| arguement over whether it is permissible to skip words while in play, the opposing team feels it is acceptable while I feel it is against the guidlines of the game, the rules do not specify. |

| Catch Phrase = MRI.
The other team used 'magnetic' as the clue.
Our team thought totally unacceptable. However, the rules do not specifically rule it out.
Any and all reasonable ways to interpret the rules would be appreciated. |

| For really competitive players, more concise rules should be established.......examples are - how precise must we be (for all adult players).....e.g. should "Lost your Marbles" be correct when the game calls for "Lose your Marbles", or singular/plural cases, etc. Best way to deal is probably to establish specific game rules before the game starts......... |

| I love Catch Phrase, but recently, my electronic version gave out. Too much use I guess :). I did a search for the game to buy it online and came across that there's a fun iPhone app called "Pass the Words" that's basically Catch Phrase for the iPhone, so I went ahead and bought that since it's only $2.99. Yay for savings and Catch Phrase! |

| two questions.....
word was revolution - they voted down my clue
revolt.....saying it was using the word...but I say NO
word was Miss ..... I said Mrs. but was voted off for that too....

| Can someone help me? If the game has Greek Goddess-can you give Greece as a clue? |

| I was playing catchphrase tonight and my word was longitude so my clue was not latitude but and they guessed longitude however the opposing team said I cheated because "tude" is in both words even though this is not a word. I strongly feel they are wrong please help. The game is currently under protest so please get back to me ASAP! Thank You |

We love this game! An answer to the question below you would not be able to say thing that goes in a pen to get your team to say ink since pen in part of the phrase you need them to say. Also, "Pen Ink" is different than "Pen and Ink" but since the rules are vague you can adopt "House Rules". We allow our younger players to skip words they do not know. We also allow adults to skip words if their team is made up of mostly young kids. This makes for a more level playing field for ALL members of the family!!
We usually have three generations playing at one time. Ages ranging from 10 to 60 yrs. old. What a blast! |

| The rules don't clarify whether the guesser has to guess the exact phrase... or if they can guess part or most of it and that's good enough for a pass. Example: having "Pin and Ink", the reader says, thing that goes in a pin, the guesser says Pin Ink, and the reader passes. Is that a legidamate guess? or does the guess have to be exact? |

| Catch Phrase is one of my favorite games! There is hardly any setup and few pieces. It’s easy to learn and most people already know how to play. I love playing it with larger groups. I give Catch Phrase a 10! |
