Did you know that a T-REX is 8 PEACOCK FEATHERS tall and that a BLUE WHALE weighs as much as 21 SCHOOL BUSES? Some people will use anything but the metric system to measure things! How Many What?! is the ridiculous party game of absurd comparisons. Anyone can play: Simply guess the size of one thing measured in something completely random and compare your answer to the other players. Rank the answers in order and vote. Even if you don't guess the closest answer, you can still gain points by choosing which of the other players' guesses was most accurate! —description from the publisher
