Change My Mind

Bought this for my SIL for Christmas because we love family game nights and it's hilarious! It's super easy to play and I love that it has family friendly cards AND adult cards.

My family and I found this Change My Mind game to be loads of fun! We played at a restaurant recently when we went to dinner. We were, as we often do, able to get the waitress to participate. She said she had so much fun and we were a great family to serve. We thanked her for her participation and tipped her well. It was a challenge getting her to change her mind about a few of the questions; we'd tell her to think about it while she served other customers. Then she'd come back with her decision(s). But for the family, it was easy to get us to change each other's minds, because we know each other. We know what to say to each other to get the challenge done. Some wild questions, but still loads of fun. All the best & God bless.

Change My Mind is such a fun and engaging game! The packaging is super enticing, and the topics are absolutely wild, you start debating the moment you open the box. It's the perfect mix of laughter, conversation, and friendly competition. Highly recommend for anyone who loves clever, thought-provoking games!

We really enjoyed this as a family game. I ordered the Family Edition, so fortunately there were not any vulgar or inappropriate cards as mentioned in some other reviews. This was especially fun for my 13yo who loves to debate anything and everything and convince you that you're wrong. Did I mentioned she's 13? Haha. Anyway, it was fun for the 4 of us to play together, it was easy to learn, and compact enough that we can take it on vacation with us if we want. We like to take small games to play while we're away.

Great way to create dialog, share opinions and debate.. LOL The rating/scoring is a little funky to follow, but the fun is in the challenges and answers. I'm a Boomer. Reminds me of the old college days when you would debate just to debate - about all kinds of stuff. Why DID the chicken cross the road? LOL

Good value for people who like lively interaction with each other. And WAY better than watching TV or being glued to your smart phone.

I picked this game because I was looking for something fun to play with family, and I think this will be just the thing.

Here's how it works: each player gets a card and secretly ranks their answers in order using tokens. The dealer then flips their own card and openly ranks their answers with tokens. From there, the fun begins, everyone else tries to convince the dealer why their order is actually the right one.

It reminds me a little of Two Truths and a Lie. In that game you're convincing people why they should believe you, and here you're convincing the dealer to see things your way. Same kind of playful debate, just with a new twist.

I can already tell this will lead to lots of laughter, creative arguments, and some surprisingly thoughtful discussions. I'm really looking forward to trying this with a bigger group, I think that's when it'll be at its best.

This is a quick, fun game for 4 or 5 people who like to talk. The basic premise is that one person (the Ranker) controls one round of the game. The Ranker picks one of about 40 preprinted cards, each of which has a different item to rank. Each player uses 5 supplied chips (about the size of a small poker chip) to indicate their individual ranking, with the catch that these rankings are hidden from the other players.

After everyone has finished their own rankings, the Ranker turns over his/her chips to show the Ranker's ranking. The game then begins in earnest, as the other players then try to get the Ranker to change his/her ranking through "logic" and "persuasion." Points are scored when a players ranks are the same as the Ranker's rankings.

After rankings are compared and points are scored, the status of Ranker passes to another player, and a new round begins.

The description offers the opportunity to "play it solo" -- but it's really difficult to imagine how that would work. In reality, the game needs at least 3 (preferably 4) people to make it fun.

One drawback is that there are chips for only 5 players. We made up our own score sheet (not supplied with this product) to allow up to about 8 or 9 people to play. (The image of the score sheet attached to this review is hereby put into the Public Domain without restrictions.)

Bottom line: This is a fun, clean, family-friendly game that can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on play style.

NOTE: There are two other versions on offer that are decidedly NOT family-friendly. The box for these versions aptly notes those versions are for 17+ age.

this game is like opening Pandora's box, except instead of releasing evil into the world, you're unleashing the absolute wildest debates you never knew your friends were capable of having! I brought this to what was supposed to be a "chill game night" and ended up with five adults screaming about whether it's worse to have permanently sticky hands or to be covered in baby oil by Diddy....

The NSFW edition lives up to its name - I'm talking questions so off-the-wall that my 50+ year-old self had to Google half the options while my friends cackled like hyenas. Fair warning: this game will teach you things about your closest friends that you absolutely cannot unlearn, and you'll spend 20 minutes arguing about rankings that make zero logical sense but somehow feel deeply important in the moment. The cards are decent quality (nothing fancy, but they'll survive multiple wine-spilled game nights), and the cardboard chips do their job even if they're not winning any design awards. Pro tip: clear your schedule because "quick game" does not exist in this universe - we started at 8 PM thinking we'd play for an hour and suddenly it was midnight and we were still passionately debating hypothetical scenarios involving rubber ducks as marital adds!!! You will enjoy but, you have been warned!

very fun to play
cheap enough to replace when the cards get wine soaked
great variety in cards and conversations

We just got Change My Mind For the Family, and even before our first official round, it had us cracking up and having hilariously absurd conversations. This game is great for family game night, especially if you love creative, conversation-driven play.

Unlike strategy-heavy board games, this one puts the focus on the people in the room. You're not looking at pieces or obsessed with points; you're thinking about weird, unexpected, and delightfully silly topics. It's not about winning (though you technically can), but about the laughs and time together along the way. In that sense, it's more of a conversation catalyst than a competition, and that's an important part of what makes it fun and memorable.

The Family Edition comes in a small and flimsy 3.75" x 3.75" x 1.5" box. That poor quality box is the only real downside I can think of. The cards themselves are excellent, high-quality with large, easy-to-read print, and the cardboard tokens are solid. Even the instruction manual is thoughtfully done: short, clear, and easy to follow.

This edition is fully standalone, but it can also be combined with the original base set (intended for adults) or the NSFW version if you're playing with a different crowd. I'd group it with games like Cards Against Humanity in terms of simplicity, but the Family Edition keeps things clean and inclusive, no need to worry about inappropriate content.

It's priced in line with other conversation-based party games, which makes it a solid value, especially considering the quality of the cards and gameplay. That said, the box could definitely use an upgrade.

If you're looking for a fun and ridiculous way to spark laughter and connection, this game can do that. It's a fresh, low-pressure way to bring everyone together and get conversations going.

My family came together this weekend to play games, and Change My Mind was a big hit.We had such fun debating if ticks are worse than bed bugs or if climate change is a bigger threat than an alien invasion. We laughed for hours as we made increasingly exaggerated scenarios to convince each other.

I ordered this family edition so we could play without inappropriate topics. However, it was such fun that now I'm going to go ahead and order the base game (that isn't actually necessary to enjoy this small set).

It was nearly instant to learn to play. The rules even allow for using the cards for conversation without keeping score if you wanted to use them that way. The cards are nice quality. The topics are not inappropriate, but they may be more relevant to older kids. My sons are grown so if was perfect for us.

The only caution I would offer is to stress that this family edition is a small box with a short stack of cards. It's still super fun and would be easy to carry along somewhere. But it is not a full sized game box.

If you have a loud family who likes to debate, this game is priceless!! So much fun!

Have only played it once, but had a lot of fun and it will definitely become a family favorite. Had to set a timer after the first few rounds so we didn't spend all night on one card.

Played this with my adult kids and my boyfriend and we laughed so much. Some of the cards are definitely not for kids, so you can't be prudish if you're going to play. ?? It's perfect for an adults-only game night. Super easy to learn, and the rounds go quick so nobody gets bored waiting their turn. The box is compact and holds both the cards and tokens, so it's easy to store and bring along. A little chaos makes it even better!
