Fashion Police Game Review

Fashion Police

Players: 1-6

Play Time: 15 min

Ages: 6+ (I think older)

Overview:

There are three variations of Fashion Police, but all work somewhat similarly. There are six random “themes” for each round that you’re creating outfits for. Each person also has five random pattern cards, with which to make the outfit to match their randomly assigned theme. The pattern cards can be turned, layered, stacked, etc. any way you like underneath clothing templates. Then everyone decides whose outfit matches each theme. Points are awarded both for guessing correctly and having others guess your outfit currently.

Review:

I will say, this game definitely plays differently than anything else in our collection! The templates are sturdy, as are the pattern cards. I like that the pattern cards also serve as the theme cards. The various edges around them provide additional options for designing your outfits. I feel like this game, like many party games, is one where no one really cares about the points, you just laugh and have fun while you play. 

While the box says ages 6+, I don’t really see us playing with our 6 year old at all. While he could create outfits, a lot of the themes are just too nuanced or grown up to understand. Teens to adults would work better. Also, even though it says you can play with 2, I think you need at least 4 for it to work well. I see Fashion Police being a good lighthearted game for when we have gatherings with “non-gamers” since it is easy to understand and play. I don’t see myself selecting it for just my husband, teen and I to play, though.
