation generated by the poll questions are what the game is all about. 2001 Mensa Select 2003 Major Fun Award
