Mad Gabx$21.00
  (21 reviews)
Best Price: $24.99 $21.00
Introducing the new game that has everyone speaking a strange new language called Mad Gab. Read a group of simple words aloud, like: "Ask Rude Arrive Her." You and your team-mates have 30 seconds to sound out three puzzles. Guess right and snatch that card. Miss it, and the other team can steal the point. O.K. the time is set, the card flipper is loaded, and everyone's ready for a laugh riot. Just remember, when it comes to scoring points in Mad Gab, it's not what you say, it's what you hear. Includes 1,200 Mad Gab puzzles on 300 cards, timer unit, flipper unit, timer/flipper label, score pad and instructions. For 2 to 12 players.
Canoe Key Pace He Grit? Mad Gab is one of the most entertaining and fun talk-out-loud games you’ll even play. Teams square off against their opponents in trying to be the first to 25 points, which are earned by solving word puzzles. The puzzles are mondegreens of small words that, when said together, sound like a phrase, famous person, place, or thing. For example, "Canoe Key Pace He Grit" when pronounced quickly sounds like "Can you keep a secret?"  | | 300 cards, a timer, and a score pad are included. "Eiffel Tower" and "A Model Citizen" are the shown puzzles. | Talking to yourself might have people looking at you funny any other time, but it’s almost a prerequisite for Mad Gab. Simply reading "Sea Grit Dress Up Ease" may not be enough to solve the puzzle. But once you start sounding it out slow, fast, slurred, or with quick repetitions, you start to hear "secret recipes" and have the answer. But players should be careful, because if they don’t guess correctly before time runs out, then the opposing team has a chance to steal for the point. The game includes 300 cards featuring 1,200 puzzles with two levels of difficulty. An easy example is "Sand Tack Laws" being Santa Claus, while a hard clue might be "Thigh Sing Gone Thick Ache" (the icing on the cake). A timer, a flipper, labels, a score pad, and instructions are also included.

Fun and hilarious
By A3FTK75BBK1IPQ on 2007-01-11
I wanted something for the adults to play at Christmas that would definitely make people laugh. This definitely hit the spot. We played with eight people, of which four of them had already had their share of drinks, and that just made it all the more fun. Listening to someone try to figure out the phrases can be hilarious. For anyone who actually knows how to have a good time and wants to have fun, this game will do it. I played later with my twelve year old, and it was just as fun with her. She can't wait to play it with her friends, and my eighteen year old daughter can't wait to take it and play with her friends. It's a good laugh for a lot of different ages.
All the fun of a grocery store loudspeaker
By A1D3PGTAGWF5JH on 2006-12-18
I played this at a friend's party, and it was a wretched party game. It basically consists of a person reading the puzzle in a monotone voice and allowing everyone else to attempt to figure it out. It is incredibly monotonous, and a throughly awful game to play at a party.
I admire its cleverness. It took a lot of creativity and know-how to make up these challenging puzzles. But for the sake of all your guests, I emplore you: Hide this boring game. Hide it as well as possible.
The painful thing is that out of a choice between Mad Gab and Lost: The Game my friend chose Mad Gab. It's sad, really.
Fun for kids and adults
By A2E6LS73L4DRBO on 2007-01-10
Our family likes to play this game together. Kids should be at least 13 or some phrases may not make sense. It's fun to play with a few couples.
Great for college kids
By AJ3SLN66WKDG4 on 2006-12-19
This is a great game for a college dorm late night gathering. And be sure and bring it home with you on break to play with your parents! A laugh a minute, if you are able to laugh at yourself and enjoy lauging at your friends.
Great game that tons of fun!
By ATYYECC3PVB45 on 2006-12-31
Our family loves this game. It creates tons of laughter as players try to figure out the puzzles. Everyone has a great time and it is challenging even for some of the "brains" in the family. Highly recommended. A+++
- Mad Gab Rocks!!
By A3BXFXGMR5AQ9F on 2007-08-06
This game is unbelievable fun for adults...and kids over the age of about 9 will get it too, although the sentences/sayings might not be as familiar to them.
We have had wonderful time playing this everytime, as a family, and with adult friends as well...
get this game and have great fun!
- GAB's Got Game!
By A26F88KB41ROBC on 2007-01-05
I played this game for thie first time at a family gathering. There were players from three groups-late teens, twenty somethings, and forty somethings. We laughed and laughed trying to figure out the phrases. With good food, tasty drinks, family and friends, this game was a big hit!
- Mad Gab GREAT gift
By A2F8N0W9II2NL6 on 2007-01-16
This is a VERY fun game for kids and adults of all ages - what a GREAT gift!
- Fun Fun
By A23XNISRAMAEDE on 2007-03-26
The instructions were a bit confusing, so we just made up our own rules that were a variation from the original instructions.
However, this game produced a lot of laughs. There are always requests to bring it on game nights.
- Not good if you're prone to hysteria!!
By A3GG40K4XNQ2CQ on 2007-12-23
My daughters are as prone to hysterical laughter as I am and we've had this game for years. My oldest and I quit playing this as a game with the timer. We would just gather with her friends with no rules to figure out what the cards said because that was just so much fun. We would laugh so hard we couldn't see straight as the tears streamed down our cheeks. This was when she was in middle school.
If you are easy to entertain this is definitely the game for you, if you like a challange this could be it for you also! It's still just as fun, we sit it aside for awhile and forget what the cards say then pull it out again, plus with so many cards we can't remember them all.

By A1LQXFJLV16S1T on 2008-01-16
in case you are wondering or are stuck on this example i made up from this game, it says "stupid game makes no sense unless you're drunk". that says it all. this game is rather stupid and annoying unless you are really plastered drunk, but then again, what kind of exapmle does that send to your children? "hey kids, if you drink lots of guiness you will have more fun!" i dont think so...though it would be a lot funnier, thats still out of the quetsion and beside the point. this is the perfect drinking game. one thing about this game that was really irrataing was the fact that the timer it came with was loud enough to shatter eardums within a 10 yard radius! utterly rediculus. do not try to follow the rules, i guerentee you wont understand, its much more fun if you just have a bunch of people and have one person try to figure out one of the stupid puzzels on the card [btw one side is SUPPOSED TO BE hard and the other easy...not the case...they are both equally stupid]. i do not recomend this game. it had a great commercial, but it gets really old in about 5 minutes unless alcohol is involved.
- LOVE IT!
By A32Z3RXMKDJGG2 on 2007-12-26
This is such a fun game! It's great at a party (as a drinking game) and even in my classroom as a reward. Everyone I know who has played this game loves it.
- Great Group Game
By AFS781UJIDGAD on 2008-01-01
We received this game for Christmas, and it is so much fun. We had a group of nine playing on Christmas night. We all were laughing, and having a great time. I really do recommend this game for a fun family game night. You won't be sorry.
- GREAT FUN GAME!
By A21KNK2N6GIRI7 on 2007-12-21
Mad Gab is a great game! We play it on the holidays with the whole family - kids and everyone. We just sit there and play for hours and crack up! It's hilarious! Funniest game we ever played. I highly recommend it!
- Spanning the ages of 9 - 75, fun for all
By A2XX6RZ4MCS6SC on 2008-01-08
This game was a riot and the fun can span many generations. Included in the Christmas time hilarity were my fourth grader and my 75 year old Father. We laughed till we were on the floor with the kind of bonding laughter that creates lifetime memories. The brains behind this game are geniuses. Thank you!

- Lots of laughter
By AKIVR24APPBSG on 2008-01-12
My daughter (21) requested this game; I hadn't played it before and it's very entertaining. We played with the whole family, age ranges from 11 through 50+ and everyone got into it. Some of the references were more difficult depending on your age, but there is enough variety that it all evens out. We laughed a lot, and that's always a good thing!
- I returned this Game
By AK1MRB79FJVBB on 2008-01-14
First the quility of the game was very good. But the questions were hard and actually not a fun game at all. I do have a friend that sugusted me to purchase this game because her family loved it. But I didn't agree with her.
- Good Brain Excercise
By A1CGL9CETHY4NQ on 2008-06-02
If you like word games and figuring out puzzles, then you will enjoy this game. It takes a bit of logic and a good grasp of popular sayings to figure out. Also, must not be ashamed of sounding insane when mouthing off phonetically. If on the other hand, you do not like word games and are not familiar with idioms, then you will not enjoy the game. As an educational toy, I believe it is a good exercise for the brain and for honing listening skills. Again, this game is truly for people who enjoy word puzzles, all others probably best to steer away.
- BEST GAME EVER
By AHDU73EZTYFJJ on 2008-07-02
Great, great fun, and lots of laughter! We play this game every summer on our camping trip with 4 to 20 players, ages 7 to 60. The only problem that we have with this game is that we have gone through all the cards at least 3 times and need a 2nd edition!!!
If you are looking for fun for all, look no farther!!!
- It doesn't pay to be a visual person
By A22M9ASBDE287J on 2008-07-11
Mad Gab is a very fun and creative game. It's a team game whereby the team reads the totally random put together words and tries to guess what is really being said. For example: "New Disc Hollow Knee" answer: "Nudist Colony". It is great to watch as people clamor for the correct phrase or name, and as the card holder hears it he/she can't understand why the team isn't guessing it when they sound like they are saying it correctly. If you are an audio person you will have a field day, but if you are a visual person, you will have fits.
