Trying to get someone to help you with something, which was a genuine request and not an attempt to complete a mission, was virtually impossible. Nobody trusted anyone else. It was a strange feeling.

The basic mission that everyone gets is to ask a player “Guess what?” and if they answer with “What?”, you’re successful. Other missions require you to be more clever, but I don’t really want to spoil any of them for you. Suffice it to say that the game comes with dozens upon dozens of mission cards, so you can easily play the game with dozens of people all at the same time and you could play it several times and still not run out of missions. The options are vast. With the right group (the bigger the better) of those willing to commit over an evening party, week away on holiday or months spent pulling pranks at school (or work), it’s a fun and silly way to liven life up a bit. Sometimes, that’s just what you need.Don’t Get Got! is a less a game and more a ready-made excuse-in-a-box for friends looking to mess with each other – for points!

The game continues all day if you want it to. You can start the ball rolling at the offset and catch people out throughout the day. The winner is the first player to successfully complete three of their tasks. If this doesn’t happen, the player with the most succeeded when time runs out or all players tasks are finished is the winner. It is rare that players haven’t completed at least one of their challenges at this point, so everyone will have some sense of achievement – with the winner able to gloat that bit extra. I know that many of you probably wouldn’t classify Don’t Get Got as a board game. It’s technically not even a tabletop game, because it doesn’t require a table or other surface to play. Yet, it’s listed on Board Game Geek, so I would argue it qualifies as a board game – and even if it wasn’t listed, I would still review it on my blog.It works like a competitive multiplayer version of social scavenger hunt Sneaky Cards, giving each player six missions to try and ‘nail’ before anyone else – all without a hard-and-fast time limit. Try too hard, get called out on an attempt and you’ll ‘fail’ instead, making it tougher to complete the very reasonable three needed to win. (One is the evergreen prank of getting someone to reply “What?” to “Guess what?” so there’s always a way to score a cheap point.)

The one component that lets the game down is actually the box. For what is included, the box could be a mere fraction of the size. Gaining the attention of shoppers looking at shelves is clearly an important factor here. Nevertheless, Don’t Get Got is an ideal party game to take to a friends house or a gathering and the box size doesn’t aid this. It is still a small box you could throw in a bag to take, but it takes up far more room than it should.
