Heads Up! review
Heads Up! is a game for two players. One player closes their eyes while the other tries to get the player to guess the word on their card. There are five different categories of words (animals, family, body, jobs, and places).
The game starts with the player with the closed eyes being given a card with the word on it. The player then has to ask the other player questions about the word. The player with the card then gives the other player hints, but only by using the word itself, not the category it belongs to. The other player then has to use the hints to guess the word. The game continues until the player guesses the word or the other player gives up. The player with the closed eyes then has to guess who guessed the word. If the player with the closed eyes guesses the word, the other player is eliminated. The game continues this way until there is one player left.
Gameplay
Gameplay of Heads Up! consists of two players trying to guess words that the other player is saying. The words are classified into five categories: animals, family, body, jobs, and places. Players are given a card with a word on it, and must use the word to describe the word. The other player then has to guess what the word is. Software continues until one player guesses the word, or the other player gives up. Player without the cards must guess the card that the player with the cards is trying to convey. The cards are placed face down and the timer is set to one minute. The player without the cards must try and guess what card the player with the cards is trying to convey. This is done by asking the player with the cards to describe what is on the card, and then asking yes or no questions to narrow down the possibilities.

Conclusion
Overall, Heads Up! is a game for players who are looking for a game that is simple, fast-paced, and time-consuming. The game does not have many replayability options, and the graphics are very simple, but it does have its advantages.
Pros:
- Is that it is time-consuming
- The words are always four letters long, so it can take a while to make the words
- This is especially true in the Speed game type, because there are no hints to help the player make the words
Cons:
- One disadvantage of Heads Up! is that it is not very interactive.
- The player can't drag the letters around the board to form the words, so they are stuck with the letters that are given to them
