Older kids and adults

If your kids like games they can pull out of the box and instantly know how to play.. this probably isn't for them lol It's more of a sit down and think type of game. Better suited for older kids and adults. Seems fun, just not for our family game night.

Fun guessing game!

Deadlines - The Party Game of a Lifetime is an interesting new concept for a board game.

Based on historical people, the objective is to categorize each person in the correct order based on their date of birth, date of death or life span.

This game wasn’t my kids’ favorite - it wasn’t full of thrills and loads of fun but they had a great time guessing what historical figure was born first or had a longer lifespan than others. Some cards even included some interesting facts we never knew!

What I love most about this is it is easy to travel with and the only game components are cards, making it easy to play anywhere you have a flat surface.

I would recommend this for those who have an interest or knowledge of historical people or those who want to incorporate some fun into their homeschool/learning time.

I’m not into it

Personally, I'm not super interested in celebrities, pop culture, or famous figures so a lot of the characters featured were unfamiliar to me.
The gameplay is simple enough, you just have to try to correctly order the character cards. But if you don't know much about these famous people, it can be pretty challenging and not that engaging. I found myself just guessing a lot of the time instead of feeling like I was using any actual knowledge.
The cards are thin and ok quality. I thought there would at least be pictures to go along with the names, but there isn’t. It's the kind of game that would probably collect dust on my shelf most of the time. Unless you or your friends are big into famous figures and pop culture history, I'm not sure Deadlines would see much playtime.
Overall, it seems like a boring party game and just not super relevant or interesting for someone like me who doesn't really follow that scene. If you're an older adult who loves learning about famous figures through the years, you'd probably get more enjoyment out of this than I did.

It’s just ok

Me and my family found this to be an okay game. I find the instructions were more complicated then it should be. Once we got to the game though it was easy to play and understand but you do have to explain to the young ones about death and the horrible ways these historical figures have passed. We prefer other games by foxmind like the match madness.

Not Bad

I tried the Deadlines game by Foxmind Toys and it is not a bad game. It is recommended for people ages 14+ and it can be played with 1-10 players. The concept of the game is to put famous people from pop culture, science, politics, and sports in order by either their birth, lifespan, or death. I thought the game was just ok. I'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to famous people from history and pop culture so to me the game was a bit more difficult. Overall it was fun to get together with a group of friends and family to try out a new game.

Great game for the older generation!

We sat down as a family today and played this game. My boys, ages 12 and 14, did not recognize many of the characters, so they lost interest pretty quick. On the other hand, my granddad who is 84 years young, absolutely loved this game. He really surprised me on his knowledge of so many of the characters. This is a great game for the older generation, or for someone who is a history buff. This game would go over really well at nursing homes. I plan on purchasing a few for the nursing homes in our area. This is a game that so many of them could identify with.

Great for older folks

This game was too difficult for my family but would be fun for people who love nostalgia and pop culture and like a longer type game. We have a variety of age groups and all of us, even the adults struggled to know all the data involved. Definitely a niche game for certain types of people.
