Calendar Holdings Damn You Auto Correct Board Game

Kind of hard to play. Not really what we expected

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The game is very simple but some of the answers to the questions don't make sense.

Thank you!!! Prompt Service!!! This is such a funny game!!! I would highly recommend this game!!! This is the second one I bought.

I hat this game. I couldn't figure out how to adhesive nazis. Wait, what? OMG! LOL autocorrect!! I mean, I couldn't figure out how to chicken vagina. Ugh! No!! I mean I couldn't figure out how to penis dinosaur. AHH!! Nevermind....

I recently had the displeasure of playing this game at a family game night. The person who'd brought this over had never played it before, which explains why they thought it was a good idea to bring it in the first place.I'm going to go into detail, but if you're pressed for time, the main takeaway is this: Don't buy this game. Don’t play this game. Spend your time and money on something more enjoyable, like a trip to the dentist.This is without a doubt the worst game I've ever played. I do not believe that it was play-tested in any way. Let's list the problems:1. The instructions make no sense. As another reviewer pointed out, the mode "I'd Text That" has you first write down which text each person feels they'd text themselves. For now let's ignore the fact that that is a completely inane thing to do, because it doesn't matter anyway. Right afterwards you’re supposed to vote on which player is mostly to have texted one of the cards. Which one?! We just read 3. It makes no sense. We must have read and reread that section about 6 times before just making up our own rules for it. Oh, and the instructions are written twice on the same sheet of paper. Page 1 is A, Page 2 is B, Page 3 is B, Page 4 is A.2. The game modes are ridiculously dumb. For example, one mode has everyone take a guess at what the mistaken text was supposed to say. The person whose turn it is now tries to figure out who guessed what. Why is that a mode? It's not like everyone picked their favorite color. Everyone took a stab at correcting a typo. Either everyone's answer is the same, or they are slight variations of the same few letters.The mode I mentioned in point 1, besides being completely broken, was an awful idea in the first place. Which of these texts reminds you most of yourself? Which of these texts reminds you most of someone at the table? If you grab three random texts with typos, odds are none of those are really going to speak to you. "Oh man, that typo about falling down a well? I could so have written that!"3. The only game mode that actually makes sense and seems like a good idea is the most basic one: Figuring out what an autocorrect was supposed to say. This makes sense in theory, but in practice it doesn't work well at all. Half the time the answer is extremely easy. The other half what the original text was supposed to say is either incredibly obscure (it is, after all, the middle of a real text conversation), or the autocorrect REALLY butchered the words (which is what's funny about the DYAC website) and it’s impossible to guess. It just doesn't work.4. The points system rewards you more for being able to roll a die than it does for getting answers right. At the beginning of your turn, you roll the die. Let's say you get a six. Great. You move forward six spaces. Then you have to guess an autocorrect and you get it right. Even better! Now you move one more space up. So you moved seven spaces on your turn - only one of those spaces because you did something right. If you get it wrong, you still moved six spaces. You could win the whole game without ever getting a right answer. Some modes let you move multiple spaces forward. Some let others move forward too. There are blanks where you get to pick the mode. Why would you pick any one besides the one that lets you move multiple spaces forward? It all seems so arbitrary.One positive: The board construction is solid, the cards feel alright and the colors are bright and crisp. So there's that. Not enough to earn a second star though.I spent more time writing this review than the game designers did writing the rulebook. It's that bad. It is possible to have some fun with this game, but you have to make it yourself. You'll chuckle at a few of the cards, but then the round will start and you'll be chuckling at how little sense this all makes. If you like the website, I recommend you take another visit to it and spare yourself the time and money you'd invest in this worthless game.

So I bought this game in the local game store giving it a chance. Bad decision.First, there is no proper penalty/reward system going on here. You roll a die and move that many spaces, but move one more if the current category's objective is met. So what? I could get every single one wrong and still win because I rolled a die better. This really needs to be a points based game.Second, some rules for categories are ambiguous. "I'd text that" has the "judge" pick 3 cards and everybody writes down what they feel is the one they'd text themselves. THEN you're supposed to vote... on the other players that's most likely to text that... and who ever gets the most votes gets to move forward. What? What's the point of the first part then?! Does that just get completely thrown out?Not to mention that the above category makes NO SENSE for 2 player games. The person reading the card on that turn never plays, so who's going to vote?!Did they even play test this game?

Someone decided "let's make a board game out of this funny thing" and then spent maybe 20 minutes implementing it. We played it for even less time than that.We did, however, all enjoy laughing at how bad it was.

This game sucks. It makes no sense. The instructions are too vague and make no sense, and they are repeated. There's no anomity for the answers to vote. And who puts unsharpened pencils in the box????

This is terrible. Bought as a gift for my parents, and when we all sat down to play it as a family, we had to throw in the towel after a few minutes. We love cheesy games, but this one was just plain bad, no cheese involved. We were so excited to play it, too :( if you want to get rid of your company, pull this gem out lol!
