Gender Wars – the ultimate dinner party game

November 8, 2008

Do you have any idea what’s going on inside the heads of the opposite sex?  Do you know a clutch from a tote – or the offside rules?  Delve into the mysteries of the gender divide in this furiously fun party game – and end, once and for all, the battle of Boys vs Girls.

Nothing fires up a party like a bit of competition.  Pitch the males against the females and find out who knows each other best.  Does he forget to put the seat down – does she sing Tina Turner in the car?  Who’s a better driver?  There’s no place to hide those secrets, habits, and annoying quirks.  Break down stereotypes or bring out the evidence.

The competition’s heating up…
Just like his culinary repertoire, the game’s format is appealingly simple.  You’ll need a clear head and fast thinking skills to emerge victorious.  Naturally, you’ll first be divided into two teams (no fraternising) – males and females.  Each team takes turns to draw a question card. The timer is turned.

You are asked to provide a list of five items on topics such as, “What women carry in their handbags, well, better don’t go there !” or “Male dream jobs,….ah….we know what you lads keep thinking about all the time !”.

If the opposing team can match your answers, they’ll reclaim the points!

Just like a woman asking if she looks good in her party dress, the game is outwardly simple, but oh-so-challenging.

Questions like “Men’s most annoying habits?” ensure plenty of good-tempered arguments. Teams will shout, scream and yell their way to triumph or failure.

Let’s face it: Gender Wars makes other dinner party games and family games look tame in comparison. So bring it out for guests during the festive season, or as an alternative to the Christmas Day movie – it’s perfect for diffusing energy, especially if you’ve been wrestling with a thankless turkey for the best part of the morning!

The boxed Gender Was party game includes: pack of question cards, rules booklet, score pad, sand timer, and pencils.

Decades of footie trivia for the armchair critic
“Wish list: Season ticket. 1968 match programme.”

Football fans can be difficult to please. But this DVD quiz – packed with footage and teasers about legendary players, games and goals – is a real Bobby Dazzler.

It’s a worthy celebration of the beautiful game, offering up volumes of footie trivia and useless facts.

SHOOT – Interactive Football DVD Quiz Games is a rich source of facts… the kind of thing that everyone else in the pub wishes they’d known first. The kind of useless knowledge that can turn you from Pub Regular into Pub Legend.

This beautifully produced DVD also features hugely enjoyable archival footage from legendary football games. But you’re not allowed to rest the old grey matter – the footage is interspersed with hundreds of quick-fire questions to test the wits of players, fans and critics. Thought you knew football?  You do now…

The perfect gift for him, the SHOOT – Interactive Football DVD Quiz Games provides hours of footie-fuelled entertainment at home: a great alternative when there are no football games on the telly! As well as the interactive quiz questions and footage – some of it unseen – there’s an exclusive interview with experienced commentator Jonathan Pearce.

The quiz format can be enjoyed by just one player, but it’s even more fun with a gang of passionate fans…
