800 is a perfect score on the SATs (or GREs), and this game is
about asking questions that might appear on the verbal section
of those tests. There's a pretty normal-looking board with an
okay pyramid design (but perhaps a bit more spaces than is
really practical), and supposedly the levels increase
in difficulty (although this wasn't really that apparent to me).
The only extra flavor on the board are the occasional "eliminate
one" spaces where all you need to do is to choose an wrong
choice and eliminate it, and the "Reading Comprehension"
sections which, well, kinda kill interaction between the
players as everyone waits for the one guy to read a passage
and answer a multiple-choice question on it.
Well, the box claims that this game is outrageously funny, but it's
more like subtly funny. If you actually read the questions, occasionally
there's a answer choice that is pretty amusing (and obviously wrong).
Unfortunately, the occasional hilarious wrong choice probably won't
be enough for making this game interesting for those of you
who hated taking standardized tests.
