Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicole G from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a round to get the hang of it at first. It seemed like too much going on the first 2-3 rounds. However, after we played a few more rounds I really enjoyed all that was going on and that it was a little more complex than similar style games. Once we all got the hang of it, we couldn't stop laughing at the combinations of the situation, content and plot twists that people came up with. The drama card added a lot of fun playing with a super competitive crew. The main thing I'd change is finding a way to have the judge not know whose cards belong to who. It was a game my older kids can enjoy with adults and that has not been easy to find. I'd definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Catherine H from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Netflix Trending Now is is similar to that well known card game for humanity. As with all good Netflix shows, there's a plot twist called the Drama Lama that takes this game to a new dimension. Our family had hours of fun playing this game. No two hands are the same and that keeps the laughs coming!

Rated 2 out of 5 by miriam o from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just to be clear, I absolutely love the Netflix streaming service. me and my family use it nearly every day, which is why we were so excited to try this awesome new looking game. This game reminds me very much of apples to apples, but nearly as much fun. I feel like you have to know at least 70% of all the shows on Netflix in order for this game to be entertaining. The main concept of the game is really cool, to rearrange stories and plot lines and to dramatize everything, but the fact that not all of us knew every show just made this game not fun at all.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Morgan G from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this game, since it feels like all my family has done together this past year is watch streaming services together (thanks, pandemic!). But it fell pretty flat. The structure is that of Cards Against Humanities/Apples to Apples, both winners, but the problem here is that there were a handful of situation cards that just didn't make sense. One that stands out was "The 50 richest people in the world were interviewed, and every one of them cited ___ as their secret to success." Nobody had anything remotely close for that card, which led us to search though the deck and we couldn't come up with a good handful that would've been applicable. Plus, the "plot twist" cards didn't add much other than make things a little strange. What I can say is that it's helpful to have a deck of Netflix content on hand to shuffle through when we need inspiration for something to watch. We ended up sorting the whole deck into things that sounded interesting/we wanted to watch, so now we have a pile of vetted recommendations for movie night! In short, I wanted to like this game, but it missed the mark.

Rated 3 out of 5 by laura p from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For 3-10 players, but playing with just three isn't as fun. Each player draws cards from the Content and Plot Twist piles. Then the game begins with a Situation card and continues on from there. Each player is basically trying to pitch their new series and the Judge chooses their favorite. In average game lasts about 20 minutes depending on the number of players. Lots of laughs all around!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth T from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I thought it was just going to be trivia questions about Netflix games, but instead it was creating your own movie pitches. It was a lot of fun and easy to play. And you can play with people who have never watched Netflix!

Rated 4 out of 5 by stephen g from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We played this game the other night after receiving it. It was kind of confusing at first to learn how it worked, but once we got the hang of it, it turned out to be a pretty fun game that made us laugh almost every round. I can honestly say, that as it was fun, as of right now, I don't see myself getting excited about playing it again. But, if my daughter wants to play again, I will play for sure. She has already taught her friends the game the following day and they all seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Abigail t from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked playing this game. I like how simple it is to play. I also like that there is not a lot of different pieces.
