Erik Arneson from About.com, reckons that Time's Up! is in the Top Ten Games of all time.
"Players compete over three rounds of increasing difficulty to identify the same set of celebrities in Time's Up!, my favorite party game. It's not as easy as it sounds, and it's hilarious. Time's Up! won a Mensa Best Mind Games Award in 2000." read more...
The BGG website has an encyclopaedic list of just about every game ever invented. The members really know their games.

Mind Games® is an intense weekend of play where the members judge and critique games released in the past year and award the coveted Mensa Select® seal to the top five.
