Just make up things and laugh (0 more)

The board and player markers are generic and unimportant (0 more)

Great Party and drinking game... ignore the board and the pieces

How good are you at bullsh#tting? can you make up weird random stuff on the fly? Can you make your friends laugh? this is the game for you.... the actual point of the game doesn't matter. You're supposed to guess what the actual thing is, but no one knows these things, it's way past trivial pursuit.... So instead you make something up and hope someone votes for it to be the actual answer. I always got votes for originality rather than guessing what's right, which encourages others to out do me, which is when the fun really starts.

If you play the game as intended this is a 4 or 5 review... if you play my way this is an 8 or 9 depending on the people you are around. Hence the 7 score.

Great SFX, little elsewhere

The Ghost in the Shell refers to the emerging technology of being able to put a human brain/soul (the ghost) inside an artificial body (the shell). In a world where everyone is getting cybernetic enhancements added to their bodies, Scarlett Johansson plays Major, the first such fully artificial creation, as she awakes to find herself inside a body she is unfamiliar with. From there her career as a soldier begins, looking to root out the growing threat of brain hacking in the city.
I feel like the plot has been done so many times before that as soon as the phrase "the first of her kind" was uttered I knew most of what was to follow. While the SFX were quite special, as with Ready Player One, I felt they were a little overdone and possibly just thrown in to distract from the clichéd plot and sparse action scenes.
