Tags Quiz Game First Impressions

Tags will ask players to name something from a category that starts with different letters.

But you’re also competing against the clock.

Everything can be labelled, categorized, sorted by topics, or given a tag. Cities can be big or small, movies can be funny or boring, people can be geeks or politicians…but how good are YOU at tagging the world?

Tags Game Play

20 marbles are laid out randomly in their spaces and cards are put in their space. 5 Have categories along the top and 4 with letters down the side.

The top of each of these is flipped face-up and a timer is flipped over.

Tags Board

The start player has 15 seconds to collect marbles from the board. To do this, they need to find an answer that fits the cross-section of category and letter.

If a player gets the last marble in a column they take that column’s topic tag.

When the timer runs out, it is flipped back over and the next player immediately starts their turn.

When the last marble is taken or all players can’t take at least one marble in subsequent turns, the round ends.

Players score points for each marble they got depending on its colour and for each tag which is worth more points depending on its difficulty.

Players play a number of rounds with different letters/categories equal to the player count and the players with the most points are the winners.

Theme

None! Well, the questions are on Tags…

Setup

It’s fun rolling the marbles onto the board!

Components

The marbles are really nice dobbers.

The tags fit into the game board well and the whole insert works really well.

Tags Categories

Ease of Teaching

Very simple. It’s a quiz game to a timer, no problem there.

Tags Summary

It’s a quiz game so there are a lot of these around. Even speed ones like Mr Listers Quiz Shootout, there’s a lot!

I don’t really need to say much more about it, to be honest. Either you’ll like this sort of thing or you won’t.

It can be distracting as you only have 15 seconds but those marbles worth more points might distract you enough that you miss out on lower value ones. I know for sure I had 2×2 pointers in my head but I wasted all that time on a 1×3 pointer!

So good fun, plenty of replayability, excellent components and a fun game.
