It's tricky to give advice when you're limited to a few random suggestions, but you do the best you can. Say your hand includes the following advice cards: Bring a sleeping bag, Wash behind your ears, Wear bug spray, Look for water, Consult Wikipedia, and Figure out Plan B. If the chosen task is Sleep in an igloo, your best pick is Bring a sleeping bag, right? The catch is that the planner rolls a die to see what kind of advice you are to give: the best, the worst, what grandma would tell you and what a kid would say. And if he rolls the Psychic, you have to pick your advice BEFORE the planner declares the chosen task (from a list of three on the card). Sometimes your suggestion is apt, sometimes outrageous, and occasionally it's plain irrelevant. But it's always good fun to see how your advice ranks against the advice given by other players.

Manufacturer's Description What's the best plan for climbing Mt. Everest? How about the worst plan for making a million bucks? Find out in this party game that's all about giving outrageous advice! Select a card containing a piece of advice that best fits the judge's chosen activity. Score points if the judge takes your advice, but keep in mind that plans change with the roll of a die… You might have to give out bad advice, your grandma's advice, or even advice from a psychic! Take our advice and play today! To paraphrase the great John Lennon, “a game is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” Such is the case with Sounds Like a Plan, the latest party game from the creative minds that also brought us the million-selling In a Pickle. As so many inventors tell us, the best ideas come not when they are focused on trying to make something, but when they are busy doing other things. So if you want our advice about how to make the next great game, don’t plan for it and it will certainly happen
