It’s larger than necessary, but at least there is plenty of space to include the massive amount of paper I store in it. I usually tell people it’s all the funny parts of Balderdash, just with a riddle.Ģ.)Ĝomponents: The box is attractive and very sturdy. After every player has been the judge three times, the game ends, and the player with the most noun cards is the winner!Īfter those incredibly short rules, some comments on the game.ġ.) Rules: The game is extremely simple to play, and can be taught in less than a minute. The players (or perhaps only one player) who wrote the answers get one of the noun cards. The judge chooses whichever two answers he thinks are the funniest. The question is read aloud, and then the answers are read aloud. Once the time runs out, the pile is shuffled, and one player is chosen as a reader.
