Mad Hatter Scattergories

Come and join us for a zany word game. If you are competitive, but good natured about whether or not you win or lose, Mad Hatter Scattergories might be for you. Based on the popular word game Scattergories where you try to come up with words that no one else has thought of, this often involves lots of good-natures arguing as people challenge the Mad Hatter's decisions. In addition, because this is Madhatter Scattergories, like the Madhatter in Alice in Wonderland, the rules can change whenever the Mad Hatter gets tired of them!
