Fib or Not?

The way it works is that players select subject cards to get a topic for a story. The cards have many great topics that help spur memories of stories (about you, your friends or someone you know). Then players take turns telling stories - but with a twist. The stories can be real or made up. The other players then have to guess if the story really happened or if they are being bluffed.

The game has cute characters that help set the stage for the lightheartedness of the game play, quality game pieces and voting chips that actually feel good in your hands (these weren't made in China!) and easy to understand instructions that also include some tips for good story telling.

In short, we had a blast playing the game and highly recommend it for any party or as an excuse to get together with friends.


Get the opportunity to lie for a good reason!   November 3, 2003

Forget everything mama told you about lying. It's welcome in this game. If your party is lifeless or everyone is sick of the usual activities, grab Fib or Not? to break the ice. Share wild stories, fact or fiction.

Get the party started with the storyteller who has to draw a card to get the topic of the story. The game has many story topics such as telling about a surprise party, getting a scar, or a fear. The pressure doesn't stop there because it's a race against the timer, too.

Each player takes a turn guessing if the story is a tall tale or the real deal. The more people the storyteller bamboozles, the more spaces to move closer to the winner's circle.

Expect to crack up before the game ends and go home talking about so and so's great story. A bonus is the opportunity for players to learn more about one another unless every story is fiction! The game works great at teen parties, college parties, adult get-togethers, family gatherings, and kid events.


A big hit even with younger children - a great family game   November 24, 2001

I'd highly recommend this game. We tried out this game with my Girl Scout Troop - Girls between Kindergarten through 2nd grade, and a few Jr. High school girls. Even though some of the girls are younger than the recommended age, they had a blast telling stories about their lives, and liked to add just enough "lies" to make the stories fun. They truly loved the game, and couldn't wait until it was available. This is a great game to play with your children. I had a lot of fun listening to the girls' experiences, and we laughed a whole lot together during the game.
I'm also a foster parent, and this is an EXCELLENT way to learn about new children in the home in a non-threatening, non-interrogating, and fun way.
This would be a great way for your children (or grandchildren) to learn about your life as a youngster, as well.
