What Came First? Simple 50:50 Family Board Game for Kids and Adults

Another great Big Potato game. It's simple, very quick and easy to learn (there's nothing worse than spending half an hour figuring out and bickering over the rules of a new game) and despite its simplicity it has a lot of mileage due to the large number of cards and the extra mechanics of the game - the time tokens and being able to guess the exact year for bonus moves. The number of players is also flexible and the games can be really quick or quite long depending on how much time you have so it makes for a perfect party game. Highly recommended!

This is a great game because it is easy to learn and fun for everyone - a mixture of complete guesswork and educated guesswork and occasional brilliance. Basically anyone is in with a chance. The main downside is that you go through the cards very quickly and they will probably only las a handful of sessions. There doesn’t seem to be the option of refill cards. So low marks for value for money.

I was looking for a boardgame that we could play as a family and this didn't disappoint. My 5 and 7 year old daughters had a brilliant time as part of the teams and enjoyed building the little figures that you play as when you move around the board. My only (very very) slight peice of criticism is the similar colours on the cards when choosing the sides to bet on. Yellow and orange are very close and difficult to see in dim lighting, but again that is me being hyper critical. All in all, would def buy another board game from big potato! Fingers crossed for expansion cards at some point.

One of my family bought the game for after Christmas dinner games. We found it entertaining and educational. It can be fun and leads to further discussion regarding the answers. It can be played as teams which we did or for 2 or more players. We decided to purchase our own game to play during the autumn evenings. Can’t wait to play this game! Good value.

I brought this game for the family for Christmas. Easy to set up.the instructions are clear and easy to understand. Good quality board and pieces. We are a family of 4 aged 11 years to 40 something. We all enjoy this game. Great fun especially playing in teams. Educational too. We have all learned a few bits of trivia playing this. The game does not take too long either.

A fun game the only problem was some of the cards had totally unrelated answers to what the question was. For example Alton towers or Betty white and on the other side of the card it said Thorpe park! This was not the only wrong card.

We had seen this game recommended on the telly and decided to buy it as a christmas present. I like the concept of the game. It is a good game for all the family to play because it does not really matter if you know the answer or not, you can guess. When we played this at christmas, there are quite a few errors on their questions and answer cards which really did start to become annoying after a while. If there wasn't so many wrong cards then I would have given this game a 5 star. The company that makes the game need to do a better quality control on their product. Otherwise it is a good game.

I ordered this game as there are currently 5 adults at home during lockdown, we have been playing a few board games but wanted something different. This game was it! Simple instructions, easy to set up and understand and great for all abilities. We played in teams the first time, but then we also played individually ( just found some poker chips to use) , my youngest daughter ( 20) thought she would be rubbish at it, but she won and my husband who usually wins all the games came last ! So it's a real leveller for all abilities and ages. We love it, our new favourite.
