That’s It! is a party game. You are given a clue with many answers. Be the first player to answer correctly and you score points which get you cards. The first player to collect three cards wins.
That’s It cards have five topics with answers on them. For each line that you answer correctly you get a scoring token. The tokens are face-down and range from one to five points. The final line is a bonus topic and gets you two scoring tokens. The reader gets a scoring token if no one says the answer in 30 seconds (or stop guessing before 30 seconds are up). After a card is finished being read you add up your points on your scoring token. The player with the most points wins the card. If you get to three cards you win the game.
That’s It! is a family-friendly, party game that is simple to play and fun. Though the box says ages 12+, I have played this with my young kids and they were able to play and still have fun. We did not necessarily play a competitive game but they enjoyed guessing answer for topics they knew about.
The components for this game are top-notch. The cards and tokens are well-made and the rules are easy to read and follow.
I like that this game plays and quick and allows a variety of ages and number of players. You could even play with teams if you like. It is highly portable too.
The biggest drawback is playing so much that players memorize the answers. This will take awhile as there are 200 cards, but could be a concern if you play a lot.
That’s It! hits the spot if you are looking for a fun party game the whole family can enjoy.

Is there expansion cards for this game. Have played it for two years, starting to remember the answers.
Not that I know of.
Love playing this game but wondering if there’s a Canadian version?
