That said, certain occasions can call for a touch more… design inspiration… if you will.

You could even have a card at each place setting at the dinner table if you wanted to!

Double bonus is that you can print as many as you need and switch up the categories for however big or small your game night is.

What Is Scattergories?

Scattergories is a party-based category game created by the Parker Brothers. Scattergories has been a staple game night choice since the 1988.

This fun fast paced game requires at least 2 players.

The objective is to score points by uniquely naming objects that fit the categories in a timed setting.

You have to be creative with your answers because they are based off of the initial letters.

For instance, you can have a fruit category and must name fruit that starts with the corresponding letter.

However, the key is that you cannot have duplicate answers as other players!

Nowadays, there’s a Scattergories app or Scattergories mobile. But we love playing on good ole fashion paper.

    • Hi Laura! These cards were gifted and we have no idea where they were purchased from! Sorry that we couldn’t be any help but it looks like something from Urban Outfitters or even Amazon?
