Review of Gifts - Beat the Parents

(I figured out how to put in a picture for this one.)

Beat the Parents was one of my gifts that I received.

There are questions that kids ask parents and questions that parents ask kids. You move across the board in opposite directions. If you land on the same space, you can move your opponent back. (Instead of Battle of the Sexes, it's parents versus kids.) The box says ages 6+.

We've played this game a couple of times. It's not a good fit for our family. Our kids trounce on on the parents. When our kids can win the game and we are virtually at the starting line, it's not a ton of fun.

Why is it not a good fit for our family? The parents in our family are not familiar with all of the teeny-bopper shows on Disney Channel, we do not know much about Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and our repertoire of pre-teen music is limited. In our opinion, the kids questions are pretty easy general trivia and the parents questions are pop culture for children and pre-teens from the 2000's. With our family, it makes for a very one-sided game. The kids are good generalists on things like primary colors, names of continents, identification of mammal, reptile or fish, etc. The parents don't watch the Disney Channel or listen to teeny-bopper music.

This game will be for sale or donated soon. If your family is somewhat like ours, I do not recommend this game. Let me know if you would like to buy it from us!
