Don't bother with this Parker Bros. game

The Game of Things by Parker Brothers
We played this game last night and quit after about 10 minutes because it just wasn't fun.
Let me set the scene: there were 5 of us, all women, all over 30, and we had each had at least one adult beverage.
We read the instructions, which didn't really make sense, but we started anyway and agreed we would figure it out as we played. We hit roadblocks from the beginning. I was The Reader and read the first answer. The player to my left seemed stumped and it turns out, that I had read her answer. She guessed herself. That wasn't too much fun, but it thought it was a fluke. Turns out, that in each of the three rounds we played, two of us had to guess ourselves. There was nothing in the instruction book about that and it really zapped the fun out of the game.
The other issue we ran into was that the instruction said the guesser cannot guess The Reader. That just doesn't make any sense. If you know the answer belongs to The Reader, but you can't guess The Reader, then you have to guess someone else, even though you know that is incorrect. Stupid.
We boxed the game back up after three rounds because it wasn't any fun and didn't flow well. The concept is a good one, it just seems that no one actually played the game before they released it to the market. And if you're spending $29.99 on a game, you expect fun.

Amazon says this isn't available until August, but we bought it at Target last week.
Price: $29.99
