Balderdash
If you’re looking for a fun game that you can play as a whole family you might want to consider [tag]Balderdash[/tag]. We got this game years ago when my step-daughter was younger and visiting us. She picked it out and we had a blast playing it. Now our own daughter has found it packed away in a box and we played it last night. Sometimes we get to laughing so hard that we forget who’s turn it is!
The player who’s turn it is is the designated Dasher and reads a word off of a card. Each player then writes down what they think the word might mean. It’s a totally made up definition. The Dasher also writes down the correct definition, then mixes them all up and reads them out loud. Each player, except for the Dasher, chooses the what they think is the real definition. Points are then awarded to whoever chooses the real definition. A player can also receive points for getting other players to think their “fake” definition is the real one.
It’s a very simple game that kids who are old enough to read can play. We had a really good time. I think the funniest word we had last night was Gubermatrix. I’ll leave it up to you to figure it out.
