The Difference Between Women & Men is a board game released in 2005 for 3–8 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 16 and up. It was designed by Uwe Rosenberg.
Fun about stereotypes and truths. "Why men lie and woman always buy shoes" - Who doesn't know these stereotypes? In this party game, the players note their Top-5 on a specific man-and-woman theme. This theme is either determined through a random card or made up by the players (with a picture as inspiration). The items on Top-5's of the players are compared. Items that appear on the lists of several players are worth victory points. Therefore, while playing the game, you should try to expect what other players will put on their Top-5 list. What can women do better than men? What do men always have in the refrigerator? During scoring, fun surprises are guaranteed.
