Who doesn't like the Feud?

99% of the game is just fine, but you'll always have a couple of questions that pop up that MAY make some parents uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's a good game for 2 players.

What’s It About?

Just like the TV show Family Feud, FAMILY FEUD DECADES presents players with a variety of survey questions and asks them to come up with the most popular answers. A question that asks for something you might find at a baseball game seeks everything from sports fans to bleachers. It requires players to think creatively and play together. It's not a game show with extremely tough trivia questions or an emphasis on winning big money. It is simply about thinking of creative answers and having a good time.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (1 ):

Family Feud Decades is one of the few games that actually emphasizes how a family can play together as a team. This particular version of Family Feud is even more appealing for parents and children to play together because players can turn the clock back and answer surveys that were originally asked in the 1970s or 1980s. It opens up the channel of communication for how times have changed over the years, and for parents to share stories of their life when they were their children's age. As a game that is truly accessible to players of any age, Family Feud Decades is sure to be a hit for any family.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about other activities they can do with each other. What else can bring families closer together?

  • This game requires players to constantly be thinking on their feet. What other activities require you to think quickly and stay focused?

  • Players can go through survey questions from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Playing through older questions might lead to a conversation between parents and children about how life was different 20 or 30 years ago.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
